Issues Faced During Gameplay
People face all sorts of problems when playing games. Strange drops in frames per second, input lags, freezes and bugs never seen before exist in almost every other game you purchase. Devil May Cry HD Collection is no different and we will be discussing the issues as well as solutions to problems people have reported to have faced during the gameplay.
Firstly, there are many reports of issues with frame rates in the game. Every time there is a lot going on in the game, the frames start to drop. With a gap of three seconds, several frames tend to drop during the cutscenes. Also, the audio lags behind the video of the cutscene a tiny bit. This is not something that persists only in one of the collection, it is a constant in all of them. It is important to note that this happens despite the game running in full screen and Vsync on while the monitor is running at 60 Hz. For some users, it can definitely be a deficiency from there end. However, gamers with high-end computer systems have also reported this issue. Another important issue is that of cutscenes. A few users have been heard complaining that the cutscenes simply do not show up at all! Cutscenes that should appear before the menu items are also not showing up. This leads to players not being able to interpret the few cutscenes that do appear leading to confusion regarding the story of the game.
Solutions to Lags and Other Issues
When it comes to the support Devil May Cry HD Collection’s developers Capcom provide, the most feasible and authentic way is to go to the pinned thread on Steam community. They have provided a platform where you can look for solutions, as well as report any bugs and issues you are facing during the gameplay. Some of the things that you need to ensure from your end, for the sake of meeting the requirements of running the game, are discussed below.
Go to the Steam Store webpage of this game and look for the minimum requirements for running the game. It is imperative that your system meets these demands of the game, otherwise, it is just a waste of time trying to get around the issues you are witnessing. It is also important to list the game’s installation directory in the exception list of the antivirus software. What this software tends to do is prevent the running of a game smoothly enough due to it considering some files as error-prone when in fact those files are perfectly safe.
Running the game as an administrator can sometimes do wonders to the ability of the system to run games at a good FPS rate and without lags. To do this, you need to right-click on .exe file of the game and select Run as administrator. Updating the graphics driver can also save people in dire need of help. This is because graphics card developers are always busy with optimizing their products so that their product can outperform its competitors.
