# Cutscene videos not hardware accelerated??

As many other users I am experiencing the typical cut scene lag. As compression artifacts are easily perceptible I suspect that they are pre-rendered videos that are not being hardware accelerated for some reason I.E. proprietary non-standard codecs. Any news on this issue?? Given the pricing of the game I think we are entitled to a properly detailed answer on the issue with patch timings.
PD.: I am really tired of muting and reading subtitles when a cutscene comes. I am just asking for flawless video playback is that too much??

  They have acknowledged the isse and have said they are working on a fix but so far they have only solved the issue on XBONE which **** me off as i pre-ordered this for PC (dont play consoles) and love to follow up story. I have just stopped doing the story based missions so far. Dont want to see the whole story as slideshow cutscenes i cant make any information from. And by hearing they are pre-rendered makes me even more **** of this. Why should a video file lag like that when the rest of the game runs just fine on ultra settings? They need to get their coders working, this is ridiculous as the game has been out for 2-3 days worldwide now. And it was even known in the beta version.

  It's funny because I had no problem with the cutscenes in the beta. It seems the video playback is the problem, as you said, because the hint screen on the top right corner of the skill tree also lags. I finished the story, but I'm going to wait for the fix to start a new game.

  same here, no problem during the beta cutscene, with the same hardware.
