Some atempt to return, failed
I quit this game a year and some ago cause my pc was crappy and it wasn't decently playable for me, came back now with a new pc and all that and i find disaster lol, wth happened?? i know i used to play in mouse mode and i could control my character pretty easily and with no real trouble except for lags but now... its just unplayable.
targeting is non existent camera control hangs and gets stuck all the time ,hell i can barely even move if i don't hold shift all the time even in boss fights? i looked every were and i couldn't find any walk/run toggle or any settings to improve my character control what so ever. Am i missing something or did the game get completely trashed in updates and its time to uninstall and forget this ever existed?

You can go into options and try turning graphics down to lowest and then adjust your controls to suit your play style.
It's hard to determine the reason of your issues, but I suggest trying to reduce all graphic settings and recheck settings in Controls→Advanced Settings first. If You are EU player - the game is now running on Premiere version instead of XE, so running/walking and sprinting are two separate things.
If You are running on Win10 - turn off "DVR" or w/e it's called, which may cost performance due to background recording. You might as well post your rid (hardware pieces). CPU is most important for Vindictus, especially strong cores.
My pc is just fine if i can raid in tera at full graphics so its pointless to go into details ( and i highly doubt vindictus is more of a beast then tera on graphics )
Processor/GPU downclocking.
Both Nvidia/AMD GPUs have power saving modes where it will downclock itself to save power if the driver thinks the application is not intensive enough to need the card running at full speed. Of course, the driver often make fails to make the correct decision. For example, my card on adaptive power mode will downclock itself to about 25% of it's max speed, which makes Vindi near unplayable FPS wise.
You can easily see if the GPU is downclocking itself by running vindi in full screen res and checking with a program like GPU-Z (sensor tab). I have had several friends who had FPS issues precisely because their GPU was downclocking.
Nvidia users can set the card to run at "maximum performance" in nvidia control panel, but i dont know how the AMD equivalent works and nobody i tried asking seems to have any clue either.
For the processor, make sure the processor is set to run at full speed in control panel-> power options. You should not set the intel integrated GPU to run at full speed....doing so might make your processor run a lot hotter when web browsing (as that often uses the integrated GPU) and will not improve performance at all since the game should be using your actual GPU, instead of your integrated card.
Did a quick google search and found this for AMD users. Haven't tried it myself but I'll give it a whirl and report back if there's a notable increase in my Radeon 6950's performance.
EDIT: Didn't see a real increase in fps, but I did notice that frame dips were a lot less frequent. Then again, my gpu is from 2010. Maybe people with more current AMD cards will see a better improvement.
