Issues fixed

Texture resolution is grayed out and can't be changed in the menu

Set texture resolution manually[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Open system.cfg in a text editor.
  3. Add sys_spec_textureresolution=x where x is one of the aftermentioned values.
    • 0 – Automatic detection based upon available video memory
    • 1 – Low (1.0 GB VRAM)
    • 2 – Medium (1.5 GB VRAM)
    • 3 – High (2.0 GB VRAM)
    • 4 – Very High (3.0 GB VRAM)

Low CPU performance

Enable high resolution system timer[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Open system.cfg in a text editor.
  3. Add sys_highrestimer=1 to enable the high resolution system timer.
  4. Save the file.

Stuttering

The following steps may fix stuttering on some systems due to the way V-Sync is handled in the game.
Enable triple buffering and V-Sync[citation needed]
  1. First apply the Low CPU performance fix.
  2. Disable V-Sync in game.
  3. Go to <path-to-game>.
  4. Open system.cfg in a text editor.
  5. Add this line at the bottom to enable triple buffering: r_NumBackbuffers=3
  6. Save the file.
  7. Go to the GPU control panel and enable standard V-Sync for Ryse: Son of Rome. Adaptive V-Sync may not solve the issue.

Low/inconsistent framerate

Turn on ShadowPlay[7]

Turn on ShadowPlay on Nvidia gpus or use Windows 10 Game DVR feature, AMD Radeon Relive may have the same effect.

Alter settings inside nVidia Control Panel
  1. Another option that works for nVidia cards are to go into the Nvidia control panel and setting:

"Low Latency Mode" to Ultra OR "Vertical sync" to Fast. Either one works.

Toggle flash elements

Enables/disables all flash elements in the game (also including the menu). Should only be disabled when trying to create beauty shots of ingame environment.
Disable flash elements[4]
  1. Go to the installation folder.
  2. Open system.cfg.
  3. Add gfx_draw=0 to disable all flash elements.

Notes

Can either be set in system.cfg or in the console when being ingame.

Skip cutscenes

Delete/rename video files[8]
  1. Go to GameRyse in the installation folder.
  2. Delete or rename Videos-part0.pak, Videos-part1.pak, Videos-part2.pak, and Videos-part3.pak
Deleting, or renaming these files skips every cutscene automatically, most game's cutscenes cannot be skipped without this solution, making this very useful for people who want to replay the game without looking at the cutscenes.
This method, sadly, can also make enemies not spawn at three specific moments in the game forcing you to restart your latest checkpoint, which you can do by pausing the game and then clicking on timeline, there you'll find the load last checkpoint option.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/302510/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (302510) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
