Key notes

Don’t we all like a good zombie game from time to time? The nostalgia just flows through our veins as we relive the dread and adrenaline from old timely horror movie. If you’re a fan of theWorld War Zcomic book, and movie adaptation, we have some good news for you. The game is out, brought to us by Saber Interactive.

The game features a fourplayerco-op mode, so you can get stuck with your friends into the fray, andfight the hordes of the undeadin your wake. Make your stand with defensive traps and encampments, survive against all odds.

It does bring up a familiar blend of some oldergames, but it really brings out the better aspects of the movie and comic book.

As we’re already familiar with this fact, no single launch can be deemed flawless. The game is prone to having the occasional glitch here and there.

The akwardcrash, or the video stuttering, or even audio issue being included in the problem department.

But even against a group of roaming bugs, we have a cure for you, a few actually. So let’s get started, shall we?

The first step we’d recommend you take is verifying yourgamevia Epic Game Launcher.

Try switching to Windowed mode or Fullscreen mode. As a final step, run Epic Launcher with Administrator rights.

2. Game lag issues

You need to make sure that Dynamic Super Sampling is turned off or set very low (check the Nvidia Control Panel under 3D Settings). Adjust in-game graphic defaults (High/Max/Low) to test your frames per second.

Do this until you find one of those settings that significantlyincrease FPS. Then try changing each graphical setting one by one to see if a specific graphical option, such as textures or anti-aliasing was the main FPS culprit.
