Indiana Jones and the Great Circleis 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.
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.
Generic Troubleshooting
Finally, you can try the following generic troubleshooting suggestions.
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 canmanually adjust the LOD draw distance,skip the intro videos, andaccess their local progress.
