Can you post your pc specs (cpu, gpu, ram and os version)?

I'm having this same issue, I can't get it over 10 fps. I have a brand new 4k laptop, also a custom desktop that's just been built several months ago and I'm very good at the tech side of things but this game baffles me.

Same here, i am at a loss, kinda sucks because i was really looking forward to this.

Can all of you post detailed specs of pc (cpu, gpu, ram and os version)?

Same here. I bought a new gaming laptop with a GTX 970M and intel i7 but I can't get the game to go above 15 or so FPS, even when I set settings to low. This game looks good and I keep hearing masterpiece, but on the technical side, this game is horribly optimized; if you can even call it that.

Check please if the game is running on your dedicated graphics card. It's a known issue that it may launch via your integrated card.

i'm thinking about buying the game, but i'm not sure a 660 can handle it smoothly.

is the nividia card issue concerning 'forcing' the dedicated card to run instead of the integrated card related to just laptops, as i have my integrated card on my mobo disabled through the bios?

here are my specs:

vista 32 os
3.25gb ram
gtx 660 gpu
i3 cpu

If integrated gpu is disabled in bios it will be ok, and for now it should work on medium quality

Helvehammer was faster again :) And yes, his words are true wisdom, and the game should run your hardware on medium details :)

game runs so bad on my laptop. ~15 fps with low graphic and 1280x720 res
win 10
i5 3210m
6 gb ram
geforce 640m

cheers for getting back to me :)

it does run on his 660, but it's choppy/juddery on medium and low.

reduced resolution fares no better.

should it be butter smooth?

Just checked on 560TI witch is slower than 660 and have only 1gb of memory, on 1920x1200 and quality set to medium i had 45-100 fps (most time around 65). Maybe you should check this topic http://gtm.you1.cn/app/391720/discussions/0/520518688941715405/

hi helvehammer,

i've just just sent my dxdiag to you.

i've now got my friends 660 installed, same problems.

it's not totally umplayable, i just thought it should be nice 'n' smooth.

i'm using a 1080 tv at 60hz.
there seems to be forced vsync coming from somewhere.
i've tried to force it off in nvidias control panel through global settings, but that appaers to have no effect.
i noticed another thread wher you mention nvidia control panel choices have no effect.
how can i turn off the vsync?

internet is off.
no other programs on (no anti virus etc).
nothing downloading.

it's also strange that even when i reduce resolution to 1280x720 on medium it's still jerky for me, especially in colourful settings, it's pretty good when everything goes dark grey.

cheers for offering to help out. what a hands on bunch of guys you all are, much appreciated ;)

I cannot figure out why i am unable to play this game? I have over 30 games in my Steam Libraby and many more on my PC and i have never faced this issue where a game is unable to run on my system, i always play on the highest resoluation with games that have amazing graphics and have even tried this game at its lowest and still it is unplayable due to the lag. Please fix this, i was so excited to play this game and after doing everything i can think of it still doesnt work :-( help it looks awesome.

First off let me state that it was not Layers of Fear, but my computer. I did factory reset as i noticed games i had played previously didnt work either after i had the issue with this game. After the reset it worked perfectly and let me say this game is Effing AWESOME! I love everything about it, the twisted story, creepy immersive atmosphere, everything. I need more games like this to be released. Great job to the developers, now off to complete the game i haven't moved since i started it. I only stopped to write this because for some reason the door near the chains will not open and makes a swirly thing over the door know when i try to open it, wierd right, i know. I even watched a playthrough in this area to see if it was part of the gameplay but it isnt? Either way, it is amazing!!!! Definitely reccomend to anyone who likes horror and stories with an amnesia feel
