Ok so I have found a way to increase fps (it really works I went from 2 fps to around 20). Ok so first go to Steam and right click Unturned and hit 'properties' and in general click 'set launch options'. Copy this" -force-d3d9 -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=3 -high" and paste it. Then open your task manager (shift tab and delete) and you may have to click 'view more details' and then click details. Scroll down to Unturned.exe and right click and hit priority and set it to high. It will pull up a warning, but it won't actually do anything. You'll have to redo the part about the task manager every time you re-open the game, but it is worth it for better fps. If you have any questions talk to me and I'll try and help you.

I can also tell you some settings to change that unknowingly can cause lag
-
Can you tell me how exactly did you figure this out?
-
I knew about setting it as priority just never did it, and I found the code through Google
-
'-cpuCount=2' Change the 2 to however many CPU cores you have (i.e I have 4 so I would change it to -cpuCount=4)
-
Works for every game btw people, so its very useful. Just be aware of heating up your PC, since all cores get used simultaneously. Also slows down other processes on the computer.
Thanks,

Absolutely, the more CPUs used the less memory used on other processes.

Thx for input guys, I felt this was a really good thing to show people being as 5 fps to 20 is really an improvement. I showed this to my friend before releasing it here to make sure it wasn't just me and it improved her game as well.

I have used this method before. But, it screwed up my laptop's battery, and it makes it so hard to open any other app while Unturned is running... Just simply use Razor speed up (adds up 3-6 fps) and set your computer from best appearance to best performance (this adds another 3-5 FPS depending on specs and background apps). To avoid screwing up your laptop.

Here's a small graph of specs if people are going to try this method: (correct me if I'm wrong)
CORES THREADS Core 2 duo
Core i3
Core i5
Core i72
2
4
4-82
4 (HT)
4 (no HT)
8 (HT)
HT stands for Hyper Threading.
So, if you have a Core i3 processor, then it should be: -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=4 -high
Avoid this common mistake: "Oh shit son! I have a core i7 processor so that means I have 7 cores!!"
-
That seems about right - my i5 has 4 cores and my i7 in my laptop has 4 cores
-
BTW, to reverse the launch option settings just simply input "-autoconfig" in the place of "-force-d3d9 -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=3 -high"
