Final Fantasy XIII cutscene lag

Final Fantasy XIII cutscene lag - Woman in Black and White Polka Dot Long Sleeve Shirt

I just installed FFXIII on my new laptop. I've never played the PC version until now.

I turned the graphics all the way up using the pre-game window - rendering real-time game-play is no problem. I'm getting well over 30fps. However, the cutscenes seem to be lagging and glitching for some reason.

What could be the cause of the cutscene lag - could it be my laptop, if not, is there anything I can do about this?

Specs:

  • Intel i7 (2.4 to 3.6GHz)
  • 32GB Ram
  • 2x GTX 860 (SLI)
  • 3x SSD Raid 0

Best Answer

Either plug in a usb controller or disable all HID-Compliant devices in the device manager.

The issue is that every couple of seconds, the game is testing all HID-compliant devices for a controller. These tests interrupt smooth video playback.

If you disable the HID-compliant devices keyboard and mouse should still function, but extra features on them (media buttons) may not.
