performance issues at about 250-300 people?

[GIGASLAYER]

Anyone else starting to get performance issues at this point? It's starting to make the game less fun. My specs are above recommended. Shame cus I just began to settle new territories and simply switching territories doesn't make it go away either.

Edit: Restarting my PC fixed this issue. Resources can't be hogged by other apps for this game.

Interesting. Can you list your PC specs?

[ArmedGhost-]

I am not surprised. Usually with settlement/city builder games, performance is going to start to drop as cities and population grow larger in size. Just how it is.

This. Almost every city builder game I play that is about population growth, will crawl over time based on your computer specs.

I find that this game runs well compared to other city builders.

City builders, with all the AI cycles/calculations to keep track of constantly, over time/growth tends to become CPU-bound.

So how large one can grow a city/population is typically based on how strong your CPU is. Particularly single-core performance. It's not about your GPU strength re: population/town sizes. Edit: having a zillion cpu cores doesn't help a lot if the game mostly utilizes only one of them.

My i9-9900k desktop CPU, at 800 or so population I'm still at solid 60fps/no stutter etc. I don't know when the fps/performance will drop for me, but if I keep growing a town/multiple towns, I'm sure it will drop like a stone at some point.

But yeah...it's an issue with a lot of modern 3d city builders.

lol, when I actually read that reddit thread, the guy has the same base pc specs as I do. So I guess I can assume it'd start to wobble at around 1500-2000 population and drop like a stone from there, at least while using 12x speed.

I've...yet to have a problem. And I had over 1k in one village, and around 500 or so in each region other then the barons 2, a few games ago.

i7 2700H, 3070Ti, and a whole 16 gigs of ram. That ram, like, this laptop was sold as a portable looter shooter mobile platform, and all it has is 16 gigs of ram >.>
Game on separate SSD from Windows, so that probably helps, cause at least they did different channels for the drives... Even though it came stock with a massive (hah), single, SSD at 200GB, so there goes a fourth of it for windows...

I mean, I did see SOME slow down, like my cap of 60FPS was actually the cap. Before that, bouncing around 80 or so.. But, it's... 60. That's just fine.

Edit: Ok, I'll admit. I'm old. I don't need super ultra higher then the eye can percieve deluxe HD or its ugly, 120FPS or its totally unplayable, so real I could reach out and touch it instead of actually going outside, level of gameplay. Especially coming from the era of 'Hot damn, this brand new 286AT is balling, with expanded AND extended ram, and a bloody 20MB hard drive. Like, I don't have to mess constantly with config.sys and autoexec.bat every time I want to do something, just part of the time now! MAGIC!'

You must mean 12700H?

[madpraxis]

I do, it ate my 1! I needed that 1.
But, yeah. Not particularly 'top of the line' for sure.

Not a bad CPU that one. I have a 12400F. The budget king.

It might be best if you start a new thread. I'll reply to it there.

Im rolling a i9-10850k and an Nvidia RTX 3080 and im having missive issues with performance after 300 people. Extreme lag and stuttering, even the music skips frequently. All my drivers are up to date. Maybe this will be fixed down the line.

Go to the Nvidia control panel and check your global settings. They may not be adjusted to maximise the game settings.
- and under the 3D settings, program settings you can set just this game to operate with different setting from the global standard.

- select the check box "show only programs found on this computer" and then look for Manor Lords (manorlords.exe). Check whats global and what can be "enhanced"
- All the anti-aliasing settings, CUDA, Power, multiframe, Texture filtering, threaded and buffering. Lots to optimize, to get the game running smooth.

- Tweaked to optimise or enhance the same settings the game wants to run with.

Just saying.

Still same issues even after NVIDIA control panel adjustments. Honestly no idea what the problem is. Never had this issue with any other game.

Only issue I have noticed is after a certain amount of population across all regions, your villagers seem to stop getting commands and hang around waiting for ages. Like it takes awhile for their turn at the AI to come back around. Hopefully this get's fixed in the future because it makes your villages break down and starve to death all of a sudden because markets stop supplying entirely.
