Performance issues

[WYRSCH]

So I'm looking for help with performance of this game. Is it really that bad optimized?

System:
i7-4790k @ 4.0GHz
NVIDIA GTX 1080
16GB RAM
SSD
Windows 10

What is the problem that I get about 15-30 FPS when having about 200 soldiers. That's ridiculous...Anything I could do?

nah the games trash

[discombobulated1]

your ovi on the intergrated gpu make sure your using the 1080

[WYRSCH]

Well every other game runs perfectly fine like GTAV, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, AC Odyssey...Definitely using the 1080, not the igpu...

[discombobulated1]

it seems to be for this game though

[WYRSCH]

Hmm...Checked again, it's definitely using the 1080 not the iGPU...

Do you recommend any similar games that were released in past 5 years?

[discombobulated1]

not really bud rts's at the moment all seem to be lacking IMHO

[WYRSCH]

Yeah I see. I went back to Stronghold 2 now. Crusader 2 is unplayble...
I hope Stronghold Next will be something good like Stronghold 2

Played this game quite a bit with pretty much the same setup. The problem is the software not your hardware.

The game sometimes acts as if it has a memory leak that gets worse the longer you play the game, I thought game programmers got rid of them in the '90's and the devs swear that isn't the problem. Despite that, it still ACTS like a memory leak.

My solution for playing single player and the speed slowing down is to save the game, then exit the entire game, restart, then reload the saved game. I posted that solution a LONG time ago and the feedback from it was mixed - sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

As Achilleslastand stated, it's the program & not your hardware.

Multiplayer is a different story. Sometimes the game would slow down to the point of being unresponsive just as a major battle started and all you could do was watch as your entire army got slaughtered. I played with the same group of players and which player got hit with the lag was completely random and had nothing to do with who had a better internet connection or hardware.

No optimization or collision detection in single player and a more stable connection for multiplayer are the most important items that I hope they include in the next version of Stronghold. They shoud look to StarCraft 2 as an inspiration on how to make a stable and fully functional RTS game.

I have i5 6600k 16GB ddr4 ram and Rx 480 8G and I can't play this game because of same problem. I'll never pre order new stronghold game ever, they can't optimize games.
