Very slow gameplay

[Arachow]

I see no information on this and am wondering why it's only me having this problem. Basically the game runs very slowly and I have no idea why. I am running it on a 64-bit Windows 7 with an AMD Radeon HD 6900M graphics card and Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 Core(s) processor

If you're online that's what the netcode does for lag. If not.... idk

No it's every game mode

i run a similar system and have no issues at all. This game doesnt require alot of resources to run. Try switching between window and full screen and also see if turning vsync on/off helps.

Resolution doesn't seem to matter. I don't see an option for turning off vsync where is that?

Vsync from your graphic card's software

You've your input delay set too low for your opponent. Go into network settings under the options menu.

If you feel like you're playing underwater, that's the solution. The game should always run at vsync'd 60 FPS. No more, no less. Fighting game inputs don't work properly if you can't keep a set 60 FPS.

I am having the exact same problem, I have been playing KOF games since forever, so if there is any slight slow down I can feel it right away. the game runs like its slowed down, air time feels weird, movements are all 0.2second out of response and I am running on a good PC...... help

I discovered a solution. I had to decrease the resolution of my computer in the control panel and then start the game. After that the game can handle any resolution I throw at it for some reason. Hope this helps others

Laptops/Notebooks tend to have a very low performance in games. KoF2002um isn't exactly an old game, the steam version is actually a port from the XBox version.

Overall, notebooks are usually really really bad.

This game doesn't have anything like Dynamic Lightings, Dynamic Shadow or Dynamic Particles that you would usually turn it off to achieve performance increase.

Also, try turning off v-sync, double buffer and tripple buffer off as well. There's something else you can try, but im not sure it will look great:

If Im not mistaken all Ported versions of King Of Fighter on Steam(except kof13) runs at 30Fps, so your GPU usually has both v-sync on and runs at speeds greater than 60FPS by DEFAULT.

So here's the deal:
1 - Get MSI Afterburner installed on your laptop
2 - Start RivaTuner Statistics Server
3 - Set your Frame Limit to 30FPS

That way your GPU will work less, therefore giving off more performance. This also works for 60Fps games, you'll still get the performance increase, but you'll lose 30 frames of animation.

If this doesn't work, then there isn't much you can do.

Alukard, turn v-sync off, double-buffer and tripple buffer off as well - They're all v-sync technologies by the way, if you have one of then turned ON, v-sync will be active as well.

Thing is v-sync gives you huge input-delay, which is bad for games that requries reaction, timing and precision.

Animation looks MUCH SMOOTHER with v-sync on though. But it gives off huge input-delay. Anyways, you shouldn't notice much difference on 30Fps games though by having it ON, so just turn it off anyways.

[Xaks32]

Also, don't play the game in windowed mode, because Windows Theme(Both Classic & Aero) simply overrides some of your GPU Driver Options, this includes v-sync, anti-alias and bloom amongst others... all of them give you input-delay regardless of how much FPS you're getting.

And depending on your machine it can cause your game to get even lower FPS.

This worked for me. Thanks for sharing.
