not optimized?

[f.meussen]

I mean game only uses 42 % of my GPU , i want a 99% usage. ( and much higher fps )
The CPU is NOT a bottleneck BTW , also used for 26% max.

So i hope i am doing something wrong and/or fix will come but this is a big NO for me. ( nice concept and theme but lousy engine/graphics is a big NO GO for me )

Yeah, isn't well optimized. I notice even on high there's no anti-aliasing.

It's weird because Syrian Warfare, a game on which engine this game is running, has anti-aliasing and the game runs like 70% better and only looks like 20% worse/older.

Those original devs were probably more experienced with the engine than the new ones that had to take over which might explain the horrible performance.

I don't know if the game just loves radeon, but I've been running on Ultra at 1440p with a 5800x3D / 5700XT and pretty much constantly at 60fps or more. Using Linux + ProtonGE, though.

I benchmarked a skirmish myself, added it to the review. We have very similar setups, and the thing is that we both have quite powerful single-core performance. It's still only one core, though.

The advantage with the GPU is that one can use higher graphical settings and still get similar FPS, the GPU, as far as I can tell, is quite well utilized.

It is fair to criticize the performance of this game, it is accurate to say that it's single threaded, but it is short-sighted in a genre where we have so many other games performing even worse.

Yeah the one core CPU usage needs to be fixed. I think the game is great otherwise. But playing between 45 and under 30 FPS isn't the one. Funny thing is the game doesn't even utilise your best physical core either.

Hi, not an expert on anything, but I've observed the launching of GreyGoo and Homeworld Remastered.

In both games the developers were attacked mercilessly and, due to the time we wait a new RTS to be released, I wouldn't advise to wait until the game is 100% neither to ask for refund.
The less money you bring in, less solutions they will have.

I don't have a better suggestion, but financial boycott is not a solution.
Also, I'm not a DEV of the game or their friend, As my avatar shows my main interests are RTS games and we have to be more creative on how to demand improvements.

Given most of the posts happened one month ago, maybe now the game is better, but for me it's still lagging sometimes.
