To answer my own question, the location can be set inside of Google Maps, using a location icon below the app itself that suddenly appears in the context of Google Maps. Once you set the location in that App, it apparently stays across boots of Bluestacks and that location is apparently being used by other Apps as well. To start your adventure in Epic Seven and defeat the ancient evil once again, you must install and configure the game on BlueStacks first. As with all other gacha games, BlueStacks 4.5 offers many practical features that will make your adventure easier, such as personalized control schemes and visual macros.

Best BlueStacks Settings For Gaming On PC or Laptop 2020

Here are the best working settings of BlueStacks for gaming on PC or Laptop:

1. Low-end PC Owners

I understand that having a Low-end PC is a disadvantage when talking comes to gaming in BlueStacks 4. But here in this world, that we are living in has everything possible. So, the point is how you can play Android games using BlueStacks 4 on your Low-end PC? Well, this can be done by reducing the BlueStacks 4 quality from its settings.

#1. Reduce Aspect Ratio from Display Settings

Reducing the screen size of BlueStacks 4 will deliver you more FPS that helps your PC to run games smoother. Now you may have a question that how you can know the Aspect Ratio for your Low-end PC. Well, after looking and experimenting on a ton of factors, I come to the end that BlueStacks at 640*480 Ratio screen performs better. You can also play games on BlueStacks at 1280*720 ratio screen. But it’s not better than 640*480 screen.

So, now you know the best screen ratio for Low-end PC. Now let me show you how you can change the BlueStacks display aspect ratio.

Method 1:

1. Do right click on the BlueStacks icon.
2. Select the properties.
3. Go to the compatibility tab.
4. Checkmark the “Run in 640*480 Screen Resolution”.
5. Hit Apply and OK to save the setting.

Now, you have successfully changed the screen resolution of BlueStacks 4 to the best screen ratio for Low-end PC. If you feel the steps are a little hard to follow then you can continue reading for another method.

Method 2:

1. Start the BlueStacks app player.
2. Wait for the engine to start.
3. Go to settings from Top right.
4. In-display settings, choose a Custom size option and enter 640*480 size OR select 1280*720 screen resolution.
5. Press “Enter” and restart the BlueStacks.
6. Done.

This one is the simplest way to change the screen ratio of BlueStacks 4 to improve gaming performance. You can also reduce the DPI to 240 for the best performance. I highly recommend setting the DPI to Low. Remember, sometimes it is Un-changeable! So, try it also but at your own risk.

#2. Engine

The Engine of BlueStacks is the most powerful engine ever built for Android gaming. It built for delivering good gaming performance and it is pre-optimized by default. But still, there are options in settings to improve it too. And you should take advantage of it for improving the gaming performance of BlueStacks 4 on your Low-end PC.

Again, I experimented with many settings with the Engine settings on my Low-end PC and the outcome is so fantastic. So, optimizing the engine will overall improve the gaming performance on your Low-end PC.

Basically, there are multiple factors that you should consider while playing with Engine settings. Reducing the usage or giving fewer specs access to the engine may lead to BlueStacks failure. So, I recommend reducing it to medium or normal. In Engine settings, there are many new options like Graphics Mode, CPU and RAM allocation.

These three things can define the BlueStacks 4 performance on your PC or Laptop. So, If you have a Graphics card (integrated or external) then you can go with OpenGL setting. But if you don’t any graphics then you should go with the DirectX setting. Now, assuming the graphics section is well clear to you. Isn’t it?

Android Settings Bluestacks

Now, you have to move to the CPU and RAM allocation section. In that section, if you have a dual-core processor with at least 2 GB of RAM then you should change settings to like this:

• Core usage: 2
• Memory: 800 MB

OR

If you have 1 CPU Core and 1 GB or 1.5 GB of RAM then you should change settings to like this:

• Memory: 600 MB
• Core Usage: 1

This will give your PC a boost in BlueStacks 4 and you will be able to play games like Subway Surfer and Temple Run. Not PUBG Mobile! To play PUBG, you should allow BlueStacks 4 to use at least 3 GB of RAM and 4 Cores.

Use these settings on your Low-end PC or laptop and you will see an instant boost while playing Android games on BlueStacks 4.

Now, let me give you the best settings for a High-end PC and Medium-end PC.

#1. Display and Engine Settings for High-end PC

Medium-end PC or laptop owners have at least faith to run any Android Game that Low-end PC owners don’t have. Meaning, it will not be hard to Play Android games with BlueStacks 4 on medium-end PC.
