Gotta go SLOW??
Started up Sonic Lost World, everything was fine right until I get to the first stage and everything is just SLOW! It's not stutturing or like stopping at points, the game is literally in slow motion! I've dealt with Generations slow famerate and got it fixed by fooling around with the displays and applying with the NVIDIA card and I got 60fps most of the time playing and no problems at all! I tried doing the same trick for Lost World and it looks like nothing is changing! It's just slowdown every single time. I could run Generations top notch but it looks like its just running slow for Lost World.

Yeah, Steam says the game is running at 60fps, sounds are normal, but it seems too slow :\
or maybe you're having a different problem than mine?

Nope I think we're on the same boat here! Everything is normal, its just everything is in slow motion right when I start the first stage. To be honest, I was expecting this to happen but I thought I couldve easily fixed it... guess I was wrong :(

This is because it's a LOCKED 60fps. If your game can't play at 60fps, it will slow down entirely. I had a drop happen on Windy Hill act 2. 40fps basically is chug mode. Once I got to the second half, however, no problems, and no more issues since that level.

sounds hardware related, i mean, i'm using a 750gtx card which is mid-level, and it'll probably handle a degree of this games graphical offerings, but probably not perfect by far, i'd recommend upgrading, considering i formerly used a GT640 (ddr3), i noticed the struggles....though don't go silly and buy something more than you're power supply can handle.

Zone 2 ran better than Zone 1 for me, lol

Pardon me if I sound stupid since I'm Not familiar with computer specs or what not, but what you're saying is that the locked 60fps is unfixable? I'm one of "those" people who play on a laptop so there's no upgrading for me. Would it be fixable in a patch if SEGA were to release one?

Might be able to change this by going into the games files

What is everyone's smoking? Just lower the resolution. Unless you're already using the lowest one this should be obvious.

yeah works fine for me all you must do is lower the resolution and the game works fine.

I got a GTX 750 here, too. No graphical problems, though. The game runs very smoothly.

Sonic Lost World has the same problem as Sonic Generations where if you're using an Optimus laptop/PC, it'll use the integrated Intel GPU instead of the dedicated Geforce GPU. Problem is that the workaround for in Generations doesn't work with Lost World, and there's no config or ini file to edit to try to get it to use the Geforce GPU.

Won't adding it to the control panel and setting it to the nvidia gpu work?

No. Tried this myself to no avail.

Every time there's an enemy on screen, the game slows down. Lowering the res is ugly and pixelated, too.

So, I tried making the resolution as low as possible, and it STILL runs slow. I managed to get to the end of the stage but thats where I stopped playing and just couldnt even handle it anymore. I just remembered I had the same exact problem playing sonic adventure 2! Gameplay was slowed down but I managed to fix it by going windowed mode in the configurations settings. But what sucks about Lost World is that they don't even have a fully fleshed out config settings!
