Anyone find out how to fix the mysterious lag?

[rjholt2000]

im sure most of you guys know about the random lag the game gets, with full fps, like the game will be fine thje first 5 minutes you open it then it will be unplayable. graphic changing doesnt work, updating graphic card reinstalling everything ive tried has not worked.

Go into your steam\userdata folder, find the folder containing Mad max savegames (it's called "remote"), select the folder, click "properties" then "Security".

Then all you need to do is to negate "Write" permissions to ALL users you find in the list.

Amazingly, the game keeps saving the game anyway, and the stutters are 100% gone.
Game is butter smooth, ZERO slowdowns ever.

And people told me to upgrade my pc, LOL.

No problems when autosaving since then.

I did both of those steps and now the game lags in much rarer instances, probably when it has to load a ton of assets when going from one area to another, maybe. Improved by at least 95% anyway.

How do you run mad max and steam as administrator?

forgive me, im relatively new to this

[★ Danceman ★]

Close Steam and than right click Steam icon and select "Run as Administrator"

[rjholt2000]

i doubt fixing this is as simple as running as administrator...after updating rahpics card and everything else i did to try to fix it i swear to god if it was this simple ill blow a fuse haha

[★ Danceman ★]

For me what fixed it was the no write wermission on the Steam Cloud files

[rjholt2000]

it didnt work much :( idk how else to fixx it

the first solution you sent me idk how to do either lol

[★ Danceman ★]

Try turn off cloud sync, right click mad max game in steam and the second tab and than the last option

I have old PC and I did this it works great for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txSLWzkZW08

I only didn't use one of the option they suggest which was ShadowsQuality=1 I think with it 0 it's just doesn't look good. Keep 1

Here's my setting file if you want to try. Copy your file first and than copy this into the settings.ini file (it's here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Mad Max)

Link I said right click Mad Max, properties, than Update tab and than on the bottom turn off Clound Sync.

You really have to start using google.

So I have tried to use this fix and I'm still having major lag issues.

I've over 20 hours of running the game on Ultra High with no issue at all!. I tried turning the graphics down to see if that would help, it didn't. Anyone else still have this issue after negating write permission for all users?

I have also tried the running offline, as administrator and turning off steam sync.

If it's Windows 10, it's for sure because of that. I'm on Win 7 and also play alot of CSGO and have no problem but almost everyone on Win10 has problems with framerates. The fix they do is turn off game bar and game dvr. Check the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip2eq3-twgY

After every win10 update they may turn it on again or change to other place (used to be in the xbox app)

Also in the past Cortana used to also give problems.

I would suggest in Windows 10 create a Gamer user and fix that user to the best performance. Turn off everything. There are many videos about the subject. Here's a recent one
