Anyone having slowdown with full game?
I am having major problems with slowdown. Anyone else?

What graphical settings and resolution are you running on?

Seems like if I don't jack it down, it slows to a crawl. Is this how it is? Just played Doom eternal turned way up with zero issues.

me too same problem

Isn't it the city that slows down?
It is very heavy compared to dungeons, so I think it will slow down to some extent.

I had some fps drops in the farm area with all the barley, specifically while fighting. Luckily the barely straight up disappears during the tower defence game.

Mmm try not using supersampling? It could tank FPS really hard similarly to VIII

The battle of Grimmwald has a load, changing scenes, a small area and a simple background.
I think this is to avoid slowdown.

If you are playing on a laptop make sure the game is using the dedicated Nvidia GPU.

It is using the GPU

I have slowdowns in city with:

Ryzen 5800X
32GB RAM
6800XT
I was playing at my friend's PC and noticed that the game runs super smoothly everywhere except in the city. And this is weird because the city slowdown is carried to cutscenes/battles. Every time I go to battle or watch some cutscene the slowdown that the city causes is carried and it takes a few seconds to disappear. This is really weird. lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Hopefully they will release some patch to improve this. I remember how they did it in VIII which greatly improved the performance.

Small and medium-sized developers in Japan are usually not very good at optimizing their implementations for today's GPUs.

Even in the generation of pre-rendered games such as 6, Fel
gana, and Origin, the performance did not change no matter how fast the GPU was, and the only reason for that at that time was the very high CPU load.

Of course, nowadays, CPUs are very fast, so there must be another reason.

As I've said elsewhere, even on PS4, dungeons were close to 60FPS, while towns were sometimes below 30FPS.
(Especially during encounter combat).

The PC version also maintains this trend.
At today's GPUs, The quirky proportional FPS will be quite high.

I have no slowdown, but my PC use excessive GPU for this game, even the cinematic, and boss fight used more performance
I tink is not real good optimised

Durante & his team worked on the PC port. As always, they've added some things that will be overkill for most systems. I haven't grabbed YS IX yet. But he's done such great work to fix performance issues on many games prior to starting his own company. Also jumped in and improved Ys VIII.

Maybe it could use a day 1/week patch. Still, it should be a decently optimized port.

Don't crank up supersampling and you should be good
