Serious Performance issues

[𝖘0𝖙𝖆]

This perfromance is apauling, I have a GTX 1050ti, i7 7700HQ , 16GB RAM PC and I can't handle 64 bots, FPS drops all the way down to 15 nearly unplayable.

Even on 48 to 32 bots performance is horrible.

Ravenfield is way more resource heavy and runs 1000x better than this game.

I'm considering refund if this doesnt get sorted out to be completely honest, although the game has potential.

I'm sorry to hear you're have difficulties running Brass Brigade.

It is recommended to turn down the CPU Time sliders for bots in order to increase performance. If these are not reduced for your setup already; they should automatically reduce themselves as the bot count increases though. Disabling the "Render Bot Shell Casings" options in the Settings menu also helps reduce physics calculations, which may increase performance.

I also see that you're running an i7 7700HQ, which if memory serves, is a laptop processor. If you're using a laptop, please ensure that your laptop is plugged in (not running on battery alone) and that your power plan is set to "High Performance."

Brass Brigade is a CPU intensive game as that's where AI is processed. I'm always looking to improve performance (and I have more work in the pipeline focused on this), but I cannot guarantee that future updates will resolve your issue. The game is developed on an i7 7700K & 1080Ti primarily for reference, and that runs ~100-150 bots at their default settings around 60FPS.

I wish I could offer more help at this; Steam's refund policy is there if you feel it's appropriate. I appreciate your feedback, and thank you for trying Brass Brigade.

Thanks for the reply man, yeah I have my laptop plugged in all the time on high performance and everything is updated, tweaked and set up for highest gaming performance.

Ill try those options but is there any other way to achieve a playable fps count in the future?

Like I said, on the systems I test on, I get a much higher frame-rate than what you're reporting, so I don't know if something else is at play. I'm constantly tweaking the bot AI to try to squeeze out more performance, but this has to be balanced against new features and the performance they require. I can't make any guarantees about whether or not it will perform at a level satisfactory to you in the future.

The game has only been out for ~2 weeks, so I have to balance content delivery with performance needs. The speed at which these are developed is dictated by what the community wants, and currently, I see more requests for content than performance adjustments, so that's what's taking up the majority of my development for now. If this changes over time, I'll do my best to align my development goals with the community's wants.

Thanks again for the feedback and thank you for playing.

I hope that the developer can solve your problems!
Like you said the game has potential, but there are some issues with the game that need solving.
