How to run Stray on a Low-End PC?
Our guide has two steps. The first step is a basic one that can make the game run on any PC with a dedicated graphics unit. And the second step is the more complicated one that involves downloading some extra files. We will provide you with the link for it below.
Set dedicated GPU as the default for the game:
- Press Windows Key + I to open Windows settings.
- Go to System > Display > Graphics.
- Here, under Add an app, you will see the browse button. Click on it.
- Go to the game file location on your PC. It will be the application executable file that you run to open up the title. The location for it will depend on where you saved the game during installation.
- Once you select the application file, it will be added to the list below.
- Next to the added file, you will see the buttons “Options” and “Remove.”
- Click on Options.
- Select High Performance and then click on Save.
Now try running the game. If it does not load up correctly, try the next solution.
