Frame rate on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Scott0995 · Nov 11, 2019

Hi,

Problem: Xbox Game Pass PC (beta)

Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice

I cannot get the game to play at above 30 fps no matter what in game changes I make to graphics settings (except to play in a small

windowed mode which I don't want to do)

System: Nvidia GeForce 1060 6b

Ryzen 5 1500x

Windows 10

Possible solution? I have seen a fix that requires a simple addition to the shortcut's properties: add the following
set to -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -sm4 OR -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -dx10

However, I am unable to create a shortcut for this .exe file, add it to desktop, and add the above as it tells me the shortcut cannot be accessed.

I have granted administrator permission to my WindowsApp folder but I am assuming that perhaps DRM is preventing me from changing the properties of the shortcut?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

:)

Hi,

I've just tested this game. What resolution are you running your desktop in?

There seems to be an issue with the game changing its own internal resolution. My Desktop runs in 4K or 3840x2160. When I try to set the screen resolution in the game to anything, be that 2560x1440 or 1920x1080, the game just ignores it and goes back to
4K and hence only runs at 30 fps, and I've got an i7 8700, RTX 2080 and 16GB RAM.

However I've found a temporary fix for this game that seems to work for me to play at 60 fps in Fullscreen.

Run the game as normal.
In the graphics menu change to Windowed mode.
Right click on your desktop and select 'Display Settings'
In Windows Display settings, change the screen resolution to the desired resolution you want to use in the game.
Go back to the game and change the screen resolution here too.
Change back to full screen in the graphics settings menu,

You may have to change some of the other graphics settings to reach a locked 60 fps, but it worked for me.

Let me know how you get on.

Forgot to mention 12GB RAM installed

Thanks so much for your help!

I actually changed the desktop resolution from 3840x2160 to 1920 x 1280, now the game stops reverting to 4k every time and I am running at 60 fps on very high settings. Thanks again!
