The optimization of Forklift Racer is notably poor, with users reporting a sluggish average of 51 fps and significant drops to around 15 fps when enabling advanced features like lumen, even on capable hardware such as the RTX 3060 Ti. Many players feel that quality updates are necessary to improve performance and overall gameplay experience.
“Forklift racer's performance is a sluggish 51 fps, further compounding the issues in this clunky mess of a game.”
“Performance is not great; turning on Lumen takes the game to about 15 fps (using an RTX 3060 Ti), and the overall fps is not great.”
“A few quality updates to increase game performance, add new levels, and fix some rough mechanics would make this one of the best free games on Steam.”
