Still no fix for ridiculous menu lag and load times?

[Barack_Lesnar]

It's literally taking 2-5 minutes to open a menu like inventory or troops and to close it. Last I clocked it the game took 20 minutes to load a battle. and takes between 5-20 minutes to load from launch. I have it on an SSD and exceed all recommended specs.

I played this on an i9 OC'ed, 32GB RAM, 1660TI, M.2 SSD, still took at least a full minute to load a menu or a scene, this is the game not the users build.

Really, because once I upgraded my PC all the menu lag stopped.

I exceed the recommended specs in every way. Upgrading to the beta has helped, a very tiny amount. Still ridiculous lag everywhere. It's at the point where I hit load save and go fix a snack while I wait.

i get the lag too, opening inventory, party screen etc. also lag spikes in battle before my weapon makes contact with enemies, random times in battle just riding around, also on the campagin map while my army is moving about but not when standing still. gtx 1070 i7-7700HQ, 16gb ram

Close background applications and disable background downloads on Steam. Anything that is accessing your hard drive other than Bannerlord will drastically affect performance.

Beta 1.6.2 here

i7 4790k @ 4.6ghz
RTX 2060
16gb DDR3 2133mhz
1tb Crucial MX500 SSD.

I have no problem with the game running smooth for 90% of the time, other than battles and some hiccups here and there.

However a few patches ago (maybe it was the 1.5.9 version?) opening menus, leaving towns, etc would essentially freeze the application for a few seconds. But since then I havent experienced it, but still nowhere near the minutes youre experiencing. Saving, loading etc takes maybe 1 second at the most.

I have found that Battle.net running in the background sometimes causes 2 FPS in all menus and even in combat sometimes. That seems to be one notable culprit. It doesn't always fix the issue, but sometimes closing it does.

I was going to get back into the game after more than a year away from it, but having now tried every solution listed to get rid of the map/menu lag I just can't. I can't for the life of me remember that it was this bad the last time I played. Stuttering every few seconds on the campaign map is unacceptable honestly, and up to 10 seconds of lag everytime you try to open the inventory/party menu.

My computer is in general fairly old, running an old i7 and gtx 980ti. But even at the lowest settings I can't run this game without lag in specifically the campaign map and menus, while I can without problems run the witcher 3, Warzone, and basically any other high end game without the slightest bit of stuttering at high settings.

I get that it's early access, but I can't for the life of me figure out how the ♥♥♥♥ you make menus with just an inventory system lag the game more than full 3D combat with 500 npcs...

What version of the game? I had that issue with the last stable patch I played (I think 1.5.9 or 1.5.10) but the beta versions have been solid in that regard.

Seems like I am the only one who knows how to help optimize peoples games..

Okay this is going to sound not so nice but will be trust me, already another person found that this has helped.

First what you want to do is to try and limit power output to the GPU you need to first check how many Frames per-second your Monitor can handle.

1. [Right-Click on Desktop], next go to
2. [Display Settings], then at the bottom click on
3. [Advance display settings] you'll see "Refresh rate (Hz)"

If it says that is 60hz then that is all you need for refresh rate on Bannerlord no need to generate anymore power to refresh your frames any faster than 60 as that is normal typical human being refresh rate.

After,
4. [right-click] on the Desktop again, and go to your
5. [Graphic control panel], mine is NVIDIA Control Panel under
6. [3d Settings] click on
7. [Manage 3D Settings] then select
8. [Program Settings]
9. [Select a program to customize]
10. [Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord] Launcher
11. [Add]

After all this, ajust
12. [Max Frame Rate] to 58 FPS if not already. Be sure Vertical sync is turned off.

You'll noticed that your GPU may not heat up as much. This is just one optimization out of many to keep your computer from over heating, even with the best graphics card 1000 man battles are a lot for a Computer at times.

Hope this has helped. Also recommend that you download the game on an SSD as there is constant rendering from the drive that has to happen, and if the game is on a HHD loading screens maybe longer than if you had the game installed on SSD.

why would battle.net be running?

1.6.1

Perhaps using the newer beta version is better, but I'm already fed up honestly, I already spent about an 1,5h on this today. Maybe I'll be back in 5 years when the game is ready for release. I got other ♥♥♥♥ to play in the meanwhile. Thanks for the tip though.
