on my side it's different, at full screen it runs at 1080p and some ridiculously large framerate, as if it wasn't limited at all.

everything's so fast i can't do anything and need to go back to windowed mode to get it at normal speed.

i do have hdmi connected monitor though.

Hey GUCFan,

The kind of cable should make no difference. Are you perhaps running from a laptop or other mobile device with a less than 1080 screen? Attaching an hdmi cable to a 1080 screen on such a device will allow 1080 as a selection from the resolutions box, but the game would only do 1080 when full-screen on the tv. Picking 1080 on your primary attached display would do it's lower, native resolution. If this is what's happening to you, the framerate difference observed between your primary display and the attached TV would simply be that your gpu can't keep up with full 1080 rendering at 60hz. Try selecting a lower resolution - something closer to your attached display's native resolution.

I made several assumptions there. Please let me know if your setup is not like what I described.

Yarrmateys,

I'm able to reproduce your exact symptoms locally by doing the following (assuming your gpu is NVidia):

1) Enter NVidia Control Panel

2) In the tree on the left, open 3D Settings, Manage 3D Settings

3) In the Global Settings tab on the right, scroll to the feature "Vertical sync"

If I set Vertical Sync to Off, I get exactly what you describe. Windowed mode runs correctly, but full-screen mode runs unplayably fast. If I set it to "Use the 3D application setting", the game runs correctly.

Is there any chance at all that you've forced vsync off inadvertently under either Global Settings or Program Settings? The behavior you describe sounds exactly like what should happen if the driver has been configured to ignore vsync requests from the game.

The above is of course a bit different if you're on an AMD gpu. I don't have a system with catalyst handy, but it should have a very similar setting.
