The system requirements of Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 are definitely on the higher side. While they may not be a problem for modern PCs featuring RTX 50 series or Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs, the same cannot be said for tiny handhelds, such as ROG Ally, Legion Go, and others.

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 doesn’t run well on those handhelds, and it fails to even achieve 30 FPS. However, with our optimized settings, we were able to elevate the performance to a stable 30 FPS. This resulted in a smoother gaming experience. We are sharing the optimized settings below. Read on to learn more.

The ROG Ally and Legion Go handhelds are extremely similar in performance, since they are equipped with the same AMD Ryzen chip. The MSI Claw, with its Intel chip, is the odd one of the bunch. However, they all boast similar overall performance, so the same set of optimized settings works for all three handhelds.

Due to the high system requirements of Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, it doesn’t run well on these handheld devices. However, the game can run decently smoothly at a solid 30 FPS if you apply our optimized settings listed below:

Final Optimization

The above settings will keep Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 running at around 30 FPS, but the work is not done yet. To ensure the game doesn’t drop frame rates below 30 FPS, you will also need to apply Performance or Extreme mode to achieve full 25W or 30W, depending on the maximum capacity available on your handheld.
