I have some problems with the grafical options in PCM14. If I have the pre-sets above 2, it´ll take about 5-10 minutes to load a stage, and that´s obviously too much. I don´t know which settings I can adjust to get the best image without lag and without a long load-time.
My videocard is AMD Radeon R7 M265, and it should be okay. My processor is Intel Core i5.
I know some people with specs appx. as good as mine, and they can have much higher settings without any lag. Could anybody help me?
Thanks |

Everything on 1, except antistropy and anti-aliasing. No effects, Standard mode. Reflection in water, realistic rays of sun, one texture per rider, motion blur all should be off too. That will make one really good enviroment which should be playable and should load much faster. Don't let these numbers fool you, everything one 1 is actually really good most of the time, depends on the stage.
I can't run PCM at the moment, so I can't exactly say what you should do more, but the things above are more or less that. Try playing with other settings and see what they actually do.

If somebody else really has the same computer, then it could be related to the drivers of your graphics and sound card.
Cyanide has a tech FAQ, have a look there: https://www.cyanid...mp;t=16366 |

Should Anisotropy and anti-aliasing be on 0? What about image filter? And what about the pre-sets(I assume the pre-sets won´t make any difference)?
Thanks for the answer, sometimes I just don´t understand everything |

Can´t be true, that it is impossible to play with graphics on. A pc that can run Battlefield should be able to run pcm , but i guess not. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME |

I know it very well. My high end PC continues to crash frequently with all set to maximum, so i am doing experiments which setting is "OK". Terrible thing, to be punished for actually having the hardware for highest options they offer

For me, both anisotropy and anti-aliasing are both on 0. Image filter is on "no filter". Pre-sets shouldn't make a big problem, yes.
It's on you to choose. If settings I recommended are low for you and you don't feel there are enough f.e. spectators, you should up it or down it or do whatever you want, until you find perfect setting and balance between loading quickly and having a nice enviroment. I am using very high settings (basically all on max, except no image filter and no motion blur) in some situations (when writing stories or reporting MG) and it takes much more time to load, while the difference isn't that big, really.
I know all of this sounds funny and ridiculous, as you, with those PC specifications, should play game on max without these big loading times, but PCM's engine is bad, while on another side you have tons of 200km races/stages with all enviroment around, so you can't blame them totally.

The problem with pcm is called: optimization.
The game can't use, in the right way, all the system resources. Until the last month i was playing with a computer that had 4 gb ram, a processor with 4 cores and a video card hd 6770 1 gb vram and if want to play well i need to put all graphical option in 1 or 2 nevertheless the game run with no fluenty and sometimes freeze in races like milan sanremo or those with several wather elements. This month i buy a new computer with 8 gb ram, a processor with 6 cores and kept the same video card. Oh my god all changes for me i can put all at maximum and with all the filters at maximum to and the game run excellent without problems included the milan sanremo and all those races with the sea besides the road.
So in my opinion pcm don't use very well all the system resources. It's weird that my old computer can run others games like watch dogs without problems and pcm don't. |

My brother has settings pretty much lower than mine, but he´s still got a better picture. It´s like it´s more "sharp", while mine is more soft and cloudy(which I don´t want).
I really don´t know why it could be, could someone help me?
This is my graphical settings https://gyazo.com/...f482d104f8 |

Do you know what to do if I want the shirts in higher quality? They are not very good looking. Anisotropy? Quality of textures? |

I think this is the right place to ask for the graphical option Isolated Videos, what's for? or what add to the game?
Thanks in advance |

Which option do you mean?
Isolated buildings = Special buildings like London Tower Bridge and lots of buildings in Paris.
Intro Videos = Pretty obvious |

I cannot look at my game at the moment so I don't know which option you mean. But you can switch your game to english. |
