Boosting FPS & Graphics in Free Fire MAX for Smoothest Gameplay

Free Fire MAX is all about fast reflexes and quick decisions. If you're serious about performance, let’s squeeze every bit of power from LDPlayer with high FPS and the right graphics settings.

Enable 240 FPS for Ultra-Smooth Gameplay

1. Open LDPlayer and go to Settings > General Settings.
   
2. Find "Enable High FPS Mode" and turn it ON.                                                                                                                                                                 
3. Next go to the Advanced tab, set CPU cores to 4, and allocate at least 3GB of RAM (4GB for better performance if your PC has more RAM).

Note: This setting works best if your monitor supports high refresh rates. Depending on the device you have you can enable or disable the following option for better performance. 

For High-End PCs: Turn on V-Sync in the graphics settings. This helps eliminate screen tearing and delivers fluid gameplay.

For Low-End PCs: Stick to Standard FPS and use optimized graphics packs from the in-game settings. These packs adjust visual effects for better performance without sacrificing too much detail.

Special Key Mapping Setup for Free Fire MAX

LDPlayer 9 makes playing Free Fire MAX on PC smooth and intuitive with its built-in special key mapping presets. Right after installing and launching the game, the default layout gives you keyboard controls tailored for fast-paced gameplay.

Want to personalize your setup? Just click the Key Mapping icon from the sidebar. You’ll be able to:

• Reassign any key to your liking
  
  
• Drag and position on-screen buttons exactly where you want them
  
  
• Save multiple profiles to switch between different playstyles

 

Use Keyboard Macros for Pro-Level Combos

Fast movement is great, but keyboard macro commands take your control to the next level. Macros let you trigger multiple actions with a single key press, perfect for quick reflex combos. For example, you could:

• Go prone + use medikit with one key
  
  
• Crouch + open scope for faster and more accurate sniping

How to set it up:

1. Open Key Mapping, then drag the Macro button onto your screen.
   
   
2. Assign a key to trigger it.
   
   
3. Click the pencil icon to edit the macro.
   
   
4. At the top of the macro editor, enter your screen resolution.
   
   
5. Use tap commands with coordinates to perform actions like:
   
   

• • Crouch
    
    
  • Aim
    
    
  • Open medkit inventory
    
    
  • Click on specific item slots (with wait 100 commands between)

 

Once done, hold your assigned macro key to cycle through healing items or just one tap to execute multi-step actions instantly.

Reduce Recoil with Continuous Tap

Another awesome tool in the Keyboard Mapping feature is the Continuous Tap function. Place this tap control over your fire button, assign it to a key, and set the tap speed (e.g., Speed = 3). 

 

This mimics rapid individual taps, allowing you to:

• Fire semi-auto or burst weapons faster
  
  
• Lower recoil since it's not full-auto firing
  
  
• Even improve accuracy with automatic weapons like the AK

Pro Tip: Continuous Tap helps you shoot like a laser, ideal for long-range or close combat when every shot counts.
