How Do I Fix Slow Motion Problem in DRAGON BALL Sparking ZERO on PC?

You’re playing DRAGON BALL Sparking ZERO, everything’s fine, and suddenly—slow motion hits. Frustrating, right? Let’s fix that. I’ll guide you through it in a way that’s easy to follow.

First off, if you’ve been tweaking the game’s settings, particularly the engine.ini file to boost FPS, this could be causing the issue. To resolve it:

Solution 1: Revert Changes to engine.ini File
Solution 2: For Laptop Users (Dual Graphics Cards)
Solution 3: For Desktop Users
Solution 4: NVIDIA Graphics Card Settings
Solution 5: Switch to Windowed Mode

Solution 1: Revert Changes to engine.ini File

Open File Explorer and go to This PC > C: Drive > Users > [Your Username] > AppData > Local > Sparking ZERO > Saved > Config > Windows.
Find the engine.ini file. Remove any custom entries you’ve added, save the file, and restart the game.

If that doesn’t solve it, let’s move to some more steps.

Solution 2: For Laptop Users (Dual Graphics Cards)

Type Graphics Settings into the Windows search bar and open it.
Click Add Desktop App, then locate the game’s executable file (.exe) by navigating through C: Drive > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Sparking ZERO.
Select the file, choose High Performance (NVIDIA) from the dropdown, and add it.
Repeat for any additional .exe files associated with the game.

Still in slow motion? Try this next.

Solution 3: For Desktop Users

Check your HDMI cable connection. If it’s connected to the motherboard’s slot, switch it to the dedicated graphics card slot. The motherboard uses integrated graphics, which could be slowing things down.

Solution 4: NVIDIA Graphics Card Settings

Right-click your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
Go to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings.
Add the game’s .exe file if it’s not listed.
Set the Maximum Frame Rate to either 60 or 30 FPS.
Make sure to hit Apply at the bottom.

Solution 5: Switch to Windowed Mode

If nothing else works, try switching the game to Windowed Mode. In the game’s graphics settings, change the resolution to something lower, like 1920 x 1080 or even less, if needed.

One of these methods should get the game running smoothly again. If it doesn’t, it might be time to check for updates or reach out to support.
