Eden Animation choppy/slow in only certain parts.
Got Eden on my first playthrough tonight. First time summoning it, I noticed that there are two specific instances where it seems the frame rate drops down significantly. I adjusted some settings thinking that maybe the 'updated' graphics for the Steam version of the game were causing my semi-outdated computer problems. When that didn't work I updated my graphics drivers (BFG GeForce 285 GTX). When that didn't work I followed the guide to verify the install on Steam's support website.

After that I jumped over onto my laptop which is significantly better, (I7, GTX670M). Tried the same animation on the lappy and had the same problem.

Is there any one else who is having problems with this?

I'm running 1920x1080, Full screen and Linear Filtering.

ok, lets see...

please give a full detail of your laptop, including operative system. a 285 GTX is an old model. you should be running perfect with a GTXM 400

Done some more playing around with it and it appears that the lower the screen resolution, the better performance through those two particular parts of the animation. If I use the "Original Graphic Mode" option, I have no animation problems (given it looks like a PSX though).

The lappy I'm using is an Asus RoG:

Windows 7 (64) updated
Intel I-7 (3610QM)
16gb DDR3 (1600MHz)
Nvidia GTX670M

Still choppy as heck through two particular spots of the animation (running @ 1080 w/ Linear Filtering & Full Screen).

To give you an idea of where:

The shot change between 39-40 seconds into the above movie until about 45-46 seconds is where I am having the main issue. I'd estimate less than 8fps through this section and this INCLUDES input delay/lag (IE scrolling through menus only occurs on frames; including sounds etc).

dropping the screen res to 1600x900 almost entirely fixes the problem on the lappy.

Now that I am more accurately describing this, it feels more and more petty.

i came straight here after summoning or the first time, even the tap x to boost is lagging, i summoned bahumut to see if it happened during his animation and nothing, only eden.
