FAQ

OPTICS only edits Bodycam's two settings files (GameUserSettings.ini and Engine.ini) and a few reversible Windows options. It never opens, reads or changes the running game, and it doesn't add anything to it. For extra caution, turn on Online-safe mode: then OPTICS only changes the settings the game's own menu can change. We can't speak for the game's developers, but nothing OPTICS does touches the game process.

It depends on your PC, so we don't promise a number. OPTICS measures your FPS, 1% lows and stutters before and after in the same spot, so you see your real difference. Players post their measured results in the Discord's #fps-results.

The ones that cost the most on weaker PCs: render resolution, global illumination, shadows, texture memory, reflections and similar. Each change shows what it costs in looks. They're standard Unreal Engine 5 settings, still being verified against Bodycam with testers, so some may do little.

On NVIDIA cards, OPTICS can set three driver settings for Bodycam only: maximum performance power, low latency mode and the shader cache. Other games keep theirs, and one click resets them. AMD and Intel users get the same three as short steps for their driver app.

Press "Remove OPTICS changes" on the Tune page, or restore any backup on the Profiles & backups page. OPTICS copies your files before every change, and restoring puts those exact bytes back.

The app isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Two PCs per licence. If you change PCs, open a ticket in the Discord and staff can reset your devices.

No refunds once the download has been used. If OPTICS doesn't work on your PC, open a ticket first: we'll try to fix it.

When a new version is out, OPTICS shows a notice. Sign in here, download the installer again and run it. Your settings, profiles and backups stay.

No. OPTICS is for Bodycam on Windows 10 and 11.

It's a separate OPTICS window on top of the game, not something inside it. Press Play Bodycam in OPTICS: it switches the game to borderless window if needed, because nothing can show over exclusive fullscreen. Right Shift opens the menu (you can change the key), and the badge shows your FPS and the gain over your own Before run. Live FPS uses Windows' graphics tracing, so Windows asks for permission once when you press Play, before the game opens.

Laptop mode plans one tier lighter and caps FPS (30 on battery, 60 plugged in), so the laptop runs cooler and holds its clock speeds instead of throttling.
