FPS Decrease

[Monaldinio]

Dear developers.
On the one hand, I would like to tell you that I really like Ara and actually spend too much time playing it. I even play during my lunch break, which has already cost me 3 kg of weight 😅.

On the other hand, when it comes to FPS performance, I notice a big drop in FPS during a game. So I always have to adjust the graphics settings. Example: After 75 moves, the FPS fell by an average of 15FPS. after 150 moves another 15 FPS. Of course, the map fills up with more details (graphics settings: everything is set to high, but "direct shading only" is set). But that can't be the case. How will this develop until round 300? Still image? This urgently needs to be improved. So a long game, and Ara is designed that way, makes no sense and isn't much fun.

Radeon Pro Vega 64 - 16GB HBM2 VRam (recommended GPU)
10C/20T Intel Xeon W CPU - Turbo Boost 4,5 GHz / 23,75 MB Cache
64GB DDR4 RAM
Win 10 (all updates)

With the end of Act2 it is getting even on low settings (without shading and no shadows!) on small maps unplayable. I guess 20 FPS or less.

Ryzen 5700X 8C/16T (better than recommendation)
RTX 2070 XC Ultra (on par with recommended high 1080ti)
32 GB DDR-3200
Win11 24H2

Oh my God, why would I keep playing with these prospects?

Imho for honest rec. specs:

1080p high: 4070 or more
1440p high: 4080
4k: 4090

These hardware requirements are crazy for an 4x turn based game. So far I've never had any problems with strategie games. And buying a new PC just because of ARA is out of the question. Then it's better to go back to Civ5 or 6 (with terrain mod)...or humankind. Wich looks also nice.

This game really does struggle. It is so choppy.

Yes, but why telling us, you can play it on a GTX970? Thats why I bought it.

Thank you for letting us know! We hope this has been resolved by the recent updates. Closing it for now, but let us know if the issue persists.
