ULTRA Laggy (Unplayable)

[radbananas]

Lagging by a full second even on the main menu. Tried setting all graphics to low. Did not fix the issue, just made everything in game look extra garbage AND laggy asf. Messed around with many different settings. Nothing helped. Unplayable in the game, even (again) with everything set on low. Really?

Windows OS Version: Windows 11 Home ver 22631.4317
CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
GPU Model: AMD Radeon Graphics
RAM: 16 GB RAM

Don't Nod didn't make this. Don't Nod wouldn't do their own charas and fans dirty like this... Don't Nod is taking more time to work on THEIR game, because Deck Nine/SE decided to announce Double Exposure AFTER Don't Nod had already announced Lost Records.

Regardless, if they're gonna put such a pricy sticker on it, at least let this garbage run at a basic level. Or like, idk, fix the remasters that are STILL buggy...

Hi, yes I downloaded the patch, and while it did improve the incredible lag and clippiness, it certainly did not fully fix the issue. I still experience lag on the main menu, the settings menus, and certainly in game.

Have you tried disabling any antivirus whilst playing that may be affecting game files, a fresh install, checking your drivers are up to date?

[JoshuaSquareEnix]

If still facing issue, it would be good to confirm if you have an integrated GPU or a dedicated GPU.

Getting a DXDIAG would be great also!

If you want to try the easiest way to find this information, it would be:

Right-click on empty part of Taskbar.
Select Task Manager.
In Task Manager, on the left, select Performance.
Scroll down to GPU.
They may have GPU 0, or GPU 0 and GPU 1. We would need the name of the GPU listed either under the GPU heading or on the top right, and for both GPU 0 and GPU 1 if you have them.

Here's another way.
Click on the Windows icon to open the Start Menu.
Type dxdiag
You should see a blue and yellow X icon. Click it.
Click Yes to any popup prompts.
Once loaded, look for tabs called "Display". There may be one, two, or more.
Select one and tell us what is written next to the "Name:" label.
If you have more Display tabs tell us what is next to "Name:" on those as well.

I only have GPU 0, AMD Radeon Graphics. DXDIAG says no problems found

[radbananas]

I tried disabling my antivirus, but it didn't change anything. Neither did a fresh install. All my drivers are up to date

i have the same issue since the update it got worst for me but hopefully it gets fixed soon so i can enjoy the early access

Joshua is being excellent trying to help you, but the sad fact of the matter is, your device just isn’t powerful enough to run this game.

You are also likely running out of vRam (video ram. Not regular ram) right after launching and rendering the title screen.

If you do not at least meet minimum requirements, you will either A), not be able to play the game at all, or B) have an extremely miserable experience (everything on low, lowering the rendering resolution, etc).

If you have a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, I’d recommend playing the game there.

"System Requirements
Minimum:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows® 10 / 11 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 / AMD FX-6300
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, 4 GB / AMD"

I'm running:
A 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows® 11 64-bit
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon

Does this not surpass the minimum system requirements?

I do not own a PS5 or an Xbox, I own this $2,000 gaming laptop. I also don't want to pay another $100 on this game.

So I have a i5-12400F and a GTX 970, as well as 64 GB of RAM.

I am expericing the exact same issues.

I've downloaded the patch, but I'm not seeing any differences.

It depends on what “AMD Radeon” is. Is that all it says? You are likely good on everything but that — if it’s integrated like I suspect.

Could you google the make/model of your laptop and give us more information on it?

Your card sadly only has 4GB vRam. This is very likely your issue and with it being so old as well.

If that genuinely is the issue, then why in the world is the minimum specs the GTX960, which if memory serves is 2GB vRAM? EDIT: I see that the min specs are a GTX960 with 4GB. Regardless, I maintain that the game should not be crashing on a system with the minimum specs for graphics (and above that in RAM and CPU).
