RV There Yet? is a physics-heavy game that can be demanding on your system. Many players experience crashes, frame drops, and stuttering if their graphics settings aren't properly optimized. This guide will help you find the perfect balance between visual quality and performance.
Important: Crashes are often caused by high graphics settings on systems that can't handle them. If you're experiencing frequent crashes, start with the low-end settings below.
๐ Table of Contents
๐ง Common Graphics Issues
Game Crashes to Desktop
Usually caused by settings that exceed your GPU's capabilities, especially shadows and post-processing effects.
Stuttering/Frame Drops
Often related to texture quality and view distance settings being too high for your VRAM.
Input Lag
Can be caused by VSync settings or running at too high a resolution for your system.
๐ป Low-End PC Settings
Recommended for: Systems with 4-6GB RAM, integrated graphics, or older GPUs (GTX 960 or lower)
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 1280x720 (720p) |
| Display Mode | Fullscreen |
| Graphics Quality | Low |
| Texture Quality | Low |
| Shadow Quality | Off or Very Low |
| Anti-Aliasing | Off |
| Post-Processing | Low or Off |
| View Distance | Low (50-60%) |
| VSync | Off |
| FPS Cap | 30 FPS |
๐ก Pro Tip: These settings should give you stable 30 FPS without crashes. Once stable, gradually increase one setting at a time to find your system's limit.
๐ฅ๏ธ Mid-Range PC Settings
Recommended for: Systems with 8-16GB RAM, GTX 1060/1660 or RX 580 equivalent
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|

| FPS Cap | 60 FPS |
๐ก Pro Tip: These settings should give you smooth 60 FPS gameplay with good visuals. Shadows have the biggest performance impact - lower them first if you need extra FPS.
๐ High-End PC Settings
Recommended for: Systems with 16GB+ RAM, RTX 3060/4060 or RX 6700 XT equivalent or better
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 |
| Display Mode | Fullscreen |
| Graphics Quality | High or Epic |
| Texture Quality | High or Epic |
| Shadow Quality | High |
| Anti-Aliasing | TAA or MSAA x2 |
| Post-Processing | High |
| View Distance | High (90-100%) |
| VSync | Adaptive or G-Sync/FreeSync |
| FPS Cap | Unlimited or 144 FPS |
๐ก Pro Tip: Even with high-end hardware, avoid "Epic" shadows if you want consistent 144 FPS. High shadows look nearly identical with much better performance.
