Performance/Graphic issues

[Wilaton]

Playing shantae on 1440p with an overclocked 1080GTX
The graphics look very low-res, and Im getting a less than spectacular framerate (I tried running the game in both the 32BIT and the 64BIT mode).
Is this getting fixed soon? Or does anyone have a solution to this problem?

my game just crashes if i try and adjust the resolution in 64 bit mode >:(

I'm running on a high end rig like the OP & you need to make sure your monitor is running at 60hz via Nvidia CP to get 60fps. Set to higher hz & it runs at 30 or so fps. Not seen any screen tearing but then I have G-sync so wouldn't know anyway. 64bit mode is better as you can change resolution in game without a restart.

For some reason, the game doesn't seem to ever go above 22 fps for me, no matter the settings. Dunno if the issue will be solved when I get a graphics card, but I'm looking for any solution I can to no avail

GTX 970 and Gsync monitor here, the game feels like a slideshow even though Steam reports 60fps. Disabled Gsync and the results are the same. Something isn't working right somewhere. I can play Pirate's Curse and Mighty Switch Force at 60fps and it feels much smoother than this.

As an example, I couldn't tell the platforms on Main Street were ready to move because the screen shake from explosions at low fps made it impossible to notice the blocks shaking, so it was up to pure timing to get by.

I understand the lowish-res visuals but it should at least be quite smooth gameplay. The game just feels janky and it makes everything much harder to take in. Will hope for a fix.

I have a Radeon R9 390X running at 3840x2160, Windows 10, Crimson 16.12.1. No problems. Runs flawless.

Are your graphics drivers up-to-date? Do you have any odd global graphic setting? Based on interactions, this game appears to run in fullscreen-bordless-window mode.

Now thinking about it, the game does have an Anti-Aliasing option for Yes, No, and Dynamic. Do you have settings in Nvidia's drivers set to override in-game settings globally?

I'm getting a pretty low framerate, going around 30 and often going up and down to around 50. The framerate keeps switching constantly and as a result the game looks choppy and it's pretty awful. Using latest Nvidia drivers, got a 144Hz monitor. Also tried 64-bit DX11, didn't fix the issue.

Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.50GHz
16GB RAM DDR3 @ 933MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (MSI)

After I tried setting the screen refresh rate on Windows to 60Hz, it fixed the framerate issue in the game. I hope a patch is planned so this is not a required step. Setting it to 60Hz also makes the colors washed out on my monitor, so it looks worse.

I'm playing with a 960M at 1080p. No FPS issues--constant 60 for me--but atrocious screen tearing even after forcing VSYNC on in the Nvidia Control Panel.

I'm playing on a laptop, on a GTX 960, and the game has massive diagonal screen tearing, is locked to 320x200, crashes when changing resolution, crashes when forcing windowed with alt+enter, and crashes when alt+tabbing out. Forcing on Vsync and Triple Buffering through Nvidea causes the framrate to drop below 20 fps.

All my specs match or are above the recommended specs, so I'm hopeing the patch will make the game run better.

I have a GTX 960m and was having the same issues as you guys. I, kind of, fixed it. I'm not 100% on the steps as I was pretty much just doing random stuff but below is what I *think* I did.

1) Loaded up the game using the icon on my desktop.
2) Went to the settings in game and changed the resolution to 1920x1080 but DIDN'T press apply just yet.
3) Went down to apply and hit enter. You get a dialogue box saying the game will need to restart. Highlighted "Yes" but didn't press it just yet.
4) Hit Alt+Enter to enter windowed mode. Screen froze, but there was still music so I knew the game was still running. Then I hit enter to make the game restart.
5) Game restarted, I shut it down.
6) Went to Steam and clicked play on the game from my library rather than from the icon on my desktop. Steam asked if I wanted to play Shantae or Shantae 64bit DX11, so I selected the 64bit DX11 version.
7) Game loaded up, had saved my 1920x1080 settings and worked fine. This got rid of the screen tearing and also put the game at the right resolution.

The only drawback is that my start bar at the bottom of my screen is still visible and cuts off a tiny bit of the bottom of the game screen, but not to the point it would interfere with gameplay. There are also black bars at the sides of the screen, but the whole game is shown.

It's not an elegant or pretty solution but for me it worked and I was getting a smooth 60fps with no screen tearing. Hopefully that can tide you over until (if) a patch is released to fix it.

I have awful diagonal screen tearing on a 960M. This isn't the first game I've encountered this with and believe it has something to do with Nvidia's mobile line. If you can't stand the screen tearing go to the control panel and set the application so it runs on integrated graphics rather than your video card. There is a good chance of a performance drop for obvious reasons, but depending on your system specifications you still may be able to run the game just fine. If you do this the tearing should go away.

So I put a 750 ti into my system, no improvement. Game is still capped at 22 fps and the graphic settings are kinda messed up.

[Envee]

Im actually getting screen tearing in the upper left of my screen.

Wayforward, hope you're reading all this. Graphics bugs need to be fixed.

P.S. a way to cap framrate would be nice. My computer runs a Intel 520 HD graphics, but the screen only refreshes at 60hz. I'm halting my playthrough until this gets worked out. Extremley dissapointed.

[Raven]

So I managed to fix it, I went into Nvidia Control Panel and set the screen to 1080p 60Hz (for some reason, outside of games it was set to 1080i/29Hz). That completely solved it.

[Reynard Fulvipes]

It seems for me (GTX 980M on a G-Sync display running at 75 Hz) the problem is the game doesn't like the 75 Hz.

I went into display settings, created a custom resolution of my panel's native resolution but with a 60 Hz refresh rate and I seem to be getting good performance.

[Spear]

I fixed all the screen tearing and fps issues by right-clicking on the game then properties, and then compatibility, just disable display scaling on high DPI settings, it will fix most of the errors trust me

That's strange. I have a GTX 960, and playing it in 32 o 64 bit mode runs solid 60 no stuttering or some weird stuff, runs how it should run.
