Running very slowly on Surface Pro 3 i7

[greenhippo]

I am amazed of this wonderful game and its beautiful artworks, but I have one big problem...


Unfortunately the game is running very slow in ALL resolutions, from lowest to highest...
Totally smooth, but like... underwater.

I'm using Microsoft Surface Pro 3, i7 with Intel HD 5000 Graphics.


On youtube I have seen this game being played on HD 4400 or 4600 so I think that 5000 should be strong enough as well... Or not?

Does someone have an idea?

I'm baffled here. Are you saying you have seen the game run with integrated graphics? I can not imageine that being the case. Feel free to prove me wrong though.

The Intel HD 5000 in the Surface Pro 3 is a mobile version of the chipset. Mobile versions are inferior to their desktop counterparts. So that's why you're encountering issues.
Also, it's really crazy to want to play a graphics heavy game like this on a tablet dude.

Those might be a hoax, i dont know. But at least the title/description says that HD Graphics 4000.

I think they use a mobile chipset too, even a weaker one....

I find it not so crazy at all, after I was able to play Portal 2 in High-Def and High Setting on the same device...
Is Ori so hungry? :D

Edit:

I started MSI Afterburner to read the FPS while playing.
At my Setting (1280/*720) I get around 48 FPS, Vertical Sync turned on.
So i guess it should run on normal speed. But it doesnt...

Strange thing: After some time of playing, the game starts to run almost at the right speed.
I read that similar problems occured with much stronger, not integrated graphics. May this be a bug?

Check your GPU settings. you may have a model that does not have GPU acceleration for gaming, i'd suggest looking up the surface pro forums. You can run it, but you will encounter difficulties if your model is one of those mobile ones...

Also, if you are running your surface pro on battery life or on low performance, switch to high performance. Chances are it's not receiving enough power to actually run the game, i too had that problem on mine. Ori is actually quite power hungry.. .

"i too had that problem on mine"
Do you have a surface too?

I checked my GPU settings and it seemed to run a bit better. Sometimes it works like a charm, one moment later it is slow again...

I was running on battery, now I'm gonna try it plugged in.
Microsoft removed all Power-Modes but Balanced from the Microsoft Surface, but in Intel-Driver Settings i was able to set it up in performance mode.

I keep trying :D

I'm running Ori very well on a Surface Pro 2 (i5, 4GB, 4400 Graphics) with some resolution tweaking. For reference, I'm running only the Microsoft-approved GPU drivers, not the latest Intel tools.

I set the game resolution to run at 720p and my system resolution around that, as well. The game now runs at what I believe is normal speed, with little to no dips--so long as the SP2 is plugged in. You can run the game at a higher resolution, but you'll want to balance the performance and display for yourself.

Note: If you lower the game resolution and your system resolution is still the default 1080p, the game screen will shrink with black bars all around---it won't upscale to fill your screen.

I prefer to play the game through a larger monitor (projecting through second screen only), but that's mainly because some of the game's design elements are a little small on the SP2's own screen.

I have SP3 i5. If you really want to play this game on the sp, choose the lowest screen resolution for your display. Then again, in game, choose 800:600 or 720p. I found 800:600 give the best game experience. Smooth and still eyes candy. Intel driver or Microsoft driver doesn't make any difference.

I have a Surface Pro 3 i7 and it Ori plays flawlessly so far at a custom resolution of 1080x720. I just set my desktop to 1080x720 before launching Steam and most games play perfectly fine at high detail settings. Ori still looks gorgeous, the only noticeable drawback is the blocky pixels on the fonts in the menus. Everything else is beautiful and the animation is fluid.

BTW, 1080x720 on the Pro 3 is exactly 1/4 the native screen resolution of 2160x1440. So while the pixels are four times the size and the graphics are a little blocky, but unlike the other oddball lower resolutions, everything is still sharp and the aspect ratio is a perfect match.

here's how you can get the game to run "fast." when you start the game turn vsync ON and change your resolution to the minimal. run or jump around for a couple seconds and you will notice the game will speed up. when you're satisfied with the speed, change your resolution to the next highest setting. repeat the process untill you reach the resolution that you want and it will be fast now.
