Troubleshooting · the game’s own settings and official triage

Graveyard Keeper 2 performance & graphics settings

There is no single fix for Graveyard Keeper 2 performance: the game’s own settings menu holds about ten options, the developers answer low FPS and crashes with four general steps, and most of the rest is other players’ per-setup experience. This page lists the game’s own options and the official steps first, then marks what comes from players.

What the settings menu contains

These are the option names the game itself shows on its settings screen (10 of them). Grouping them into display, audio and interface is this site’s own reading — the game’s string tables carry no menu order.

The developers’ four steps for low FPS and crashes

The developers’ pinned troubleshooting post has no per-configuration answers, only these four steps. This page repeats them rather than extending them.

  1. 1

    Install the latest GPU drivers and OS updates.

  2. 2

    Make sure the PC meets the minimum requirements.

  3. 3

    Lower the graphics quality or the resolution — the Graphics Quality option listed above.

  4. 4

    Run Steam’s integrity check for the installed files: library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity.

Where the files a report needs live

The same post names them: the save is a pair of .dat and .info files and the log is Player.log, all under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper 2.

What players report

All three below are player or third-party statements. This site measured none of them; the carrier and date are named instead (checked 2026-09-23).

Topic What was reported, and where
Steam Deck frame rates A launch-day Steam review reads “Steam Deck like 30-40 fps”, and the YouTube channel NotAGameAddict tested the same thing in “Steam Deck OLED / Graveyard Keeper 2 Performance / SteamOS 3.9”.
The Steam guide section filled up with troubleshooting first The first guides published after launch were “Framerate Smoothness & Stuttering Fix Guide” and “32:9 / 5120x1440 Ultrawide Fix”, plus a quality-of-life mod list the author marks as no balance changes and no spoilers.
Ultrawide and UI scaling keep coming back The Steam discussions and reviews ask about 32:9 and 5120×1440, resolution and UI scaling. This page does not copy those patch tools; it lists the game’s own settings instead.

Voice-over and language: two switches already in the menu

The developers’ pinned FAQ confirms a switch between the fully voiced audio and the characters’ original mumbling, which is the Voiceover Mode option in the settings menu; the language is switched there too, with no file editing involved.

Data and evidence

  • Setting names and the four graphics levels: the game’s own string tables (release build 1.004.2), 10 options.
  • The four triage steps, the save and log paths, the report channels and the voice-over switch: the developers’ pinned troubleshooting post and FAQ on Steam (read 2026-09-23).
  • The Steam Deck frame rate, the Steam guide titles and the ultrawide questions: launch-window Steam reviews, the Steam guide section and the discussions (read 2026-09-23) — player reports.

Checked against 1.004.2. This page offers no config-file edits or third-party patches, and promises no frame rate from any setting.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the graphics settings, and what is in them?
The game's Settings menu covers three kinds of option: display (Screen Mode, Screen Size and Graphics Quality, which itself has Lowest, Low, Medium and High), audio (Master Volume, Music, SFX and Speech) and interface (Language, Cursor Mode and Voiceover Mode).
What should I try first for low FPS or stutter?
The developers’ pinned troubleshooting post gives four steps: update GPU drivers and the OS, check the minimum requirements, lower the graphics quality or resolution, and run Steam’s integrity check. There is no per-configuration answer from the developers; the Steam guide section fills that in per setup.
Can I switch back to the original mumbling?
Yes. The Voiceover Mode option in the settings menu is the switch between the full voice-over and the characters’ original mumbling, and the developers’ pinned FAQ confirms the option exists.
What files should I attach to a bug report?
The developers’ post asks for the save (.dat and .info) and the log file Player.log, all under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper 2.
Does Graveyard Keeper 2 run on GeForce Now?
Not announced. As of 2026-09-23 the GeForce Now catalogue lists the first Graveyard Keeper but not the sequel, and the developers have said nothing about cloud streaming; a Steam thread asks the same question. Treat it as unconfirmed.
