Cape physics fix?

[[RHWK] ButtFungus]

Hey just want to say I love the hell out of this game, originally purchased it for my ps4 and played it to death. Since my ps4 is no longer operable, I purchased it for my new PC, and I'm still loving it, and everything seems significantly improved since I last played; but I've noticed that the capes are all stiff as a board. It's not game breaking or anything, but I remember the cape physics being on par with the Arkham games, and I remember loving how they made the game feel more dynamic and fluid, and just wanted to know if anybody is aware of any way to fix this

Are you saying they don't flutter at all? Like, do they not animate?

The cape animates just fine here on a 1080 Ti. I've heard that newer GPUs don't implement all of the features that Hairworks and PhysX used, so some stuff might not work on newer systems. (Refer to FO4 and Weapon Debris for another example.)

Yeah 0 animation. I did find that when I limit my FPS to 30 instead of uncapping it it seems to do fine, at 60 there's minimal animation, and at 240+ there's nothing. The cape's a plank

Yeah I could see that being the case. Maybe the newer architecture of the new GPUs just doesn't work well with the game, but it seems to work fine if I limit the framerate, so I'm not sure.

I'm using a 3080 Ti and the physics look fine, but they're locked to 60fps because I'm forced to use a monitor with that refresh rate until I get another one.

That being said, the first time I played the game a couple years back was on a 144 Hz monitor and it was fine then too, but I was also using a different graphics card. I think it was a 1080 Ti.

Some games or developers are known for locking their physics to framerate (Bethesda is notorious for this stupidity), so I can't deny it may be the case here.

Well then I can't understand why mine look so poor then. Even on 60fps its pretty bad, and my cards from the same generation as yours. My monitor goes up to 240hz, but if the physics are fine for you at 60 and dirt poor for me at 60 then it's gotta be something else

Is your PhysX (If Nvidia) installed and up to date?

That's the only thing I can think of.

I don't know nothing about other (Radion?) cards. So not sure what they use.

Actually that might work. I don't think I've checked the Physx drivers since I got the card

Looks like I've got the latest drivers available, so that isn't it either

Yup, sadly the cape physics are tied to framerate. Talion also has hair physics that just don't show if you're a certain amount over 60 fps. This has come up in various posts and a few videos over the years, but there's no fix.

For those of you saying your physics are "fine", set the game to 30 fps max and see what it's supposed to look like. It's night and day. I almost wished I hadn't checked because I hadn't really had an issue with it before, but now that I know what the game should look like, it sort of hurt the experience.

Still not worth 30 fps though, so it looks like we're stuck with it.
