Need help to make this game run good

[supermichael]

For some reason when I try to play the game in High and Medium quality there is a lot of lag in the game, the game only runs without lag by playing on the lowest quality with everything of in graphics.

For some reason my control still list PS4 buttons instead of Xbox 360 buttons, but that is weird my friend PC works perfectly on the high setting along with the button showing Xbox 360 buttons.

I tried to uninstall it and install it incase maybe it help but no difference.

What can I do to improve it, playing at the lowest setting with everything looks so bad.

There is a setting in the options menu that's something like "Numbers, Letters, Symbols" as choices. You want 'Letters' for Xbox controllers.

Thanks I changed that setting and now it shows the Xbox 360 control. When I know how to get this game to work well without lagging or slow FPS then I can enjoy it.

Some brainstorming that may or may not help you:
- Are you playing on a laptop? Maybe it runs in battery saving mode or not using the graphics card.
- If you have an Nvidia graphics card, turn on Vsync in the system panel for Nvidia and deactivate it ingame.
- Lower a graphics setting one by one. Maybe there is one (for example shadows) that is bad for your PC but the rest can be run on high.
- Latest graphic drivers installed? I hear they can make a huge difference.

Also, what are your specs? Maybe we can better help you if we know them.

- Yes I am using a laptop, although it supposed to be a gaming Laptop Asus ROG. My GPU is Nvidia Geforce GTX 870m. I removed my battery from my laptop since it is normally plugged in. How do I make sure if it set to graphics card instead of battery saving mode?

- I try checking if I have the latest graphic drivers installed.

Basicly disable all the Video options, skipping cutscenes avoids many crashes.

There should be options for energy saving somewhere, where you can change when the laptop goes into sleep mode etc. Usually there are options for energy saving modes which don't use all the laptops available hardware. Maybe even a separate option for the graphics card. I think it's best you use google and search where you find these options specifically for your laptop. And maybe download a software (or if there is one pre-installed) that lets you know if the graphics card is used while you are playing a game.

You can go to Nvidia Control Panel, add the game to settings there, and set it to use the 870m instead of onboard chip.

Found a quick tutorial how to do that.

Here's one more indepth with the intel stuff too:

That would be because the game runs at 4K and then gets downsampled to whatever resolution you select in-game.

Switch to the preview branch and you'll get a new render mode option on the display settings section. It's the only way your GPU is ever going to have enough memory bandwidth to run this game -- 4K is way too demanding for a laptop with your generation of GPU.

I have a laptop myself and can run the game at 4K fine, but that's because it's a GTX 1080 and NVIDIA now puts desktop GPUs in laptops.

@Tiasmoon Thanks for the videos, I did what the first video mentions and now my game works good.

For future games (especially ports) keep this in mind, as laptops often use the onboard chip by default. : )
