Low fps on top PC

[Norowind]

Bought dat game, get some low FPS on top PC, BUT only with environment jn battle arenas and on adventurer map. Units moves slice so the most process as well. But trees, circles under units on adventurer map and some other stuff - looks like 5 fps. I got GFX 1080, windows 10, 32 RAM... Can someone help with dat issue?

Same GPU, same problem. 5-6% GPU load, and 100% single core load on i7-7700k. Maybe someone can fix it?

turn off realistic water refloection helps: gfx_true_water_reflection = 0, and still have 5 fps in some "perspective" camera positon.

I had the same issue on good PC, and now I managed to have max performance
To do it simply follow these steps:

- run the game
- switch to windows (Alt + Tab)
- open task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
- go to Details tab (if you don't see it, click see more on the bottom to switch to advanced view)
- find heroes process on the list (eg. H5_GAME.EXE) right click on it to see the context menu (you can sort by name to make it easier)
- set priority to High
- set affinity and you will see N cores of our CPU all checked. This is too much for the old game, so keep only 1 checked (eg. CPU_1) and uncheck rest. So only one core is checked.
- go back to the game (Alt + Tab)

Enjoy the full graphic settings with smooth camera, full water effects with high fps!

My solution worked on laptop maybe you have different hardware or system

[või]

The tree animations and hero/creature aura are practically pixel shaders. For some reason they aren´t running as they should on newer computers and there is no solution for this for now and maybe ever.

I played HoMM5 and all dlcs from the release on 3 different PCs and zoomed out camera with 30 degrees angle ALWAYS dropped FPS to the ground

I just solved this issue by disabling the hardware cursor option. Hope this helps anybody else too.
