** CAUTION - FLAMMABLE **
Hi,
I have been playing pes on XP for some time and moved over to win7 64bit (same rig). And under 7 the game in-game playing camera has been poor with jitter and stammer and panning lag. Under XP it ran extremely smooth. I tried all manner of things and today i tried one last thing which completely fixed it.
I hope others running game on lower end rigs in windows7 may try this to FINALLY sort out the lag. NOTE: this wont fix complete lag in cut scenes or replay editor but will smooth gameplay and instant replays, also this based on latest nvidia drivers.
My monitor runs at 75hz or 85hz based on resolution 1600x1200 etc or 1400x900. I tried stepping down windowed/lowest res and up and up and every setting lagged. So under nvidia control panel I went to "Change resolution" - I then selected the "customise" button. From here I forced my standard res mhz refresh rate down to what I know worked under XP and my other monitor and that was "60hz". You can step it down and test (check monitor manual so you set it within range).
So once I forced the refresh rate to 60hz and left Vsync to "application controlled" under 3d settings all lag vanished once in game !
SO my final settings were 1600x1200 60hz in windows at the desktop and then 1600x1200 16:9 letterboxed in the game settings.
So anyone that seems to have inescapable lag when playing a match no matter what you try (even when lowering all graphics settings and playing windowed and still experience it), check your monitor manual, and step through custom resolutions that your monitor can handle, and then set the lowest refresh rate 60hz for me seemed to be the solution. Then apply if its ok, and run the game, make sure game graphics settings are MATCHING the same screen res (16:9 letterbox also) and test, remember to set "vsync" to "application controlled" as well.
Seems this engine doesn't like certain refresh rate combinations and screen res sizes, once you hit a sweet spot custom res/hz I bet you will suddenly see the end to lag.
Also note I dont use injectors or any expanded settings tools, just normal pes setting.exe and nvidia control panel.
Give it a go, you may also find you get even more smooth play even if you get minor lag.
