WARDOGS FIELD MANUAL

Find stable settings and bindings

Change the right settings for your hardware, keep frame times stable and check that bindings survive vehicle play.

Browse all WARDOGS topics

Open Settings, use a launch-era quality comparison as a starting point, measure frame-time stability in the scene that causes trouble and verify infantry bindings after changing vehicle controls.

IceManIsaac compares launch-era quality and performance options. Settings vary by hardware; use the video as a starting point, then measure your own frame-time stability. Open original video ↗

Before you start

  • Access to the Settings menu.
  • A repeated scene where the performance problem appears.
  • Your monitor refresh rate and a rough idea of your hardware.

Start with a measured frame baseline

The comparison video is a starting point, not a hardware guarantee. Frame-time spikes during combat are more useful to fix than a high menu FPS counter.

  1. Apply the suggested quality tier for your hardware class.
  2. Stand in the same scene and record average and worst frame times.
  3. Adjust one option at a time, starting with shadows and then effects.
  4. Repeat until the combat worst case is stable, not merely the menu.

    Review date. Launch-era quality and performance comparison. Settings vary by hardware; used as a starting point only. The written guide tells players to measure their own frame-time stability.

Source review establishes what a source says. Kingy has not independently reproduced these mechanics in the current game. Community observations retain their original build context.

Check bindings after changing vehicle controls

The community flight FAQ warns that editing vehicle bindings can clear infantry assignments. Air-vehicle input damping also changed in Season 1, so older sensitivity advice may not match the live client.

  1. List the infantry actions you use every life.
  2. Change only the vehicle action you need.
  3. Return to the infantry menus and confirm every prior binding still exists.
  4. Test in a safe session before the first real deployment.

Detect a wrong setting

If frame time is unstable, verify that the applied value took effect and that no background updater is running. If input feels wrong after a change, check both infantry and vehicle pages instead of resetting everything at once.

    Common problems

    • Another player’s settings are not a hardware guarantee.
    • Menu FPS is not combat frame time.
    • Rebinding a vehicle axis can silently remove an infantry binding.
