See what hides in the dark

Night lifts the dark parts of your screen, so walls, grass and anyone standing in the shadows show up. Drag the line to compare.

Normal Night

Night: the most detail in dark areas, while black stays black and white stays white.

Screenshots can't capture screen looks, so these pictures use optmzer's own colour maths on a real night shot.

Zoom on one key

Hold Mouse 5 (or any key you pick) and the middle of your screen zooms in 2x. Let go and it's back. Set it anywhere from 1.5x to 4x.

  • Spot players on far roofs and hills
  • Check a base before you run in
  • Only works while Rust is in front

Fair play: Zoom and Dark Boost only change your screen, not the game. Some servers don't allow them, so check the rules where you play.

Smooth over a 30,000-entity base

A minicopter flight over one of the biggest bases you'll see, on the Max FPS look with OBS recording at the same time. The counter in the corner is real.

Our test PC: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 5070, with Debloat and Trim background RAM done before starting Rust.

More FPS, same Rust

Drag the line. Left is Rust as it comes, right is the look you pick. Same spot, same PC (Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 5070). Your numbers depend on your PC.

Clean keeps Rust sharp: low grass, legs off, and things load in from far away without popping.

Everything in one small app

No account needed, and nothing runs in the background unless you turn it on.

FPS Boost

Checks your PC first and tells you what's holding it back, like RAM running below its rated speed or a 240 Hz screen set to 120. Then it tunes Windows for games and gives Rust three graphics looks.

  • Power plan, Game Mode, background recording
  • Rust settings backed up before every change
  • Measure your real FPS before and after

Clean Up

Shows what's taking space before you delete anything: temp files, old driver installers, crash dumps, update leftovers. Your own files, games and passwords are never touched.

Clean Up tab with sizes for each place

Colour

Screen looks that help you see in the dark, saturation up to 300% and NVIDIA Digital Vibrance. Set a different look for each game and it switches by itself.

Colour tab with looks and sliders

OBS clipping

Turns on the replay buffer, sets your clip key and quality, and splits game, mic and Discord into their own tracks. A small preview shows what OBS will look like before you apply.

Startup

Stop apps you don't need from starting with Windows. Anti-cheat, drivers and audio stay locked.

Bass Boost

A light bass lift for your headset, with an "explain it simply" mode that shows what it does.

Debloat

Turns off Windows extras you don't use. Undo brings every one of them back.

Is it safe?

optmzer changes Windows settings and settings files, the same ones you can change by hand. It never touches the game itself.

  • Never touches or injects into game files, so anti-cheat has nothing to see.
  • Every change is backed up first and undone with Restore everything.
  • Makes a Windows restore point before boosting, if you want one.
  • Updates come from inside the app and are checked against their fingerprint before they run.

Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" because the app isn't signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Questions

Can optmzer get me banned?

optmzer never touches, reads into or injects into game files, so anti-cheat has nothing to see. It changes Windows settings and Rust's own settings file, the same ones you can change by hand. Zoom and Dark Boost only change your screen, but some servers don't allow them, so check the rules where you play.

Can it break Windows?

Every change is backed up before it happens, and Restore everything puts it all back with one button. optmzer can also make a Windows restore point before boosting. It never deletes apps or your own files.

Is it free?

Clean Up, Startup, the Rust graphics looks, the OBS setup and the FPS check are free for good. Pro adds Colour looks, Zoom and Dark Boost, Bass Boost and the Windows tweaks, with 4 free days to try it.

I have a high-end PC. Do I need this?

Big PCs still lose frames to background apps, power settings and heavy graphics options. On our Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5070 test PC, the Clean look went from 127 to 150 FPS in the same spot. The FPS check measures your own numbers before and after.

Does it slow my PC down while it runs?

optmzer only runs while it's open. The Colour and Bass Boost helpers are tiny and only run when you turn them on.

Do I need an account?

No. You only need one for the Hub (friends, chat, sharing presets) and for Pro.

Why does Windows say "Windows protected your PC"?

optmzer isn't signed with a paid certificate yet, so Windows doesn't know it. Click More info, then Run anyway. You can check the file on VirusTotal with the fingerprint above.

How do I uninstall it?

Press Restore everything first if you want all changes undone, then remove optmzer in Windows Settings, Apps. Your backups stay in case you come back.
