1. Open the game and set everything in settings as minimum or disable — save it, close the game after that.


2. Download file «Potato.zip», and open archive.

[ IMPORTANT TIPS ]

1. If your FPS has dropped low after the cutscene or something like that, make a quick save and upload it.

• For example: it was like this for me after the end of the prologue of the game - the frame rate dropped to 20FPS, and after a quick save and download it increased again to 100FPS+

2.Flashlight decrease your FPS when it turned on, so if you would like to have more FPS and not use the flashlight in the Settings → Display → Gamma: 66%
