This guide provides performance and computer specification information for The Pointless Car Chase: Refueled.

Resolution
Changes the size of the game window.
Lower resolution means higher FPS, but UI will look less-good. Drastically improves performance.

Quality Settings
The overall quality of the game (shadows, textures, lighting).
Lower value makes the game look less-good. Greatly improves performance.

Render Distance
The maximum camera clipping distance.
Lower value means the camera view is cut off at a closer distance. Helps performance.

Tree Render Distance
The maximum distance trees are rendered in 3D.
Lower value means trees will be rendered in 2D closer. Helps performance.

Depth of Field Distance
Distance at which the world is blurred, good for masking crunchy-looking objects in the distance.
Does not greatly affect performance.

Civilian Density
Changes total civilians on the roads.
Lower value means less cars on road (with higher points per destroyed car), and reduces the number of AI calculations.
Greatly improves performance.

Concert
Watching the concert with the "Medium" or "Low" graphics setting will disable the light effects, and improve the watching experience.
Disabling the concert can greatly improve FPS. To disable, toggle on "Disable concert" in the settings menu. Now, the concert will not start, and the game performance will be improved.


Quality Settings
Best when played with the "Low Quality - VR" setting.

Tree Render Distance
Lower values greatly improve VR performance.

Note:
- For maximum performance, lowering all settings above will result in a smoother VR experience.
- In this event where the game does not start properly in VR mode, reload the game and the issue should be fixed.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
Do not open the "Oculus Home" when connected to Oculus Link — It will consume processing power in the background.

- The game will run smoothly with a GTX 1050Ti or equivalent.

- An SSD can greatly improve load-times. The speed difference between an SSD and HDD is significant. As shown below, load times increased from as high as 30 seconds down to 5 seconds.

The game utilizes a moderate amount of both CPU and GPU, and will use require more RAM if large workshop files are loaded. An SSD is recommended to reduce load times, but is not necessary. When playing in VR, a USB 3.1 cable is highly recommended to assure smooth gameplay.
