Win 10. Low framerate, about 20 FPS

Help fix pls

This is a fairly obvious suggestion, but have you tried lowering the graphics?

I'll try 2, but I suppose this won't solve the problem due to the fact that the defaults are low-medium

Except that it clearly isn't. ANYTHING should run this game. Its specs is a 128mb graphics accelerator card. Not even the lowliest of potatoes should have trouble running this game, even the lowliest potato PC is going to have at least a 1gb VRAM graphics card, even a GT 710 which is literal ewaste not even good enough as old integrated graphics would have no problem. The fault clearly lies elsewhere than performance but I'm not sure what's doing it, although considering I had to delete a config.lua whatever file just to get the "you need at least DirectX 9 capable graphics card" warning to go away, I suspect it is driver related.

I should point out, that even if getting single digit fps on medium settings in a game from 2009 wasn't obvious enough, that I can get Tropico 4 to run ultra settings no problems. Only Tropico 6 is on the edge with this machine. So I'm not sure what is doing it, unless it's so old there's some config settings I need to change because the engine hadn't anticipated 1080p with 4gb VRAM or something. I did have one game perform poorly at ultra from that period, Witcher 2, but that was because it had one setting that let you render the entire game multiple times.

Nevermind it's partly because nVidia sometimes sets Tropico 3 to automatically use "integrated graphics" in the settings. So I'm leaving this behind for the next person who, if they try and run it and don't understand why their recentish GPU ain't running it at ultra, is because it's automatically detecting this as something to run iGPU for in nVidia control panel and I'd bet you that's what's happening for people on older AMD cards too.

Which I guess makes all this pointless because for most people if they DO have that happen it's probably going to be at the point where even their laptop APU is running this thing smoothly. I kinda wanna test if an Ivy Bridge desktop processor can run this on iGPU now. Also it's a lucky find if you're having problems running some older game try going into GPU control panel and checking to see that it's set to run dedicated graphics. I just had it on global settings so it never crossed my mind to check that.

Well thank you
Since that moment I've changed both my GPU and CPU so I can check the performance again
