Extreme lag at 1920x1080?

[Klecktacular]

I can play just fine at 60fps at any lower resolution, but when I set it to 1920x1080 everything slows down to ~10fps, even the menus. Is this a common problem? I understand there are a lot of resolution gripes, but I haven't read much about this particular issue.

Turns out restarting the game while it was set to 1920x1080 reset whatever bug was causing it to lag, but thanks for your kind feedback, friend

i imagine it has set you at 24hz in fullscreen, just like myself and many others...........its very damn annoying . the game detects the first refresh rate and on most modrn HDTVs via HDMI its 24hz meand 24 fps hence the slow laggy gameplay......KONAMI please fix it FFS this is schoolboy stuff, we dont all like to play in windowed mode while we watch hentai!!!!!!!!!

I'm having similar issues last night. Even the menus lag and the FPS is low when I'm playing the game at 1920x1080 on LOW settings.

My computer is an Alienware M17X R4
-Intel i7-3820QM Proc (3.7ghz)
-16gb ram
-NVidia 660M GTX 2gb


It has no problem play Assassin's Creed Black Flag at highest settings. Not sure if this game is just not coded well or way more intense graphics wise. Will fiddle around a bit more with it tonight and see if I can tweak it somehow.

its the game mate, they messed up the resolution detection, its literally selecting the wrong refresh rate. untill they patch it or you use a screen that doesnt have 24hz support then nothing we can do or use a bordeless window hack but that seems to deativate vsync so you get tearing.

cant win!!

Blegh... Seriously? Wow. That's lame how the hell did ths get out the door with that kind of crap?

I play on my laptop with 1920 x 1080 pixels and the graphics settings are almost all on high, with the exception of MSA or whatever it´s called now. This would be the extreme of otherwise lag.

If you turn the MSA value further down you realize that the lag it is becoming less.

My System:

Win 8.1
i7- 4702MQ
32 GB RAM
gtx 760M 2 GB VRAM

[Silvercloak]

MSA value? Is that inside the game? I'll check...

[Dfactor]

I think he meant MSAA.

[Fenris 89]

Yes, i mean MSAA.

Awesome, I'll give that a shot. My laptop screen is at 60hz so it shouldn't be affected by what previous commenters were saying.

I had the same issue until I went to windowed mode, then it jumps to a solid 60 FPS.

The funny thing is, after you play for a while in windowed mode, you can go back to fullscreen and it will stay at 60 FPS.

Try this fix, set a custom resolution to 1920x1080 @60Hz in your graphics control panel.

If you still are having issues, try 1920x1079 @60Hz.

This should force the game to detect your refresh rate correctly.

It means your computer sucks ♥♥♥♥ and you should either
A. Get new parts
B. buy a new computer
C. kill yourself because its 2014 and you still have a ♥♥♥♥ computer

Come on man, don't just pointlessly spew vile. Doesn't help people and no one will respect you.

So I turned off Multisampling and that didn't help much. Dropped the resolution down to 1280x720, turned off blur and set shadows to low and now it seems alot smoother. It was SO bad the menus were slowly crossing my screen.

My laptop SHOULD handle this at high settings, hell AC4 handles just fine. I don't know what it is... Eh. At least it's working good now.

[handicapable♿]

I don't have this issue even with msaa on. Dont know what to tell you

[Silvercloak]

Yeah, i dunno, maybe your video card is THAT much better than mine. I mean my alienware is 1.5 years old so... I dunno. I just miss out on a little eye candy. Oh well. :(

God, people, please. It's being discussed EVERYWHERE.
Doesn't hurt to read a bit around before asking the same question everyone and their mom is asking.

The game locks to 24 FPS when playing fullscreen in full HD on a display that's connected via HDMI.

I'll bet my dog's crap that your PC's monitor is hooked up via HDMI.

Use fullscreenizer while you wait for a proper solution.
