Hello ladies!

I have made this obervation too. It is due to the background clips which only run at a max of like 30 fps which caps all menues to that.
After I realised this, I renamed the videos which play in the background (or delete them) which unlocks the refresh rate. You can find the video files under
/steam/steamApps/common/company of heroes 2/coh2/movies
The vlc-player can open the files (.webm) so you can go through them and see if it is one that you need to rename/delete.
I'm currently looking for a way to just replace these files with a picture/screenshot but I haven't made any progress.
If you remove/rename the files the background will be black but the menues are a lot more responsive and should refresh at the maximum possible frame rate.
Let me know if this helps and if you need any more help

Well it helps on some menus screens. The only menu screen it dosen't help, is the "Start searching" for automatch screen. Here i only have 15-20 no matter if there is a video or not.

I've been saying this since beta. There was a change that suddenly made it laggy, so I don't think it is entirely to do with the background videos. It was probably a framerate cap that was put on it so as not to strain the GPU while idling in the menu. But the cap is far too low. Sorry I cannot help you, but I think this is something Relic needs to change.

As a graphic and UX designer I have to admit that you're some kind of right.
Many things are well hidden while others are available with a single click but not needed at all.
I always ask myself: Why is there a slider for the menu opacity?
If you want to watch the background videos you can simply enter the folder where they are located.
It is though God by command has withdrawn every other throne.
And God is saying 'No. These people will deal with me alone.'

My pleasure. If anyone knows how to save something like an image in the format that coh2 uses for the background videos, please let me know. Maybe we can create a little mod with some nice fan-art backgrounds or screenshots.

I wish the took the background from the Theater of war (the night time one with the search lights and AA guns in the background). Then they should added this music to it
Cap the video at 60fps and get rid if the HUGE box that shows update information in it, it makes the menu laggy and run even slower, instead put updates as an expandable or transparent text box kind of like the chat system.
