Apologies for the delay in response, we've been on holiday break. I've seen this myself and will be escalating it to the team.

Thank you for your report.

If you can get us as much diagnostics on your computer as you can, and let us know if this is constant or random.

We've had all of one (me) report of this in the last year or so, and I never narrowed it down on my device.

The issue does not seem to be random as i have tried anything from restarting the game, making a new save on a different difficulty and restarting my computer without any change.

My first time launching the game and playing for a number of hours had no issue, but after closing it and booting it up the next day i started experiencing the problem.

As for diagnostics i am not quite sure what you mean but you can have my computer specs and operating system in case that is of any help:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX, 2100 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU

If you need anything more specific i can provide that when i know what that might be and how to get it.

Thank you for the (relatively) fast response (unlike mine) and i hope you had a good break!

All good. So far, you and I are the only ones to've had this happen. I'm going to have to set up my personal computer to do some tests later today.

My work computer doesn't seem to have the issue, but if I can get some more replications knocked out, I'll hopefully be able to get some more info to the team.

Can you get some recordings? It just won't happen on my computer and it's driving me crazy.

I can't figure out how to send a recording i get an error on the site whenever i try I'll make some more short recordings and try later or if you got another alternative

Feel free to email them to me if they're too big to attach!

Got your videos and I'm sending them to the team to closer inspect!

Hello, sorry for the late follow-up on this one. The video was very informative of the symptom, but unfortunately I could not tell what was causing the issue. Here are a few ideas:

1. We have seen users that use software like Cheat Engine to alter the game speed, so it is possible that some other software on your device could be interacting with the game to cause this timing fluctuations. We usually just ask players to disable all the other processes such as Riva Tuner Statistic Server, MSI Center, recording software, etc and then go through the process of elimination to find out which one was affecting the game. Unfortunately, we have not had any users that encountered the same situation as yours, so we can't pin a specific software down that could help with your situation.
2. Some players reported that in the game's settings -> Graphics-> Screen Mode option, altering between Full Screen and other non-full-screen options can have an effect on the game's framerate. Generally, the Full Screen mode performs better. If you haven't changed this option previously, you can try altering it to see if it makes any differences.
3. Bluetooth devices, especially headsets, can cause input/output delays that affect the game speed. So if you disable any peripheral hardware devices such as gamepad or headsets, it might affect the game as well.
