TS19 64-Bit Laggy as F*ck

[CoasterKeegan]

Hi. i have so much lag on the ts19 64-bit edition. does anyone have the same issue?

yes.. nice

[CoasterKeegan]

my frame rate on all my routes is 15 fps. WTF DTG!!!!!!!

I've just done a 70 minute and an 85 minute run using two different routes in 64 bit and the game is running very smoothly. No lag or stuttering at all.

Hi.
We're finding that, for some people, nvidia control panel is launching railworks64.exe with integrated graphics options. If you're experiencing very poor FPS in Train Simulator 2019 64-Bit, this may be the cause. We recommend you check your nvidia control panel settings.

Aah! I'm getting abysmal frame rates on my laptop- it has an AMD Radeon chip but perhaps I have the same problem.

Sorry, but I highly doubt that this is related to 'integrated (Intel) graphics'. Yes, that is an issue with ANY game, but fact is, while the 64-bit version might run smoother on many routes for many scenarios, the game will not suddenly run FASTER (create more FPS).

A PC that is optimally configured and ran TS20xx in 32-bit will find almost no FPS/frametime improvements.

You will get the same 15FPS in the first ICE scenario on the Frankfurt Highspeed Route. Equally, many scenarios and routes will behave the same.


A bigger field, does not make one horse run faster.


More System Memory Adress Space, does not make the game run in faster cycles. It just eliminates waiting time, if the memory flushing/updating slowed down the PC.

Only ONE of many more reasons for what happens between two drawcalls.

The framerate improvements are in the area where people can now max their graphics out, if they could not before. Especially, view distance, amount and complexity of objects does not drop the framerate/frametime to a crawl in some routes.

Turning off "Dynamic Lighting" is stil the ONE (almost) guaranteed way to improve framerates from 15 to 30-50-60+ ... but at the high cost of TS20xx looking like MSTS from 2000.

Sadly some users have and will find that Nvidia Control Panel has set the 64-Bit version of TS2019 to use their integrated graphics rather than their dedicated graphics card/chip as it does not recognise the new 64-Bit .exe. It will launch the 32-Bit version correctly however.

Having the same issues on some routes with my RX 480 8GB, but thanks for the information Daniel, not sure what the issue could be on the AMD side but my GPU seems to not be being used alot bouncing around to 30% and 90% CPU use is about 40% max too

[SprattyHeath]

If it helps, try removing the program from the Nvidia Settings list, see if that helps.

Surely the best way is to set the BIOS to disable Integrated Graphics and check in Device Manager that the discrete card is selected.
Enter BIOS Setup.
Go to Advanced Menu.
Go to Chipset Configuration Menu.
Go to Internal Graphics Menu.
Set the Internal Graphics Mode to Disable or choose PEG/PCI instead of Auto or IGFX. ...
If you also have a Multi Monitors option set this to disable. (optional)

I recently purchased TS 2019 and wish I had looked at these sorts of posts beforehand. I didn't realize I was purchasing a simulator that performs more poorly that FSX Steam. On some routes I get descent fps but on others I get fps as low at 13. And that is with everything turned down to minimum settings and unchecked. I don't understand the reason for the various settings if reducing them does not improve performance. This seems to be a case of poor coding as the frames drop drastically when scenery is loading, even with the 64 bit version. Hopefully DTG will put out an update, anything to improve the performance of this flawed simulator.

Hello John W, I note from your other Steam posts you have a powerful GPU system. Please make sure you allow TS2019 'full control' of your GPU and not the other way around, which can cause TS2019 performance problems. Set your graphics settings using TS 2019 in-game menu settings, don't use your GPU Nvidia control settings game profile to control TS, leave those settings to 'Application Controlled' where that choice exits. That should reduce the chance of any conflicting graphic settings impacting TS performance. Also make sure you don't have other back-ground programs running when playing TS, that may impact general PC performance.
The following link may also be of interest to you regarding 'correct signal' set-up between your GPU and monitor.

Thank you for the information. The only thing I have set up in Nvidia Inspector is to limit the frame rate to 30. This seems to help with the loading on my GPU, otherwise my GPU gets pegged out at nearly 100%. Everything else is set to application controlled. But, in reviews I've read on TS 2019 the reviewers seem to confirm what I stated. The issue is with the TS engine and how it loads scenery. My frames are good most of the time, depending on the route I am using, but regardless while driving any route the frames drop into the teens whenever scenery is loaded then jump back up to normal. So thank you again, but I don't really think there's much I could do to improve the performance on my system to compensate for how the TS software loads scenery.
