How To Fix the DLSS FPS Issue in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PC
Brogan Adjustment works every time!
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is another technical showcase of id Tech 7, with MachineGames at the helm. The game now has path tracing support on PC as well, making it one of the more demanding releases of the year should you enable that feature. It also comes with DLSS and Frame Generation which helps to boost the performance. However, for some users, DLSS can have the opposite effect, and reduce the overall frame rate in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, thankfully, there’s a simple workaround for that.
Fixing the DLSS FPS Issue in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
MachineGames is aware of a bug that’s causing performance issues for some players when DLSS is enabled in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. They have provided a workaround for this, and it’s to switch to TAA, and then back to DLSS. It’s literally a “turn it on and off again” solution, which actually seems to work.
- Head over to the Video settings
- Here, set the value of Upscaling from DLSS to Native TAA
- Now, head back to the game, and open the menu again
- Switch Native TAA back to DLSS, and it should work properly now
This should fix the DLSS FPS issue, and you’ll get the expected performance from using the upscaling technique. If you have a 4000 series GPU, we highly recommend using Frame Generation as well, as that greatly increases the overall frame rate.
Disable Low Latency Mode in the Nvidia Control Panel
If you have the Low Latency Mode setting enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel, disable it for now. For some reason, it doesn’t work properly with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle causing massive frame drops even on high-end GPUs. This shouldn’t be enabled on a Global level anyway.
- Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, and select Manage 3D Settings under 3D Settings
- Select Program Settings
- Under “Select a program to customize” select Indiana Jones and the Great Circle or click Add to select it from recent applications
- Next, set the value of Low Latency Mode to off
- Save the changes
Generic Troubleshooting
Finally, you can try the following generic troubleshooting suggestions.
- Update DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables (Recommended)
- Update Windows to the latest version
- Update GPU Drivers: NVIDIA – AMD – Intel
- Update your BIOS, especially if you’re using an Intel 13th or 14th-generation processor
- Switch to your dedicated GPU if you’re playing on a laptop
We hope that another major patch is underway to resolve the lingering issues in the title. Patch One already fixed plenty of issues that players reported during the early access period, and we’re glad to see MachineGames listening to feedback.
To further improve the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle experience, players can manually adjust the LOD draw distance, skip the intro videos, and access their local progress.
