1 FPS, In need of Solution, game is unplayable help please.

[Achino]

Played the alpha was all fine, Beta is unplayable. It is such a great game.


What I have tried so far:


Via NVIDIA Control panel > 3D settings and switched to the NVIDIA graphic card instead of the intergrated.

Via NVIDIA Control panel > 3D settings tried to force on vsync and Triple buffering.

Via my antivirus (avast) and firewall excluded cube world.

Turned it off and on again.

Update Drivers.

Run CCleaner.

Registry within CCleaner to repair files.

Tried numerous setting changes within the cube world option menu.

At this point, I am clueless and looking for help. Anyhelp is much appriciated.

Are other 3d applications running correctly? What version is your nVidia graphics driver? If you don't have the latest driver, you can try installing 436.30 from geforce.com.

edit: sorry, i missed where you said you updated drivers. Let me think about it a bit and I'll post back asap.

Do you get the low frame rate on the main menu or only after starting gameplay?

First of all, with those specs you shouldn't have any problems running at stable 30+ (I have a similar setup).
I see you mentioned few problems that i would to fix to be honest, even if they could be considered "controversial" by some people. PM me about that if you want to hear me out.

When you open game, open task manager, double check that cube world runs on nVidia (GPU 1 instead of GPU 0).
Some games have double launching, making nvidia panel believe that game was launched using one GPU, but in reality it's just launcher and game needs additional nvidia panel settings to go with to use nVidia properly.
Also, do you use AC or battery? using AC for gaming is usually prefered because of how windows and most default settings work forcing your laptop go into "power saving" mode of sorts, slowing your system.

Try run game in window mode. That helped me. There is a bug i think.

[[Kobe Squad] Kulshius]

nVidia M series in general prefer window mode over fullscreen (borderless too), so that would probably help too. but if issue is slideshow fps, i don't see how that helps unless rendering engine is broken

Leave the area.
The NPC pathfinding apparently gobbles resources like there's no tomorrow, if you're near a village, get the hell out.

Doesn't that make game a bit redundant?
I mean, it's a solution allright, but you kind of need to go to towns...

A proper solution would require wollay to optimize this game. It doesn't really make much sense that it chugs so hard to begin with, there's nothing intensive about it. Until then you'll just have to do some morbid hit&run tactics where you talk to everyone in the village and run for the safety of your frames

Well, pathfinding can be quite intensive CPU chug tbh. It all depends how it's done and it doesn't mean bad optimisation, might be just too advanced or too complex approach.

In menu it is between 10-50 not that smooth, In the game it drops to really low fps (1-5).

Double checked it and yes it runs on Nvidia GPU1.
Using AC indeed, in my windows settings I changed the power saving mode what is should be without slowing my system down.

I'll PM you thanks for your time much appriciated.
