Verify V Rising Game Files

Ensure your game files are complete and up to date. Make sure that V Rising is not running in the background, and open up your Steam library. Here, right-click V Rising and select Properties.

Steam Library > V Rising > Properties

In the Local Files tab, select Verify integrity of game files. This will take a minute to redownload and replace any missing or corrupted game files.

Game V Rising Compatibility Settings

Open up your File Explorer and navigate to the drive on which you saved the game on Program Files > Steam > steamapps > common > V Rising here, right-click the VRising.exe application, and go to its Properties.

VRising.exe > Properties

Ensure you’re in the Compatibility tab, select Disable Fullscreen Optimizations, and apply your changes.

VRising Properties > Compatibility > Disable Full-screen Optimizations

Adjust the Windows Display Settings

Next, right-click your desktop and select Display Settings.

Make sure that the scaling is set to 100% and that you use a standard native resolution. In your in-game graphics settings, set the window mode to Fullscreen.

System Settings > Display > Scale & Layout

Close Resource Intensive Apps

If the issue persists, open up your Task Manager by searching for it in your start menu search. In the Processes tab, make sure to end the programs from running in the background, which could show an overlay while in-game. In my case, that would be Steam, GeForce Experience, or Discord.

You should also end CPU-intensive processes, such as Shadowplay and Adobe Applications, but make sure to only end the processes from running that you know won’t break your operating system.

Task Manager > Processes > End Task

Update Graphics Driver

Ensure your graphics driver is up to date. I suggest using the GeForce Experience application for an NVIDIA GPU, but you can also use the AMD driver suite. Depending on how frequently you update your GPU, this tweak can make the biggest difference.

In the Drivers tab, simply click on Download and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.

GeForce Experience > Drivers > Check for Updates

Windows Update

Search for Update to open your Check for updates system settings window. Click on Check for updates, and restart your PC after downloading the latest OS update.

Windows Settings > Windows Update

Enable NVIDIA Image Scaling

You might need to lower your in-game graphics settings if the problem is related to your system performance. If you’re using an NVIDIA graphics card, I suggest enabling NVIDIA Image Scaling, which will significantly increase your performance. Navigate to your GeForce settings. Scroll down and enable the Image Scaling option. This will boost your overall frame rates when playing a game on your PC.

GeForce Experience Settings > General > Image Scaling
