Upon launching into Early Access, Gray Zone Warfare suffers from severe performance issues plaguing many within the community. It’s not just those with aging hardware experiencing frame drops and lag, though. Even those with high-end PCs find themselves struggling to render Lamang. Here are a few of the best settings in Gray Zone Warfare to help you improve performance!
Gray Zone Warfare Settings to Reduce Lag and Improve Performance
You’ll note that to improve performance and reduce lag in Gray Zone Warfare, we went ahead and set many of the graphical settings to ‘Medium.’ Not all, but most. Despite lowering the overall graphics settings a few notches below what’s expected, the overall graphical fidelity of the game isn’t sacrificed. It’s a gorgeous extraction shooter! Plus, lowering these settings significantly improves overall FPS!

Is Gray Zone Warfare Good?
You know what? Despite the many launch issues, such as poor performance and the community itself (I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve lost kits to team-killing), I’m having an absolute blast in Gray Zone Warfare. As a transplant from Escape From Tarkov, GZW shows promise. It’s exciting and entertaining, but man, I cannot get enough of the helicopter insertion. It’s immersive!
If you want a tactical extraction shooter to play with the squad—one that focuses less on PvP and more on PvE and completing missions—Gray Zone should provide you with plenty of hours of game time!
