If your PC meets the minimum system requirements to run FragPunk but you are still facing poor performance, try restarting the game as well as your PC. If the issue persists, try these steps:

1) Update your GPU drivers

If you haven't downloaded and installed the latest GPU drivers, it can often lead to compatibility issues. This in turn can lead to terrible performance even during light tasks and gaming. This can be simply fixed by downloading and installing the latest GPU drivers. To do this, follow these steps:

Nvidia users

If you own a Nvidia graphics card, you can check for updates using the Nvidia App. Follow these steps:

• Open the Nvidia App.

• If there are new drivers available, click on Download.
• Once the download is complete, install the drivers by clicking Express Installation.

AMD users

If you are on Team Red, follow these steps:

• Download and open the AMD Adrenalin Edition app.

• Go to the Installed Files tab.
• Select Verify Integrity of Game Files and let Steam analyze everything.

3) Check and fix any overheating and poor ventilation issues

In case your PC is overheating, try to find the root of this problem and fix it as higher temperatures lead to terrible performance while playing FragPunk. Moreover, it can also decrease your PC's life. If there is any accumulated dust on your PC cabinet, start by cleaning it. Next, ensure that all the fans are working properly. If not, install new fans.

Moreover, you also need to ensure that your cabinet has proper air flow. If you are still facing poor performance while playing the game, try replacing your CPU's thermal paste.
