WARDOGS System Requirements: What Your PC Needs
Updated 2026-09-25
On this page
WARDOGS is a 100-player MMO with vehicles, helicopters, and large maps — it is heavier than a typical shooter.
Community-reported performance notes
From launch-window player threads:
- No DLSS at launch — players requesting it in the forums; upscale options are limited, so native resolution headroom matters
- Settings not saving for some players — a known launch bug, see the settings guide
- WD-L020 crash is tied to a specific Windows update (KB5124010) — the crash fix page has the official removal steps
- Severe issues (full system restarts, Kernel-Power 41) have been reported on some rigs — treat minimum specs as genuinely minimum for a 100-player match
