Extremely low fps in some menu pages at 4k resolution.

When you choose 4k res, the menu fps goes to 2fps, and you can barely use it. The game itself runs fine, but that menu is seriously troublesome and hampers usability. Anyone know a fix?

Me too, i have same problem with nvidia dsr...

edit. i think it's an engine issue (thx dev). I tryed all pk (except hd), all demos (3sp and 1 mp) and everytime same problem. The only one that worked in the menu is the "pre alpha" version of the game (very incomplete of course). With that i have 3000fps in main menu even on 4k, it drops a lot in sub menu, and drop a lot again in sound menu (around 50fps). We have three option: play like that and nevermind the issue on the menu only, or play the mod "painkiller modern graphic" because it work on necrovision engine and not pain engine (but that have only few levels if i'm right because isn't a complete conversion), better and with more effect too, or at end play pk:hd.

edit2: if you search on google, this issue isn't only of this old game but also for some other games with different engine...

Hey bro, i've found a workaround that maybe can help you. I mean i've do a little mod that auto change the resolution. For example when you're in the menu the resolution is 1080p, when you're in game resolution change to 4k and if you open the menu resolution go back to 1080p.

Of course you can set what you want, but you can't change it from the game.
