Graphics / UI tab

Settings, Graphics & UI tab.
Settings, Graphics & UI tab.
OptionWhat it doesDefault
Preload graphicsFull: every game image plus your outfit and mount is loaded before you enter, so there are no black squares or stutter. Essential: a smaller set, lighter on memory. Off: images load as they first appear; quickest entry, expect stutter in new areas.Full (Essential on phones and devices with little memory)
Side hotkey barsShows the left and right hotkey bars next to the game area.On with mouse and keyboard
Highlight items by valueWhen you point at an item on the ground, an outline that follows its exact shape lights up in the colour of what it is worth (in your backpacks, its frame takes that colour): green worth keeping (500 gold or more), blue high value (5,000 or more), purple top value (30,000 or more). Off: the frame stays plain white. Values come from what this world's shopkeepers pay, plus the known worth of rare items no shop buys.On
Show metricsShows FPS, walk-step delay and drawing cost on screen, useful to find the cause of lag.Off
Low Spec ModeFreezes water, fire and other animated tiles on their first frame, shortens magic effects and caps the frame rate at 30 FPS. Creatures, items, fields and damage numbers stay visible.Off
FPS limit30, 60 or Unlimited frames per second. Lower values save battery and reduce heat. Low Spec Mode always caps at 30.60
Smooth graphicsDraws the game map at its original resolution and scales it up smoothly, like the official client's antialiasing: softer edges and every pixel the same size. Names, health bars and damage numbers stay sharp. Turn it off for crisp square pixels.On
Interface scale80% to 150%: size of the side panels, windows, hotbar and chat. The map always shows the same number of squares.100%
Floor viewNormal: upper floors and roofs are drawn as in the classic game. Locked (hide floors above): floors above you are never drawn (handy in caves and towers).Normal
Health bar styleAbove character: the classic bar over your name. Arcs around character: your health (left, green, turning yellow then red when low) and mana (right, blue) curve around your character, and your own small bar is hidden. Other creatures keep their bar.Arcs around character
Arc opacity10 to 100 %: how see-through the arcs are. Only shown with Arcs around character.100 %
Arc sizeSmall, Normal or Large: how far from your character the arcs sit and how thick they are. Only shown with Arcs around character.Normal
Display modeAuto picks the layout for your device. Desktop or Mobile forces that layout; the client asks to reload to apply it.Auto

Recommended settings

RecommendedNormal PC: Preload graphics on Full, FPS limit on 60, Low Spec Mode off, Side hotkey bars on, Highlight items by value on. Raise Interface scale to 110% or 125% on a large or high-resolution screen if the panels look small.
RecommendedWeak PC or laptop on battery: turn on Low Spec Mode (it caps at 30 FPS and calms the animations), set Preload graphics to Essential if memory is tight, and lower Interface scale to 90% on small screens. Turn on Show metrics for a moment if the game feels slow, to see the frame rate.
RecommendedPhone or tablet: keep Game zoom on Auto, FPS limit on 30 to save battery, Keep screen awake on, and Tap to walk on. Pick D-pad or Joystick (classic) and a Control size that suits your thumb; left-handed players can turn on Left-handed (control on the right). Try Screen protector mode if long presses fail, and use Customize layout to place every block where you like.
RecommendedBusy hunts: turning off Show damage and healing in Server Log keeps that tab readable; Supply assistant (this session) warns you before your runes or potions run out.
