    Hi everyone.

    I'm having a issue where the frame rate drop massively whenever I enter photo mode.

    The game runs on a perfect 144 fps the majority of time, but in photo mode the FPS instantly drops to 36 or lower.

    I tried to lower all the graphical options to test if it was some filter or sort of, but the problem persists.

    Does anyone else also have this issue? Seems to be the same issue described here: Photo Mode low fps

    Yes it's expected to have a reduction in frames during photo mode.

    In order to get highest possible fidelity shots and filter effect quility when photomode is enabled most graphical settings are set to their maximum value, along with increased draw distance, and half rate vsync, to both ensure the shot is clean and to make sure that even lower end cards can hit the required rate with those details settings.

    Thanks for the answer. Ok, that explains! The one thing that I thought it was strange was the FPS drop (144 to 36, divided exactly by 4). If it's intended, it's all good!
