LEAP Performance and FPS Guide

This guide aims to help you improve the performance and overall FPS while playing Leap on PC. I have a GTX 1070, INTEL I5-6600K, 16GB, Windows 10 Pro.

Steam

1. Search Leap in the Steam library. Right-click and go to Properties. Add -d3d11 to the startup options.
2. Go back to Properties. Locate local files and click browse. In the Leap folder look for the Leap.exe. Right-click and check Disable Full Screen Optimizations.
3. I’m having massive FPS issues with the Steam interface. I recommend minimizing STEAM before starting the game. Go to the system tray and click on the steam icon and press right click: then click on “close window”. (Steam remains open but minimized)
