I recommend trying some of these troubleshooting steps to see if we can get your game running a bit faster: https://support.playstormgate.com/hc/en-us/articles/27719195062811-Why-is-the-game-so-slow-for-me

i adjusted my graphic settings down to 30 fps and from ultra which i was on default to high and this fix the lag i was experiencing in game. i also experence lag in co-op when playing with different players that could be just because of the ping or other players bad ping.

you better start making bot replacements for co op cause when some starts mining my minerals i going to leave and i do not want to rejoin the game. i been waiting for 30 minutes because some trolls mine my minerals and will not finishe the game

I had to figure out a way to get Stormgate acceptably playable on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y700 that I bought in 2016 lol! I sort of figured out a way though :) Here's how:

FYI for those wondering what specs my Lenovo is, its here:
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/lenovo-ideapad-y700-17-80q0001nus

I will note though, there is a slight difference between the specs there and my Lenovo Laptop > my 1 TB HDD did have to go since it broke (which, IMO, seems common for HDDs :) ). As such, my E: drive on my Lenovo is actually a 1 TB Samsung SSD 850 EVO.

But yeah, otherwise, this is what i did :)

>>>

1) I did keep the resolution in Stormgate on max for my pc ie resolution was kept at 1920 x 1080.
2) I lowered the 'Visual Quality' to 'Low'. I preferred this option over Medium as it did provide better performance. However, if you do want fairly significant better graphic quality, then yes consider putting this to Medium if you prefer.
3) I set 'Frame Rate Limit (Menu)' and ' Frame Rate Limit' both to 30 FPS. I found this did significantly improve performance with little impact on visual quality.

So, that all above stuff did help :) But, however, I went even further and did the following:

a) Since I fortunately have a large SSD as my 1 TB drive, I utilized creating a nice large Virtual Memory block to better my laptops performance. Its a little long winded how to do it, but, its something like this
> Go to 'Advanced System Settings' (can type into Win search bar to get there)
> Click the Settings button under the 'Performance' section
> Click the Advanced tab
> Click the Change button under the 'Virtual Memory' section
> Change the size of the virtual memory to something nice and big :) I think you ideally want to do this on the drive that you installed Stormgate on. Or, perhaps do this on your fastest drive you have (or perhaps the largest drive you have). Ideally though, if possible, on the drive that Stormgate is installed on, which happens to also be your largest, fastest drive :)
> And yes, set the size to something nice and big :) For me, I selected the 'Custom Size' option, setting 'Initial Size' to 15000 (15GB) and Max Size to 30000. Although really, I would say to even do 30000 and 60000 might make sense to.
> after setting this, restart your computer.

and besides doing a), I also did:

b) Increase Dedicated VRAM size by doing this:

> Essentially though, for me, I ended up doing:
> adding a 'GMM' key to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation'
> adding a 'GMM' key to ALSO 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global'
> I then added a DWORD to each of those GMM keys (naming the DWORD as 'DedicatedSegmentSize') with a value of 8192 (ie 8192 MB, or 8 GB).

> and restart your computer when done.


And then, after all that, magic happened and Stormgate ran quite well :D

Hope this post helps you! I found Stormgate very enjoyable for me after doing this, and I hope you experience the same ;)
