In this thread I will share with you what I do to make my game run smoother, let me know if these work for you, or share something you do instead :D

1- Right-click sexyhiking.exe> Properties> Compatability> Compatability Mode> tick the box and select Windows 7

This solves the game freezing when loading a new level.

2- Open the game, press F4 to make it windowed and F4 again for fullscreen.

For some reason this makes the game smoother. I honestly didn't like it at first because I was used to playing with lag but it grew on me. But it also causes one noticable minor issue; upon finishing the game it asks "Wanna see the reward!?", that box is completely gone. If you can't live without it, here's how to fix, It comes back if you watch the whole credits :D

Every computer is different. Something that works for me might not work for you or the reverse. I play on a Windows 10 laptop(MSI PL62-7RC). It's specs are Intel 7th gen CPU(7300HQ), Nvidia GPU(MX150), 8 GB RAM(DDR4-2400), 1 TB HDD(5400 RPM).

That's all. Hope this helps you and feel free to ask me questions.
