Frames drops during cinematics or conversation??

[Jus de Bouteille]

Hi, i've been playing for a bit now since yesterday and the game runs flawlessly in ultra and looks fantastic, but for some reason every time a cinematic starts or if i start a conversation with an npc the game drops to 40 to 30 fps when it was running in 120 fps just a second before that.

Is there any solution?

Are you using a Dualsense controller wirelessly? Having one attached currently seems to cap your FPS at 30. The solution is to disconnect it or connect it wired.

I have no controller and cutscenes are nearly unwatchable with multiple characters onscreen, its just the game, nothing else

It’s not happening here so something must be causing it

I am having the same exact issue. I stopped using my dualsense (using an xbox series controller wirelessly) and the issue persists.

Same thing happens to me solid 60fps in gameplay but cutscenes drop to 25 sometimes

[ZunZunRun]

Same here, gameplay at 130 fps then drops at 50 during cutscenes

I do have a dualsense controller but it's wired, the battery of my controller is dead so they would be no way for me to use wireless so the issue is not here for me

What are your specs?

facts!
or use ds4windows and emulate a ds4 controller. you will loose all the fancy haptics but gain fps back.

there was a bunch of threads talking about this yesterday. few fixes were found, but seems to be hardware dependent. most of us with this issue were running older series GPUs (20s and 30s), which are fine, but that seemed to be the common denominator. here's the mashup of what fixed it for me.

lower your settings. i can run the game fine on higher settings, but the cutscenes were dropping, so I lowered the preset to medium which mostly fixed the cutscenes, then increased a few things i wanted. (games looks completely fine on medium, not a major visual loss at all)

turn off chromatic aberrations
turn off lens flare
lower sharpness to 0

double check you're running the latest graphics driver.

restart computer.

all of these changes in settings helped my cutscene fps a lot, but the RESTART was the most important. since restarting my comp, its been buttery smooth since.

Had the same issue, turn OFF Reflex and Frame Generation if you have them ON. Fixed the issue for me.

Just not cut scenes I'm getting drops to 25 fps during gameplay then it pops up back to 70 and 80 to 100 fps I'm on low settings on a 3060 game needs fix on fps

I'd say it's pretty normal. This game seems to prerender a lot of cutscenes with it's gaming engine. My guess is that the unloading and loading of the world is causing frame problems, since the Playstation never had the ability of such high frame rates compared to running at a console pace of 30/60 (PS4 / PS4pro & PS5)
