FRAMERATE - 11 January 2019

[SEGA Dev]

Hi Catherine fans,

Reports of 30fps gameplay have brought to our attention a bug where the camera and animations are not updating faster than 30fps in the puzzle sections.
We are aware of the bug and are currently looking into it.

Some further clarification on the framerate:

- Videos are locked at 30fps, due to the original assets being fixed at 30fps
- In-engine cutscenes render at vsync or higher
- Animation, movement, camera and rendering should be at vsync in all areas (currently bugged, as explained above); however as the game logic is extremely precise for elements such as sheep, blocks, and bosses, they are triggered at the equivalent of 30fps as in the original console game. Unlocking these elements would have fundamentally altered the gameplay, so the timing for them was preserved.

We’ll have another update on the above and other bug fixes once we’ve cleared QA.

Thanks,
SEGA Dev

Could you please also look into the slowdowns where the framerate appears to drop significantly below 30 fps for about 2 seconds? I have a high-end PC (gtx1070, i7-6820hk, 16GB RAM) so it shouldn't be happening. Thank you.

Edit: I should clarify that I noticed this issue during the puzzle sections and in the Landing area. I've noticed that this slowdown happens regularly when I'm running around in the left part of the Landing area so I think that's the easiest way to replicate it.

Thanks. Now we need Persona games.

Frame timings are still a massive problem too. It should noy have launched like this. It is good you are fixing it but releasing this and not fully body in the state it is in has made me and others incredibly weary of any new releases from you...

After the Hellgate London mess, it is refreshing to see a developer of yet another port comes out, acknowledge the problem and share a plan. Thank you. I am going to grab a copy based on your commitment.

Thank you for this quick update, I was concerned about this framerate issue and I'm happy that the team is aware of that and working on fixes. I'll buy the game to support your work

Please don't refund while you can, we're looking into it.
