Introduction

In recent years, the WarRock community has voiced numerous complaints about the game’s performance, especially regarding FPS drops, micro-lag, and overall optimization issues.

While the developers have made changes, many players still experience unstable performance, which directly affects gameplay.

After extensive testing by experienced players, it has been proven that Intel hardware delivers better results when it comes to avoiding graphic lag, especially compared to certain AMD setups that may present more micro-stutters.

However, even with a powerful Intel processor, it’s still necessary to apply a series of optimizations to squeeze out every possible FPS and ensure maximum smoothness during matches.

This guide brings together the most effective steps to optimize WarRock — from system installation to advanced network and hardware tweaks — with the goal of letting you play without interruptions and with the highest possible stability.

1. Reduce Processes in Windows (Debloat)

One of the most important steps to improve performance and FPS in WarRock is to minimize unnecessary processes running in the background.

This process is known as debloat, and it consists of removing applications, services, and tasks that do not contribute to the game’s performance but do consume resources such as CPU, RAM, and bandwidth.

Advantages of debloating:

  • Lower RAM and CPU usage.
  • Greater stability and speed in the game.
  • Fewer processes that could interfere with the connection or cause micro-lag.

Examples of things you can disable or remove:

  • Pre-installed Windows apps you don’t use.
  • Services that are not essential for the game.
  • Programs that automatically start when you turn on your PC.

2. Install DirectX 9 (even if your Windows already includes it)

WarRock was originally developed to run on DirectX 9, so even if your version of Windows already has a newer version installed, it is essential to manually install DirectX 9.0c to ensure the best compatibility and graphical performance.

Many modern operating systems include newer DirectX components, but they don’t always install all the older libraries the game requires. This can cause:

  • FPS drops.
  • Graphical errors.
  • Longer loading times.

3. Install the game on the fastest part of the drive

Install WarRock on the first partition of your drive or on an SSD.

If you have a dedicated Windows installation for gaming, make WarRock the first program you install so it’s placed in the fastest sectors of the drive.

4. Set WarRock to High Priority via Registry Editor

In Regedit, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

  • Create a key named warrock.exe.
  • Inside it, create another key named PerfOptions.
  • Inside PerfOptions, create a DWORD (32-bit) named CpuPriorityClass with the value 3 (Hexadecimal).

This permanently assigns high CPU priority to the game.

5. Install the latest graphics card drivers

Keeping your GPU drivers up to date (whether NVIDIA or AMD) is essential to ensure the best compatibility, stability, and performance in WarRock.

The latest versions include game optimizations, bug fixes, and improvements in resource usage.

6. Optimize your GPU control panel settings

For NVIDIA:

  • Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Texture filtering quality: High performance
  • Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1

For AMD:

  • Profile: High performance
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Texture filtering: Performance

7. Use TCP Optimizer to reduce ping

TCP Optimizer is a free tool that adjusts Windows network parameters to improve connection speed and reduce latency in online games like WarRock.

Steps to configure it:

  1. Download TCP Optimizer from its official website.
  2. Run the program as Administrator.
  3. At the top, select your network adapter (the one you use for gaming).
  4. In the Internet Speed slider, set your actual download speed (according to a test like Speedtest.net).
  5. Select the Optimal option and click Apply changes.
  6. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

8. Install Razer Cortex

Razer Cortex is a free software that optimizes your PC for gaming by closing unnecessary processes, freeing up RAM, and prioritizing resources so the game can run with the best possible performance.

It is especially useful for those who don’t want to manually close programs every time they play.

How to use it:

  1. Download Razer Cortex from its official website.
  2. Install it and create a free account.
  3. In the Game Booster section, add WarRock to your game list.
  4. Enable the option to automatically optimize the system when WarRock runs.
  5. (Optional) Configure RAM cleanup before launching the game.

9. Use TimerResolution

TimerResolution is a small tool that adjusts Windows’ internal timer to improve the system’s responsiveness.

In games like WarRock, this can reduce input lag and make actions — such as shooting or moving — feel faster.

How to use it:

  1. Download TimerResolution from a trusted source.
  2. Run the program as Administrator.
  3. Click Maximum to set the lowest possible latency.
  4. Keep TimerResolution open while playing.

10. Set WarRock to High Performance GPU

In Windows 10 (and newer versions), you can choose which graphics card each application should use.

On laptops with both integrated and dedicated GPUs, or on PCs with multiple graphics cards, this ensures WarRock always uses the most powerful GPU for maximum performance.

How to configure it:

  1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.
  2. Go to System → Display → Graphics settings (at the bottom of the page).
  3. Under Choose an app to set preference:
    • Select Classic app and click Browse.
    • Locate the folder where WarRock is installed and select warrock.exe.
  4. Once added, click Options and select:
    • High performance (dedicated GPU).
  5. Save changes and close the window.

Set Your Monitor to the Maximum Refresh Rate

Making sure your monitor is configured to use its maximum refresh rate (Hz) is essential for WarRock to look smoother and respond better to your movements.

If your monitor supports, for example, 144 Hz or 240 Hz but Windows is set to 60 Hz, you’re missing out on a significant performance advantage.

How to configure it in Windows 10/11:

  1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.
  2. Go to System → Display.
  3. Click Advanced display settings (at the bottom).
  4. Select your monitor and look for the Refresh rate option.
  5. Choose the highest available rate (e.g., 144 Hz, 165 Hz, 240 Hz).
  6. Apply the changes.

Pro tip: If you’re using an HDMI or DisplayPort cable, make sure it supports your monitor’s maximum refresh rate, as some cables can limit the frequency.

Enable Ultimate Performance Mode in Windows

The Ultimate Performance mode is a hidden power plan in Windows 10/11 designed to remove micro-latencies and give your system the maximum possible power, sacrificing any energy-saving features.

In games like WarRock, this mode helps keep your CPU frequency more stable and ensures the hardware responds faster.

How to enable it:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
    • Press Windows + S, type cmd, right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
  2. Enable the Ultimate Performance plan:
    • In the command window, type the following command and press Enter:

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

  1. Select the power plan:
    • Go to Control Panel → Hardware and Sound → Power Options.
    • Select Ultimate Performance.


Final Words & Credits

By following the steps in this guide, you can significantly improve your WarRock experience — achieving smoother gameplay, higher FPS, and reduced latency.

Remember: optimization is a combination of hardware setup, system tweaks, and good in-game habits. The more consistent you are in applying these settings, the more benefits you’ll see in every match.

A big thank you to all the players who have tested, shared, and refined these optimization techniques over the years.
