Extreme Lag, anyone else

[DriftNinjaElite]

I can Preformance test fine at 60FPS average, but when it comes to playing the main game, fights lag like crazy. I'm on the lowest settings possible and my default card is set to Nvidea Geforce 745M. I should have no problem running this game, but the lag is making it almost unplayable.

Try lowering your resolution.

I tried everything, it lags, horribly. I even tried setting my graphics card to preformance mode and no dice. I can run Project Cars fine on low settings and that's a much more graphically intensive game.

Well that sucks. The game is a lot more demanding that it should be for unknown reasons, hopefully Capcom or someone else will fix it.

[DriftNinjaElite]

The only possibility i can think of is that there might be a memory leak somewhere. I was able to beat Berial but it was hard to read his attacks because of the lag. Hope this is an easy fix for them, i really want to enjoy this game.

Make sure the framerate setting is on variable. If that doesn't work, i'm not sure.

I tried that, like i said, i even went deep into my settings outside of the game and messed around with it. I turned everything off, back on, back off, different combinations, etc. I am gonna double check my drivers and make sure i don't need to update those, but i do not believe that is the issue.

Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40Ghz
Nvidea 745M Graphics Card coupled with Intel HD Graphics 4600
16Gigs of ram

This isn't the best rig for gaming, however it preforms when i need it to.

Actually yeah, I had a friend of mine test his computer with it which isn't so much meant for gaming entirely. It's good, but not enough for the gaming of today (even though there are some games he can play just fine.) and even with the lowest settings, it still runs about 50-75% of the speed with enemies on screen.

I built my own gaming computer:

Intel core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti
16 GB Ram

I could be your rig as in comparison to the recommended requirements posted on the store page. Even though the minimum may be close to what you have, sometimes the minimum just isn't enough. But maybe Capcom might need to optimize a little better also.

Captain, there is a driver update for both the 4600 and the Nvidea card, the Nvidea card is just in time for Batman: Arkham Knight, so i will test it tonight and see if it runs smoothly with the new driver. I did some pc optimization and basic maitence. Hopefully it will work.

The game is running on the exact same engine as the 2008 PC version did, that was one of the most beautiful and well optimized game in it's time. Hell is still looks better and runs 10 times faster than X1/PS4 games (30 fps vs 300fps in DMC4). The higher res textures, 1080p and everything was already included on PC in 2008. If this runs really bad for you after 7 years passed since original relase, there is something wrong on your end.

I'd look at a frameworks repair and a different (not necessary newest) driver.

the Ps4 and Xone version are 60 fps too, just like the X360 and Ps3 were.

DMC4SE runs on our updated MT Framework engine which supports additional post processing effects not present in the original DMC4. In addition to new visual effects, some texture assets have also been updated with higher resolution versions.

This is one of the reasons why the system requirements (including VRAM size) have gone up a bit.

If the game runs in slo-mo, it means that your PC is likely not capable of sustaining 60fps and starts go out of synch.

Setting FPS to 'VARIABLE' should ameliorate most if not all of the slow motion issues. Note that setting it to Variable doesn't mean your minimum frame rate will go up. It simply decouples gameplay speed from rendering (fps) speed.

I managed to fix it after some tweaking, but thank you for the advice and the prompt reply. This isn't exactly a gaming laptop, however it can run 95% of games with some tweaks. Enjoying the game so far.

Wbacon, are you guys going to update the game at all or expand the toggleable options in the .ini? Hex editing is rather confusing for most people and I think many people would disable all of those new features if they could.

Hi everyone. I just bought the game and I noticed that Campcom doesn't fixed the problem in this 5 years. Did someone finally find some way to fix this.
I really want to keep playing this game, but if this doesn't have any solution guess I will refund it

[eslam.mohey1990]
