DURANGO has a very pretty and detailed graphics. Characters, Players, NPC's, Animals, Environment and even the water flow effects are beautiful. However, not all devices have the capability to run the game on its highest settings. Here we will go in-depth on what each aspect is for and what you can do to run the game smoothly.

Please take note that in every technical device there is always a constant "Cause and Effect" with "Gain and Loss".,

Cause and Effect = For example, the higher your Resolution, FPS and Sound the more Processing power the device needs to deliver. The more processing power the more energy is used. The more energy used the hotter your device gets... thus, cause and effect.

Gain and Loss = Like the example above, you gain better graphics and gameplay quality but you lose more battery power. The same happens when you choose lower settings, you consume less energy thus gaining more gameplay time but you also lose gameplay quality.


Resolution is how good/bad the graphics quality is. Lower quality means faster performance, suitable for low specs devices. High quality means better graphics, perfect for mid-high end gaming devices.

FPS is the speed of frames in your game. 30 FPS is good enough with the fastest performance, 60FPS is better in quality but consumes more processing power.

Sound Effects/Background Sound is where you can increase or decrease the volume of both background/Environment. Higher Sound volume means more battery consumed.

Tips:

• You can change the resolution from Low to Mid to High. Low resolution is pixelated especially if your device display panel is wide. The graphics tends to get more blurred/pixelated the lower the Resolution. What you can do to lessen this blur/pixel effect is you can either choose Medium Resolution or ZOOM IN on your character while in Low Resolution, Zooming-in however you will sacrifice your character view area, which proves dangerous on certain situations.
• Battery Saver is 30 FPS while High Quality is 60 FPS. The higher the FPS the smoother the delivery of graphics but the higher the processing and power demand, the hotter your device becomes.
• You can turn off the background sound and put the effect sound at 30-50%. You can also use an earphone/headset but please be aware of your surroundings.
• I tried playing the game in portrait mode and unless you want to get a nice portrait screen shot then you should stick to a manual/locked landscape mode.
• You can cause an earthquake ingame... just shake your device! I do that all the time when i want to wake up my character Bwahahaha!

Below are sample screenshots base on their corresponding resolution settings.

HIGH Resolution Settings: Max Zoom Out

HIGH Resolution Settings: Max Zoom iN

MEDIUM Resolution Settings: Max Zoom Out

MEDIUM Resolution Settings: Max Zoom iN

LOW Resolution Settings: Max Zoom Out

LOW Resolution Settings: Max Zoom iN

First things first, if you have multiple apps running on the background then don't ever expect this game or any other 3D game to work well or on their highest settings. So if you want a smooth gameplay then please make sure that you have the minimal apps opened or running. Make sure that you also have the CURRENT version of the game, version 1.0.0 is known to have bugs during combat, mounting, etc. So please update your game client to version 1.1.0 or the latest version. The game also requires a stable internet connection.

Suggested Optimized Settings:
Resolution: Low to Medium for 5 inches or lower wide display. Medium to High for 7+

FPS: Battery Saver 30FPS is more than enough to have a smooth and good gameplay. However the graphics tends to lag when you are being attacked by 2 or more... if those are raptors or a T-REX, the last thing you will worry about is your FPS!

Portrait Mode: I keep this on Manual. Settings this on AUTO means that the game will continue to receive and monitor the data provided by your device orientation sensor. Although the sensor consumes minimal amount of processing power and energy, still it consumes.

Sound Effects: You can lower your sound effects but you need to keep it on. You can also use an earphone so that no one else in the office hears you playing DURANGO! =P

Background Sound: Background sound queues are beneficial at times, but not always needed. For example: The sound of a running water means the ocean/river is nearby...but you can also see this on your minimap. So, its up to you. Turning this OFF will consume less processing power and energy.

Now lets move on to the last part of the Confuse Me icon...

Account Number: Your account number... might be useful in terms of bug reporting? or if your character is stuck inside the tummy of a T-Rex and you need someone to pull you out?

Delete Character: This button will delete your current character, thus you will start anew. I used this a lot of times when i wanted to repeat the introduction and unstable island quest.

Leave: is like closing your account.

Credit: is the list of people who contributed to the creation of this marvelous game!

Link Account: Linking your account will secure your game data. You will be able to switch devices using the same account as long as your account is linked. Please avoid using the same account on 2 different devices at the same time.

Log Out: Logging out of the game will send you back to the login screen where you can choose from 3 different log in method. This is useful when you want to switch accounts.

Tip: Logging in using your facebook or google play account will automatically secure your game data. However, if you use the Guest log-in then you need to manually link your game to a facebook or google play account for it to secure your game data, thus enabling you to switch devices and prevents data loss.

Customer Service: Please report any bug, glitch, exploit and bad behavior players.


Tip: Customer Service is aware that a  lot of newbie players die after entering the raptors nest. The best help they can give you is a few words of wisdom... "Learn from your mistake" "Look before you Leap" and... "If you can't outrun a Raptor, don't steal a Raptors egg!". Nature at its best!
