Game started to go slow-mo ...

[Fast]

Any fix?

It was fine all day yesterday and this morning - just switched it back on...ultra slow mo. low frames.
Tried restart and verify files, I have changed nothing.

edit :Fixed by deleting shader cache in appdata/ // local
edit 2 : cancel that its only temporary it reverts shortly after. game is broken and fked.

If anyone finds it useful i documented our issue on a video
this might be related to the other capped low fps problems but im not sure whats really the science behind it, just our specific trigger

Yes this shows directly the problem many have i have it with 2 diffrent systems both with windows 10

i7-10750h
Rtx 3070
32 gb ram ddr4
M.v2 ssd samsung evo 970 1 tb

nvidia driver: 561.09

Also i tested it with my other pc with an:

amd ryzen 7 7800X3D
Rx 7900 XTX
32 gb ram ddr5
M.v 2 ssd samsung evo 980 1 tb

AMD Radeon 24.8.1 WHQL

That has also the newst amd driver and both systems have 32 gb ram and both on windows 10 with 64 bit version also all drivers
are up to date and both systems get the fps lock at 18+ after playing for a while.

we found out that switching eikons makes your game cap itself to 15 fps
in case anyone finds it useful, theres a video explaining it
got some people confirming its not a coincidence

Windows key+ D is the developer command to force close denuvo in game

Win+D just shows the desktop though.

It honestly sounds like a VRAM issue, i.e. you are running out VRAM, so the game uses the system RAM or the SSD instead to stream data.

If you run GPU-Z in the background or open the overlay of your GPU drivers while playing, then you can see if you are running out of VRAM. That would honestly be a problem that needs to be patched by SE. Lowering graphics settings could work as a temporary fix though.

But that would cause a huge framerate drop not a slowdown... But well, this game doesn't seem like a technical masterpiece so it's very plausible that the issues are related to directsotrage data streaming and vram filling.

The former leads to the latter, does it not?

It is actually an excellent port. Only a few people are having problems. The forum would be a warzone otherwise.

There are still some hiccups. SE will work them out eventually.

I've been monitoring my 4090 VRAM and it's only at like 50% usage before and after it happens. GPU usage drops from near max to under 40%.

does it go slowmo during combat ?

[Kriss Hietala]

I won't say it's an excellent port when most of the threads here are about bugs and performance issues :D

Please join in reporting this issue if you're having the fps drop + slow mo bug a few min after switching Eikons.

The remake of Front mission 2 too is still plagued with bug !

[Satori]

finally was just happy with my settings/performance and then suddenly frames started dropping and was wondering why. This seems legit.
So gotta stop playing thil its fixed it seems... FFS was rly loving the game...

MAJOR UPDATE: A fix was found on Reddit that I can confirm worked for me. Essentially you need to enable the Chroma app for FFXVI in Razer Synapse.

I had indeed disabled the connection a couple hours into the game because I was annoyed that only 1/3 of my keyboard had static lighting when enabled. My speculation is that the bug is triggered when FFXVI is unable to communicate with Razer, and everything goes haywire after that

the fast travel is the issues for me, i think is broken after 1/2 times, pay attention to this, please report your experience to the support center , maybe SE fix this issues
