Hi there,
We noticed that some people experience way too fast gameplay, which could explain the reports of extreme difficulty we’ve been hearing from a small amount of players.
If you have a videocard with GSYNC, please *don't* enable that for RIVE. At least not for now. Please use the good 'ol VSYNC (@ 60 FPS).
Even if your capture tools reports 60/61 FPS with GSYNC, this doesn't mean the game internally runs at the same speed. So don't trust that number. Simply switch to VSYNC and you should be fine!
We will definitely look into this and keep you posted on this matter!!!
