Cutscene Lag... REALY BAD LAG.

[Henji]

Getting terrible lags during cutscenes its killing the expirience and some times im getting that also during grab quick times from the zombies.

I dont think I can even put it as a lag, more like a total freeze of the game with just the sound in the background.

Is anyone having the same issue ? If so any fixes for this crap ?

Yea, same thing happening to me, just have to wait until the devs acknowledge it and fix it. Hopefully soon.

try this if u have an nvidia card: i only done step 2 + 3 and it works fine for me. I only get around 1-2 sec lagg if a cutscene starts or i enter a door. its not perfect but the game is playable now. Mabye it helps u aswell.

(My system: i5 4670k, gtx 760 OC, 8 GB Ram)

1.Installed GeForce iCafe 347.26 WHQL + latest DDU that supports icafe 347.26 : direct link driver: http://cn.download.nvidia.com/...
direct link latest DDU: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/D...
Install it..
2.Next i got into Nvidia Control Panel->3d settings->mange 3d settings->program settings go to "Add" and select DyingLightGame.exe and put vertical sync and triple buffering ON - save -(helps to make the game be fluid without no stutter or tearing)
PS: i know that triple buffering its for Open GL but idk how it managed to work very nice in combo with v-sync on Dying Light.
3.For those who still got some stutter/lag in the game alt+tab the game while its still on and do like this:
alt+ctr+delete-> task manager-> Right click on DyingLightGame.exe and select "go to details", now right click it again "DyingLightGame.exe" and go on "set affinity" and uncheck the latest core (in my case on i7 3770k i disabled CPU 7). Important: 2. and 3 step you have to do it while you are in the game to make it work.

4.Enjoy the game and happy gaming

good luck

Im watching TotalBiscuit right now and he mentioned about the field of view and it actualy helped a bit.

I`ll check the SlowMow steps tomorow in case it doesn`t help much, so far though its getting stable.

i died two times because of 15sec cutscene lag :(

[Monkerlotus]

yeah i just hold space in hopes to skip it completely, i have no idea whats going on in the story D:

I had the same cutscene lag. All I did to fix it was install the latest 347.25 drivers. Then use Nvida GForce Expericence to set the Dying Light game to Optimized setings. Started the game after this and there is no more lag during the cutscenes now.

See if this helps you as well.

[Nah]

your pc is too old it's not the game or developer fault that you can't buy a good pc

It's very annoying! I died couple times because of those lags.

[swi7ch]

Same.

I have all settings set to Low or OFF and every cutscene I lag like hell. My PC is well above the "recommended" specs.

my video card Gforce 750 has this problem as well, here's hoping they patch it soon

You're stupid. I've got a 3570K @ 4.5GHz, dual R9 290's, 8GB DDR3-2400 RAM, and running the game off of a 256GB Vertex 4 and this game lags like ♥♥♥♥.

You going to tell me that my PC isn't good? Huh?

So did you try what I said? Since that fixed it for me and my friend.

I tried that. It seems okay for a while, but then the cutscenes lag so bad...it's actually more like the game freezes for 30sec but still has audio. Outside of that, I can get about 60FPS, even on high settings (with lag spikes here and there).

[Bleck (Ameno)]

I have the same issue. Game runs around 45-80 FPS but sometimes goes down to 28 in areas with massive amounts of zombies.

Everytime I initiate a story cutscene, the game freeze frames for about 15-30 seconds but the cutscene still plays through audio.


If it's multiple people having this exact specific problem, then it's definitely some sort of incompatibility or issue on the developers side.
