FAIL! The game is getting very slow if I have many units

[ColdDeath]

When I have many units on a map, then game becomes slow

ya, i remember that happening years ago. The game doesn't have a unit cap. u can make as many units as you your computer can handle. its up to your computer

[ColdDeath]

This behaviour applied to campaign and skirmish. It is hard to play slow game.
When I set game speed to max, then it still slow.

actually, it's up to the game engline and how it processes that many moving objects at a time, RA2 used to slow down like that back then, and these days, i have a much better computer, but the engine still causes slow down at roughly the same number of units

[ColdDeath]

But on the map only me and one computer,
I have only 7 tesla tanks, 10 troopers.
Computer have 15 tanks and 24 troopers
And it's all. Game can't work with this amount of units))

We are in 2020, the remastered version should have been solved this problem!!! We are not in 1995!

With these few units it sounds like a client side issue. Just went through a nightmare of a campaign without any speed issues -- had at least 40 infantry out at one point along with at least 10 vehicles while they had at least 30+ units combined.

this must be the issue of the game, no deal with what computer we are using. mine got slow too when there are more then 20 tanks fighting. and the deal is: not only the speed of the game get slow, but also some other issue like building cannot plant on ground, cannot start building. this only happened during fight, after fight, everything running perfect.
so i guess this game tried to tell me that dont fight, lol.

Intel Core i9-10980XE with nVidia RTX 2080 Ti is very bad for this game?))))

Yeah, everything is getting slow: units moving, building process and etc.

What resolution are you running the game at?

It's very likely that the devs don't bother to 'touch' the original code at all other than sprucing up the 'visuals' for graphics... That's it.

This means internally the game's engine can only run as good as the computer in the past... Regardless of what hardware you got.

The only fix is hard modding this game to operate better, but that requires hacking into the core source file, which I doubt EA wants you to tamper with.

Open RA is still superior in every aspect over this, upon checking out this game's files and folders it turns out you are essentially 'emulating' the classic game with a new skin and better audio :P

Game data still uses the 'CD' folders for their assets, and there is a freaking 'setup' executable left in there.
