Warzone Season 1 Best PC Settings: More FPS on Hajin

Short answer: for the best FPS and visibility in Warzone Season 1 on PC, use DLSS (NVIDIA) or FSR (AMD) on Quality, turn on NVIDIA Reflex On + Boost, set Texture Resolution based on your video memory (High on 12 GB+, Normal on 8 GB), keep Shadows, Ambient Occlusion and Particles low, and turn Motion Blur, Depth of Field and Film Grain off. Set your Field of View to 100 to 110.

Season 1 went live on November 6, 2026 and fully merged Modern Warfare 4 into Warzone, with two new maps, Hajin and Zodiac. If your FPS dropped after the update, the settings below fix most of it.

What's new in Warzone Season 1

Release	November 6, 2026 (midnight ET)
Price	Free to play
New Battle Royale map	Hajin, with its own Gulag, dynamic weather and interactive areas
New Resurgence map	Zodiac
New modes	Rally Point (20 players, no circle), Massive Resurgence (120 players on Hajin), Loaded Resurgence (44 players, custom loadouts)
Gameplay	Tactical Sprint for everyone (slightly shorter), drag downed teammates while reviving, better revives, 18 Perks with new Elite Perks
Returning later	Verdansk and Rebirth Island

Hajin is a big map with weather effects, so it is heavier on your PC than Rebirth Island. That is why many players see lower FPS since the update.

Best Warzone Season 1 PC settings

Menu names can change slightly between updates, but these are the settings that matter most:

Display

Setting	Best value	Why
Display mode	Fullscreen Exclusive	Lowest input lag
Display resolution	Your monitor's native resolution	Use upscaling instead of a lower resolution

Screen Space Reflections	Off
Particle Quality	Low	Fewer effects in your way during fights

How to fix low FPS and stutter after Season 1

1. Update your graphics driver. New seasons often get a game-ready driver from NVIDIA or AMD.
2. Let the shaders compile after every update. Stutter in your first matches usually comes from this.
3. Lower Texture Resolution on 8 GB cards. Running out of video memory is the main cause of stutter in big maps like Hajin.
4. Install the game on an SSD.
5. Close background apps (browsers, overlays you don't need).
6. If the game crashes or will not start, see Modern Warfare 4 Crashing or Not Launching: Fixes.
