120fps feels like sub 60, was a problem in the Demo & it's still not fixed????

[Sangral]

How could this happen? The Demo had one of the weirdest problems I ever noticed on our gaming PC and that was that 120fps felt HORRIBLE, like sub 60fps, literally that's the best description, and this is still not fixed? How could they release it like this? I am shocked, to be honest. I understand if it just has normal performance problems, but it's not that, it's a super weird issue that even if you get it to run at 120 or 100, it still feels like 40 or worse, something is extremely messed up here, this is not even early access release ready.

I only played the demo, but I do know the issue you're talking about. How ever, I noticed messing with freesync/gsync made a difference, for me anyway, why? No idea.

[Sirbum69]

Mine is sitting at 165 fps and seems just fine to me, Really think what you are saying is subjective in that it may feel off to you but is playing just fine.

For some people the screen is locked at 60hz.
So no matter how many FPS you get, the game will feel choppy.
Some cap the games FPS to 60 to ensure it runs smooth. I managed to 'unlock' my screen to run at full hz.

It's likely an issue with the game running in borderless window mode.

Wouldnt it be relevant to mention how you solved the issue?

I tried a lot of stuff and can't fully say what solved it and if it is applicable the same way. Nor if some other custom setting I have in my driver is affecting it.

I made a post about it an hour ago. For me what helped was ensuring the my screen was locked to 144hz before starting the game. Vsync disabled, G-sync disabled.
Then when I got smooth 144hz in game I enabled G-Sync again and now the game is running at >100 FPS with the screen applying G-Sync properly dynamically adjusting the refresh rate.

It's not that, even 60 doesn't feel like 60.

The crazy part, in the character creation in the main menu, that's where it is BUTTERY smooth 120fps, no problems, no weird camera stuttering, nothing. If you turn the camera there, it is how it should be.
I think even in the inventory ingame it's smooth, just the game itself feels super stuttery no matter what FPS you get. It's so weird.

I've seen a lot of people talking about that when the demo was around.

I have the same problem, I don't know how to fix it

[Ghastous™]

yeh same issue im getting 90fps but the game feels like its running at a sub par 30fps. Refunded till they sort that crap out.

[DrEnough]

Well, I tried the game but it was hurting my eyes soo much that I had to ask for refund .. I've downloaded the latest GPU driver which claims that it supports this game but that didnt help .. I went into NVIDIA Control Panel to set it up there, it worked, I had 144 FPS but it felt like 50 - 60 FPS and my eyes .... I'm playing on 2K monitor (G-sync) with GTX 4080, i7 13700k and 32GB of DDR5 6000. I didnt have any FPS drops .. well only when I openned map and zoomed out, FPS went from 144 to 55. But in this state, I cant play it.

Hi guys, so I just resolved this one by somewhat following someone else fix in this post. Here's the steps I undertook:

1. Close game
2 disable gsync
2. set monitor refresh rate to 60
2. enable gsync
3. set monitor refresh rate to 60 again
4. Start game
5. turn on vsync in game

The game now runs smoothly (albeit at 60fps). You can probably achieve this in less steps but that's exactly what I did after reading through this post.

I mean .. sure, if 60 FPS (Hz) is fine for your eyes, then it's good but I've been using 144Hz monitors for many years and I can't say that 60 FPS (Hz) is smooth for any eyes tbh.

I've been using a 165hz monitor for years mate, this is a potential workaround for those wanting to play the game minus stuttering/fps drops on machines capable of hitting decent frame rates. I capped the fps initially (workaround provided by devs) and although my in game frames stated 60, they were evidently lower (that's the issue). I instead applied the above fix and the game is at least playable now

[Snusmumriken]

It's a known issue and the devs are working on a solution.

[GIO_SER]

I also have a 165Hz monitor, I'm used to smooth gameplay in games, but this game behaves strangely. I did what is written above and it helped, although only 60 fps. But the paradox is that this game looks better at 60 fps than at 165 fps. Thanks to the author of the post above!

I want to confirm for my setup the 7800XT AMD Graphics with latest drivers, and 5GHz I9 1100K with 32GB Ram and 16GB Video RAM...that indeed this fix works to alleviate what appears to be most of the "uncomfortability" of the camera/turning...I did exactly as described but enabled AMD Freesync Premium instead of GSYNC...and indeed the game "feels" more correct, yes it's now cap'd at 60 FPS, but it don't have that "off" feeling that something is just wrong with the framerate. Until an official fix is released, this is as good as it's going to get I suppose.
