Why is there no recommended spec for Ultra Settings, and how will adjusting my graphics settings impact my framerate?
Over the course of development, we validated the game is actually more CPU bound.
This means we have found that adjusting individual graphical settings (even on higher end GPUs) does not have the same inflection on framerate as other genres.
With this in mind, we decided not to emphasize specs for Ultra settings. We hope this does not take away from your overall enjoyment with Star Wars Zero Company.
What steps should I take if I experience a poor framerate or stuttering on the Recommended spec?
We recently removed 'native' from our PC specifications to be fully transparent ahead of launch.
As we worked to finalize the game, achieving our Recommended target (60 FPS / 1440p) is best accomplished using the game's recommended default setting: TSR or vendor upscalers DLSS/FSR. If you continue to experience issues, please visit our troubleshooting site here.

What’s the difference between Operations and Missions? What are some examples of mission types?
In each cycle you will have a chance to complete Operations and Tactical Missions at the holotable in the Den.
Both can expire, but story-critical missions will become obligatory after a period of time. Each cycle ends with a Tactical Mission selection which will deploy you and your selected squad to the mission.
Operations take place in the Galaxy Map and can yield instant rewards while adding to the narrative, or unlock additional operations and missions. Some Operations may present a dilemma and require choice (think “choose your own adventure”) and different choices may have an impact on character bonds and side missions.
Tactical Missions are the tactical layer of the game, where you will deploy a squad to complete an objective, including a small free-roam phase in story missions where you can move through the environment in third person. You can gain additional world immersion, intel points, and advantage points ahead of the combat encounter itself. Some general Mission types include…
- Sabotage
- Combat
- Rescue
- Retrieval
- Narrative missions with unique stories centered around one hero.
How does permadeath work in Star Wars Zero Company?
Permadeath is enabled by default but can be toggled off if desired. We encourage you to adjust the settings to create the best experience for yourself.
For those interested in trying permadeath in their campaigns, we feel it provides a unique experience of experiencing loss, a core theme of Star Wars, and pushing through that loss to what’s on the other side of the emotional experience.
