Switching to fullscreen has ruined my performance on PC, anyone else get this issue?

[Royale with Cheese]

I was playing this game fine for a while and then realized it was in borderless fullscreen. I switched to fullscreen and suddenly my FPS has gone way down. Switching back to borderless does not fix the issue, has anyone else ran into this?

The only thing I can think of is that this game has some kind of dynamic internal resolution it was using and when I manually set the resolution it messed things up.

it could be related to the update we received, I notice some performance drop too

I could be but it was performing fine after the update until I changed the resolution which is bizarre.

Unfortunately I haven't found any fix, I just had to turn down some settings.

My theory is that the game was running at an internal resolution that was something other than my monitors native resolution (1440p) and so switching display options raised the resolution, thus tanking FPS but I can't be sure

I was able to fix it by lowering the rendering settings, from 200 to 150 approx, and I stayed at 1920 x 1080 with the graphics at maximum, returning to the comfortable resolution from before, but yes, the Reload graphics system felt very bad . Worked on that aspect, hopefully they fix it with a patch soon.

I hope my advice helps you

This update messed up my performance too. I want to know why the resolution for borderless window is set up so high...

I had the game running at 60 fps with 200% render scale and reflections, but changing the resolution messed things up. I had to lower render scale but can still use my monitors native resolution thankfully.

That's what makes me think that the game doesn't use the native resolution OOTB and perhaps has some kind of dynamic resolution going

Ran into the same issue with significantly reduced FPS after switching from borderless to fullscreen and back. No amount of fiddling with the in game settings or reinstalling fixed it. What I ended up doing that seems to have mostly restored my previous stable FPS in borderless at 200% render scale is to edit the values in ...\AppData\Local\P3R\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini. Specifically, I saw these values:

ResolutionSizeX=3840
ResolutionSizeY=2160
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1440

and changed ResolutionSizeX and ResolutionSizeY to be 2560 and 1440 (my monitor is 1440p like yours).

I do still see some smaller decreases in FPS in certain reflection-heavy places like Paulownia Mall that I don't remember having noticed previously, but for the most part it's back to the stable higher FPS it was before at 200% render scale. Hope this helps you out.

Yea I've tried that too and it didn't work unfortunately. My guess is the default resolution in borderless fullscreen was lower than the native resolution and that's why FPS seemed higher. I had 60fps with reflections on even in Paulownia Mall but it tanked after that. I ended up just disabling reflections and living with it
