What is FPS?
FPS(Frames Per Second) refers to how many times per second the game's image is refreshed, determining the smoothness of the visuals on your monitor.
The higher your FPS is, the better (and smoother) your gaming experience will be.
Some players think that FPS depends on their internet connection or the game's server, that's a common misconception as players often confuse FPS & PING. FPS actually depends on your computer’s hardware and performance.
You can see your current FPS at the bottom right corner of the screen

How to increase FPS?
There are many simple and known ways to increase/raise FPS, for examples as:
- Check your in-game settings. Make sure that all graphic settings are disabled/turned off.
- Decrease the size of the game window (press the «-» (minus) button on the keyboard while in battle.
- Close all programs & tabs opened on your computer except the game.
- Select your dedicated graphics card to run the game instead of integrated graphics. The location of this option varies based on the type of graphics card you have. For example, if you have Nvdia Graphics cards, you right-click on the screen and select "Open graphic settings" and for AMD graphic cards you right-click on your desktop and select "AMD Radeon settings"
- Try restarting your PC and make sure there are no applications that "Auto Start" upon initial boot of your computer.
