A very wierd performence issue | Forums

[JoeSirHenson]

Hi all, here's my problem I know for a fact I can play this game on highest settings and shud not lag but I used fraps to see my fps and I was gettin 8-6 fps This is at the highest settings.....Then I put everything on lowest and still the same fps and still the same performence. I mean its playable but not playable enough for me to enjoy the game. Here are my system specs- Oh ye and I have the latest graphics drivers.

AMD AM2 64 SOCKET 940 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

1 GIG 1022MB WITH DDR 2 RAM

NVDIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256mb with ddr 3 memory XFX EDITION (FULLY OVER CLOCKED).

I think with those specs I shud be able to play at highest and not get 8-6 fps....

Same here, my system is even better! I got an AMD X2 4800Mzh, 2 gigs of ram and a EN7950GX2 with 1 gig of ram but i only get an instant 10 frames shown with fraps. thats a joke!!! i can play it but its no real fun, its just a lame piece of ****!

first, is it the SP demo or the MP thats giving the framerate problems? as a reference, i get silky smooth gameplay on SP but tooka huge hit with MP, even with no units on the map.

considering that the MP version of the engine is supposedly much more mature, this is a tad alarming. the framerate hit really makes the game feel arcadish. others have experienced the same.

THAT is weird. I had almost no lag for the whole time I played the SP demo.
And I don't even have a super computer like most of us.

Intel Pentium 4 @ 2660 MHz

Ati Technologies Inc Radeon X800 Pro with 256 MB memory

1024 MB (2 x 512 DDR-SDRAM PC2700 @ 166 MHz)

Guys I understand your anger. With such a computer and getting 10 frames? Thats a joke. Strangely enough with my 3500+, 1 gb of memory and a 7800gtx everything is mostly smooth. Could it be that the problem is the dual core?

[Prattboy9394]

i dont think its a dual core issue. i got a AMD64 3000+/1gig/7800gtx. methinks it might be due to the much increased unit count and extra netcode in MP. also the MP, since it was newer, does Fog oF War a bit different. instead of dimming out the unseen, theres a hazy fog effect. not sure if that might have an effect.

i'm mostly a SP player so as long as the release has smooth SP, i'll still pick up the game, unless ToW comes out first...thats a though call.

i think it's a bug of demo ! In singleplayer i have 20 fps average with opteron @3Ghz , 1 Go ram @ 300mhz et 7900 @ 700/1800 ! 12000pts in 3D06

Hmmm yep this is wierd, hopefully it will be fixed.
