Low FPS on Stronghold Crusader 2 [Possible Fix]

[Captain Blake]

Hey guys

as allot of other people i buyed SC2 this Christmas. After the first start i recognised a huge FPS loss (av. 12-20, doesnt matter which settings)
I googled allot and people say that i need to switch the Nvidia settings (3d settings) to high performance mode. But i dont have such a dropdown menu in the 3d settings so i just played arround with my normal settings, tried allot of stuff but nothing worked. At least i got a fps "boost" of 3 maybe 4 fps more.

What i tried:

After:

• Changed arround 3D settings - worked
  
• Changed the grafics of the Game (min to max) - worked
  
• Googled the ♥♥♥♥ out of the game so i can try anything possible - worked

What helped me out:

So i thought about my Rig and some "known" problems of it, and i came to the idea to setup some startup options on Steam for SC2.

Because i got an AMD FX6100 OC (4,1GHz) and i know that some Bulldozer (6x) Cores got some problems with some games that dont "detect" all possible Cores, i added:
-thread 6 (6 for my Core amount )

And also because the game isnt the newest one and allot of (older AND newer as well) Games run better on 32bit systems i changed the bit-mode from SC2:

-32bit ( just works on 64 bit systems )

With both changes i got arround 70-80 Fps total with High settings.
I hope i was able to solve someone's FPS problems as well :)

PS: sorry for the basic english... :P

[Captain Blake]

Try to add: -32bit
to your Game-startup settings on Steam.

I have tried unparking/using all 8 cores with my FX-8350 with no difference in performance especially in multiplayer.
Detailed instructions on how to start the game in 32bit please?

[Captain Blake]

Libary -> select Stronghold Cruisader 2 -> properties -> Startoptions: -32bit
Start... like i said 2 Times before dude :P
