Turn v-sync off if you haven't already. Both in-game & your gfx cards' control panel.

Thanks, why is V-sync set to 30?

It isn't by default. It's set to the refresh rate of your monitor which is usually 60hz, 120hz or 144hz.

So if you have a 60hz monitor, you need a minimum fps of 60 for vsync to work properly, as every time your monitor refreshes the display it shows a single frame generated by your gfx card.

If your gfx card isn't fast enough to generate the minimum of 60 fps at your particular in-game gfx settings, the monitor shows a frame for 2 refresh cycles, so 60 / 2 = 30 :

I started Just Cause 3 today and it's in 3d? I've not changed anything I don't have a 3d monitor anyone know how to fix it?

Been getting some graphical issues today, I was down by the water blowing stuff up when I noticed the water had disappeared?!?

I am thinking I may need to update my Nvidia GPU drivers. What are the best ones to use, bearing in mind I am still on 350.12

359.06, that's the game ready driver for JC 3.

Ok thanks, need to lower a few settings then.

Ummm, has the game been patched or something?

I've uninstalled it in the end since I couldn't force myself to play at 30fps but decided to install it again on my HDD and experiment some more. Now it suddenly runs at 60fps at 1440p on the same settings I used before :confused:

There are drops at times but it all feels smoth. Even when there are huge explosions it doesn't go lower than 45-50 (mostly 50-55)... I don't get it.

No, bought my key a couple of days after release.

One thing is certain, it wasn't the grunt of the card after all. Something just went wrong with the game or my hardware. In total, I installed and uninstalled it three times and this time it worked properly. I hope I won't be in for a surprise the next time I fire it up

All I want is a way to change FoV! Hopefully it appears soon as a mod

So, worth getting this?

If you enjoy blowing stuff up for about an hour every now and again then yes, not much more to it. It's just good fun, can't tether a human to the back of a car and drive around in any other game!

It's great fun when they go flying through barriers and stuff, it does make the car quite hard to drive though

GAM8LE · 13 Dec 2015 at 19:01

Tether multiple enemies to each other, then shoot a rocket launcher at them lol

Or the most common one, stick one of those grenades to their face so they fly about and eventually explode

Wah007 · 13 Dec 2015 at 19:02

I can't seem to tether the ones with the heavy body armor on, they have them mini guns.

CaptainRAVE · 13 Dec 2015 at 19:04

Off work this week, so decided to pick this up

Pretty much done with Fallout for now.
