Verify Game Files

If you encounter game-breaking issues after an update, the first step is to ensure your installation isn’t corrupted. Use Steam’s “Verify Integrity of Game Files” option to check for missing or damaged data, then restart your computer before relaunching.

  • Right-click on Lost Soul Aside in the Steam Library list
  • Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files

This step will likely resolve post-patch crashes.

Check Graphics Settings

Check Lost Soul Aside’s Display and Graphics settings. The game automatically applies a preset based on your hardware, but patches can occasionally reset or misconfigure settings. Lower the following settings if you are facing low frame rates:

  • Super Sampling Quality
  • Shadow Quality
  • Low Latency Mode: Off

Players can also experiment with View Distance and Frame Generation options. Lowering or turning off these settings lowers processor load without drastically affecting visuals. Finally, if nothing else works, reduce your entire graphics preset by one step across the board. This frees up VRAM and prevents memory bottlenecks that can lead to stutters.

Update Drivers 

Keep your GPU drivers and Windows updates current. Close applications like screen recorders or browsers that may interfere with performance.

Check CPU Usage 

If stuttering continues, the issue may be CPU-related. Open Task Manager and end any high-usage background processes before launching the game. Even slightly reducing CPU load can reduce in-game stutters. Avoid minimizing the game or using Alt + Tab while playing, as this can trigger frame drops when returning to the game.
