Game is lagging even at lowest settings

[julia.szkolak]

For starters I opened the game and i got a pop up with a fatal error. Then after alunching it again it was so laggy that changing setttings took ages and even when i managed to get it to low resolution that lag wasn't fixed or got any better. Is anyone else having this issue?

[Iris_Von_Everec]

yeah i got the same problem, the lowest graphics look like a game a week into the development and it's still not stable. there is no middle ground of looking okay and fps because anything outside of cinematic is just straight up UGLY and also laggy??

[wakeywakey]

im sure they will take care of it in the future patches so you could wait for a bit and see if they do anything

op: no game work fine if you change some settings (and of course have the requested hardware and vram)

Just beware for the second slider it's IT xwho ruins the performance but also made the game CELEARLY blurry.

I suggest either mix first slider and second or use motion blur for limit it.

The first will be better but more costly

No problem personally with an rtx 3090 FE you can go at 70% in second slider with 100% first slider for definition of the picture (in my case native 4k)

You can also put everything in high (pretty game doesn't scale at all above mediu/high in best case scenario) avoid of course AA if you play in 4k (same for motion blur)

I have an 9900K and judging it's a UE5 game i was surprise it can keep up when you know the need for very high ST performance on THIS engine (same goes for vram)

just refund until they fix it

No problems on my system. Highest settings. No crashes. (Not kidding.)

I feel for the people who can’t run this game, but ya’ll buying this on the hopes that it’ll run just as good as 2015’s original LiS game are going to be severely disappointed.

You guys need to AT LEAST meet the minimum requirements. The people who don’t and are scratching their heads and wondering why really need to do their due diligence before purchasing.

Your CPU/GPU combos — especially if integrated — are not going to run this game well or at all. Many of you are probably running out of vRam right on the title screen once it’s done rendering it.

Anything under 30 FPS is going to feel “laggy,” and if you are over 30 FPS and are “lagging” or your game looks like a slide show, it’s because you hit your vRam wall.

Dude, I've got a 2080 TI. It's not top of the line, sure. But it's insane I can't run this game well on medium settings.

The game looks good, but it does not look good enough to be the very first game that my 2080 TI fails to make playable.

The weird thing is that medium settings didn't even help. The game runs essentially fine for a few minutes, and then for 45 seconds or so it'll be so choppy I can't even control it. Like literally down to 1 frame a second or less, sometimes pausing on a single frame for several seconds before continuing. Literally impossible to control in these states. For 30-45 seconds, I won't even be able to aim the camera because barely touching the controls will cause the camera to jump to one extreme direction or the other, as the game struggles to keep up. In a cutscene, I'll hear 2 or 3 characters finish their lines while the game is stuck one-frame-at-a-time struggling through the very first animation of the first character opening their mouth.

And then it'll resolve and it'll play buttery smooth for a few minutes.

At first I thought it was happening during scene changes, but it can easily happen in a scene that's already loaded. I can spin the camera around myself quite smoothly and jog in circles for a few minutes, and then suddenly hit some kind of wall where the framerate falls to 1-2 FPS (or less). After 30-45 seconds it'll get better and the game will go back to normal.

It's not normal behavior. It's not even just "bad optimization," because sometimes the game plays great.

Something just straight out wrong is happening, somewhere.

It's not bad optimization. it's Denuvo that's hurting the performance of the game

first question: do you actually own the game?

No-one actually owns the game except Square Enix. What people own is a limited license to have the opportunity to try running a copy of the game until and unless Square Enix decide at their own discretion to revoke that license.

it would be funny :) they says min req is gtx 960 but i dont think even in that graphic card anyone can acheive 10 fps . 1650super cant handle all low to max 30 fps

[Snake]

i7 6600 gtx 1080 and its laggy on medium.. Need a beefy machine to enjoy this one.

[Anas]

bro it lags on my 3090 and 7 7700X

Launch settings, "-dx12" fixed every stutter for me on the High preset, cinematic just isn't feasible without some form of frame generation.

You'll still get lower fps though so I recommend still using lossless scaling.

I have a RTX 4070 Super and Ryzen 7 5800XT, game just isn't well optimized at all on pc unfortunately.

The game certainly isn't a stellar performer, and it isn't one of the best-optimized games out there, but I didn't notice any of your issues despite having very similar graphics. To me, it sounds rather like your processor and eventually your SSD are bottlenecking. I played it with default (most were on high) settings; the FPS were jumping up or down sometimes, but no lags like you were describing.

The last time I saw such behavior was when I was testing Lost Records on a 2009 Intel Core i7-860, Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti, and SATA II SSD.
