Heavy fps drop problem - AtomicFenix - 02-12-2017

PROBLEM
So uhm... Hi... I bought the penumbra collection on steam and installed all three games.
After i launched the game i noticed that whenever I move my Mouse a bit faster i get really bad Fps drops! It has nothing to do with the graphical settings. I have a beast PC, i can run Resident Evil 7 on maximum settings with 60+fps Sad


PC SPECS:
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 980
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Operating System: Windows 10
System Type: 64-bit
RAM: 16.0 GB

I haven't tested Penumbra on Windows 10, but here are some suggestions:

- Set the compatibility mode on the .exe file to Windows 7.
- Disable display scaling on the .exe.

What do you mean "move the mouse a bit faster"? Is it whenever you move the mouse or only if you move it at a certain speed?

Do you have ShadowPlay enables so that you can see the FPS you're getting?

- In the main menu when i move my mouse very slowly, everything is okay, as soon as I start to move it quicker, it starts to drop FPS. When I'm in game i cant even look or move my mouse without massive FPS drops...

- I have ShadowPlay enabled and yes I do have the FPS counter
The frames drop usually from 60 to anywhere form 7 - 15 FPS Undecided

- I'm going to try what you suggested now and I'm going to post if it helped

UPDATE:
It still doesn't work... I figured out that it depends on my DPI, i put my dpi on low and in-game mouse sensitivity on high, it still lags when i move my mouse too fast but its playable... Undecided

Tried setting your system DPI to 100%?
