Horrible FPS?

[Sayaka Miki]

I have to say I'm very disappointed by this console port. I've been waiting for this release since 2009, only to find out it's unplayable, at 10fps everytime there's action.

I'm on a E8400 and ATI 4870, Which should be more than enough for a 2009 game.

Edit:
Also I forgot to mention, Audio is sounding weird. Sometimes its' incredibly low quallity, Sometimes stuff that are suppouse to be 3D positioned are just played like they are infront of my face.

I have an ATI 7770, E7500 processor and 8 Gb RAM, and I am also experiencing low performance in some places. I wouldn't say 10 fps, but it drops to 20 sometimes. I was hoping that my computer could run it fairly easily, at least constant 40 or 50 fps.

I wish I could set this game to limit frames because its clear that I spike when I play only to have it immediately bomb again for no reason. Consistency is better than e penis stroking for 100+ Not that you can see them unless your refresh rate can support it.

Even with draw distance on minimum, it's horrible. I've rage quit after having 8fps in a fight.

Enable vsync, and triple buffering at the driver level. It will smooth things out some. That said, there are definitely some optimization issues at this point, for EVERYONE.

We actually added a lot of additional features to take advantage of a modern PC. It's not a straight port of the console version.

Have you tried playing with the graphical options or resolution at all? If so, which ones? Usually the ones that help the most are setting AA to FXAA (SSAA is very expensive), turning off HiFi Sim in the Game Options, and running at a lower resolution.

SSAA is a very expensive type of anti-aliasing and requires your GPU to push many more pixels. It basically renders the game at double or quadruple the size of the screen and then scales it down. We definitely recommend only turning that on if you have a GPU that can support it.

There are far too many people having these weird FPS spikes and drops for it to be settings on our end. I have a very robust SLi rig, with brand new cards and can run max or near max settings on every other game I own, but this one.

<sigh> It looks like someone put the minim specs as teh recommended :P

Well that's weird, I'm running this game incredibely well, and my pc isn't that great!

There's a difference between consistently low FPS (like the OP) and hitches/spikes. The latter is more likely something for us to work on, but the former is more likely to be system specific.

For anyone seeing spikes in their frame rate, could you try pressing ctrl-home (home, the key above the end key) and let us know how that affects your frame rate?

Ctrl-home toggles interpolated rendering. There's also a checkbox in the game controls to toggle hi-fi sim (which simulates at 60 Hz instead of 30 Hz), but I suspect that the interpolated rendering might be an issue for some people. If anyone seeing a stuttering frame rate could press ctrl-home and let us know the results, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just tried it with Vsync on - Hi-Fi Sim unticked and then pressed Ctrl-Home and my FPS dropped from 60 to 50. I still stutter, so I ctrl-Home again and my FPS goes back to 60 but still continues to stutter.

Just another note, when I load the game up, it runs smooth but when I pause and go back into the game it stutters and I have to quit out the game and reload and never access the pause menu. This doesn't always happen though, so...
