Solving technical problems and adjusting the graphics of the new horror movie based on Giger and Lovecraft
Upon release, Scorn received mixed reviews. Most admit that the authors managed to create an oppressive atmosphere and maintain the visual style of biomechanics based on the work of Giger and with elements of Lovecraft. However, the passage leaves mixed impressions due to non-obvious puzzles and imperfect technical condition.
What kind of computer is needed for Scorn (system requirements)?
We studied the game tests on different hardware at different resolutions and came to the conclusion that the official system requirements are more likely to be calculated at 1440p (2560x1440):

Scorn technical issues
Won't start / freezes on startup / black screen / vcruntime140_1.dll error
- start Steam ;
- go to the "Library" section;
- right - click on the game name ( Scorn ) in the list on the left and open the properties;
- in the "Local files" tab, click "Verify integrity of game files";
- wait for the process to complete.
"Not enough memory" error

Scorn slows down / lags / low FPS
- NVIDIA GeForce. The site itself will select the appropriate drivers. Just click "Search" and then "Download Now". After the download is complete, run the downloaded file and follow the instructions in the installer.
- AMD Radeon. Scroll down to Search for your product and select your graphics card under Graphics. Click the Submit button. On the page that opens, click LMB on your version of Windows and click "Download". Once the download is complete, run the downloaded file and follow the instructions in the installer.
Graphics settings in Scorn / how to increase FPS (frame rate) in the game
- "Display Mode". In most cases, it is better to choose full screen. So the system will allocate maximum resources to the game itself, without maintaining the desktop. And for streamers, full-screen borderless windowed mode is suitable - it will allow you to easily move the mouse cursor between two monitors (however, the performance will be slightly lower).
- "Permission". Some people like to lower the resolution to increase performance. But this is too radical a way that spoils all the graphics at once - it is better to lower individual options further. And here set the native resolution of your display (for example, 1920x1080).
- FidelityFX. Image sharpening due to technology from AMD (works on any video card). It is important to understand that sharpening does NOT make the image more detailed.
- "Sharpness". This sets the specific level of sharpening if FidelityFX is enabled above. Adjust by eye.
- Motion Blur. Slight effect of speed in the form of motion blur of the camera and some moving objects. Doesn't really affect performance. If you don't like the effect, you can turn it off.
- "AT. synchronization". In first-person games, in most cases, it is better to turn it off.
- "Maximum FPS" You can limit to 60 if you have a weak processor. Or do not limit, which will make the input delay lower.
- "Visual effects" (up to 10%). Lighting and shaders (interaction of surfaces with light). We tested on a modern video card and the performance at high quality decreased by no more than 5% compared to low. On older video cards, the difference may be greater (even if they are powerful enough).
- "Post-processing" (up to 20%) . Color correction and various cinematic effects. There are many such interactions with the picture in Scorn, so this is one of the most resource-intensive settings in the game. On older video cards, you will have to set the quality to low. On relatively current ones (GeForce RTX 2000 and up, Radeon RX 5000 and up), depending on power, try medium or high.
- "Shadows" (up to 15%). In dark corridors, it has little effect on performance, but the more light there is in the location, the higher the resource intensity of shadows. Set the quality to low or medium.
- "Textures" (up to 6 GB VRAM). Doesn't affect performance if you have enough video memory. High-quality textures require 6 gigabytes. If you have less, downgrade to medium (4 GB) or low (3 GB or less).
- "Smoothing" (up to 5%). From the configuration file, it becomes clear that Scorn uses the TAA anti-aliasing method. It is not too resource-intensive for most video cards that are still alive, but it slightly “blurs” the image. To avoid this, try setting the quality to high or medium/low and additionally enable FidelityFX (see the beginning of the chapter).
