[edit] Introduction

TRS2019 provides a huge range of graphical and performance based options to allow users to customise their experience based upon their hardware configuration and personal game preferences.

When first starting up TRS19, a Performance Configurator screen appears. Simply select the option that most closely matches your hardware configuration.

Low setting means that graphics settings are low, and performance is high.

Ultra setting means that graphics settings are at their highest, and performance is lower.
