Just bought this game and I'm trying to make a video on it, but no matter what I do, when I get to the first dialogue part (back door of gas station), it becomes a slide show. INSANE performance drop and all of my usages shoot up to 100%. After the dialogue, everything is smooth as butter again. Currently, this game is unplayable for me which is extremely disappointing. Not a happy camper after paying money and not being able to play.
Hey, I think "After the dialogue, everything is smooth as butter again." is a good clue that this is not a performance issue. In fact, while in dialogue, there's almost nothing to render out, and it's a relatively simple part of the game for the CPU.
This could be an issue with more than one application "fighting" over the Windows cursor capture, and probably an another software won, so CHORDOSIS got unfocused. that's why after the in-game cursor disappears, things go back to smooth.
if that happens, click outside the game and click back in, to make sure CHORDOSIS is focused. You can test this by just clicking outside the game any time and you'll receive about 8 fps.
Truly hope this helps, and hope you'll have fun with my game!
That makes sense. I'll try that and see how it goes. The game looks phenomenal which is why I'm so disappointed. I watched the demo on YouTube some time ago and I was so intrigued by it. More alien type games like this need to be on the market, it's such an untapped genre that when I seen this game (and that the founder's edition now exists), I immediately purchased haha. Sorry if I came off as "that guy" but I REALLY want to play this game lol. I will try what you said and report back! Also not sure why my original comment got a -1, is this not where we post feedback? Lol.
