This is unplayable until this is fixed. I have seen multiple people on reddit and discord that also have this problem. The refresh rates above 60hz are broken, it makes the game super choppy. I am playing on 144hz and the whole game is skipping when I turn even though I am running at 300fps.

I can not even get a solid 90 on low at default 110% res. Meanwhile people with 2060s and 2070s are playign it at ultra at 150% at 120fps....

I am not the only oen with this CPU and Card having this issue either.

Have you updated your video card drivers?

Of course, i've done all the usual suspects, literally spent 2.5 hours trying to get it to run acceptably. I am not the only one either.

I've done everything possible on the user front.

High refresh modes are capped to 60hz.

No combination of video or graphics options solve this issue.

Hopping for a quick fix!

Thank you.

I experience this issue too.  I'm using an Oculus Quest and the game is going through SteamVR.  What is happening is that the game is still rendering at full speed.  However, camera movements cause the game to momentarily chug hard.  On the VR headset you can see time-warp artifacts on the image (you can see the black border of the rendered image) if you move far enough.  If you try to keep your head perfectly still, the game will render at seemingly normal speeds.

My only solution is to quit to the main menu and re-launch the campaign at my last checkpoint.  The bug happens about once or twice a mission.

I was able to fix the refresh rate, make sure you select Full Screen Mode, then the other settings will open up to you. I hope this helps!

Please explain 'Other' V-sync and or mayor frame skipping
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. Happens everywhere when I play the game, tried changing all Video settings to no avail.

What happens when the bug occurs? There is a major optimization problem with the game. Playing at above 60 FPS+ there is frame skipping, the FPS for me is 144hz but it is far from what 144hz should look like. It's so bad that I have to use 60 FPS to reduce it and at that it's still there, it makes 144hz look like 30hz. I went back to Star Wars Battlefront 2 to make sure the old engine was right and I played a starfighter game and it looks perfect, so I hope this can be fixed quickly because it's a real problem and everyone should be having this issue.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the game run smooth like it does in Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." none

Hello

I run the game on an RTX 2070, i5-8600K and 1440p screen, and I have really bad performances, whether I set the graphics in ultra or low, it seems I am stuck at 30-40 fps. I tried to enable or disable VSYNC but it's the same

Anyone else got the problem ?
