Fix: Street Fighter 6 Slow Motion Issue on PC

The chances are high that there are a couple of potential reasons applicable behind the slow-motion issue with Street Fighter 6 on the PC. Such as incompatible graphics settings in the game menu, an outdated game version, an outdated graphics driver, corrupted or missing game files, a lack of dedicated graphics, v-sync issues, display resolution and scaling issues, etc. Luckily, here we’ve shared with you possible workarounds to easily fix this issue.

1. Reboot the PC

Before going into any other workaround, you might restart the PC manually to ensure there is no temporary glitch present in the system. In most cases, foreground, as well as background running applications, can trigger several issues with the gaming performance whatsoever.

2. Adjust In-Game Graphics Settings

Another possible reason is that Street Fighter 6 looks slow because of the lower frame rate settings. You should keep the FPS limit to 60 or higher depending on the PC configuration. But 60 FPS is optimal for better gaming performance. Additionally, you should lower some in-game graphics settings and turn off V-Sync to increase gaming performance. To do so:

• Open Street Fighter 6 > Go to the Multi-Menu option.
• Go to Options > Click on Graphics > Select Basic Graphic Settings.
• Then set Maximum Frame Rate to 60.
• Now, set Display Mode to Fullscreen > Choose VSync to Off.

• Click on Confirm (Press F) and relaunch the game to check for the issue.

After doing such settings, your overall gaming experience will be much faster and smoother.
