Deadliest Warrior Devs Purposefully Ruined The Games Mechanics

[Cionow]

-Textures take forever to load
-Animations are choppier
-US Servers are completely gone
-The game is much laggier

Also NO new content has been added the game was fine a few months ago, but then they started releasing "updates" which slowly made the game unplayable to kill it off

The devs haven't made any updates to CDW for a long, long time. Valve made some changes to share certain common files between games, which prompted many games to get "upated" in Steam even though their devs hadn't touched anything:

It's possible you might fix any issues by deleting your config files and starting again, or re-installing. You might have a problem with your own computer - something taking up resources when you're trying to play - check your CPU using and run a program called LatencyMon for a driver check. (Also check your FPS in the game before and after any changes.)

I'll ask about the US CDW servers. The EU servers all appear to be up.

You lost settings because that happens with games based on the UE3 engine when the time changes to/from Daylight Saving Time (so it happens twice a year).

I don't think the problem is on my end as I have a high end PC, as well do my 4 friends who are all reporting the same issues as me. We played this game consistently during this transition period and the game has been changed significantly performance and graphics wise. My computer was also recently reset so I do not think this is a client side issue. There also has been significantly less people in the last few months playing deadliest warrior, it use to have a strong, small ~10 player community regularly on in early 2019. Thank you for asking about the US CDW servers. I would specifically appreciate US Eastern servers as that is where me and my friends play and where most of the community seemed to join servers for when it was up. I know there is about a dozen European servers but those have pings of 120-180 so they are completely unplayable in the US, it would make a lot of sense to take atleast two of those dozen EU servers and dedicate it to the US so people in the US and Canada can playy

The devs are really busy on Chivalry 2 and have been for the last 2 years so I am certain they didn't make any updates to CDW in that time. I'll check with Roag as well since he's our CDW expert.

What about your FPS in game, though? Have you got the .ini edits to have a 120 FPS max instead of the default 62? Are you consistently getting 120?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_thaK4Bp9Ws&t=0s I made a video showing how laggy the game feels and looks after the recent update, its a shame because it was my favorite medieval game. All they need to do is revert whatever changes they made

As mentioned above the game haven't recieved any updates, but when you want to talk performance 1 post specs of you PC it can help us in what direction we should be looking to help 2 if you record a vid then enable Steam their fps counter, that way de can see if your FPS is table or not 3 also tell what your ping is, like in the vid someone has above 100 ping these things actually do affect how the game feels etc.

[Cionow]

As far as FPS and other performance goes we have to at least be able to test it on a US server. If they could dedicate atleast 2 of the dozen EU servers to the US (one being eastern) that would work

[Car Guy]

It's small but the fps is in the top right and it stays at about 62 constantly and my pc specs are: geforce RTX 2070, intel core i7-9700k 3.6ghz, and 32gb of ddr4 ram so I have way more than enough to run the game smoothly and I have at least 100 hours on deadliest warrior and the game has never felt like this even on 200 ping.

I posted some timestamps in the comments of the video that show how bad the game currently is and it was never like that in the past.
