How to fix EE fps issue and improve performance!

[LNC_GoldenAxe]

V-sync works for single player but not for online multiplayer. What v-sync does is that it synchronize the FPS of your gpu with what your monitor can handle.

-First, start Steam and go to Settings, then click "In-Game" and under "In-game FPS counter" select "Top-left".

-Start EE and join a multiplayer game, you'll notice that the your FPS is way above your 60Hz monitor(60hz meaning your monitor can only handle 60fps). Basically all those frames are being wasted, causing your gpu to overheat and reducing the life span of it.

-Next, check the label on the back of your monitor to confirm it's a 60Hz monitor.

-Nvidia Profile Inspector v2.1.3.2, this program will cap your frames at 60fps, you can download it from here:

-When you start the program, at the top enter a profile name("AoM: EE").
--->Find Frame Rate Limiter and change it to 60Hz.
--->Then click Apply change in the upper right hand corner.
--->Launch EE, go to Settings and turn off V-Sync.
--->Now try multiplayer, you'll notice the FPS is capped at 60fps.

Enjoy!

Hi.. thanks for this tip..

I saw few mods in the workshop which claim to improve fps or performance.. but cant make sure which of them work.
I have an older laptop which lags sometimes even in single player with more than 2 players and larger battles, or with max zoom out.

Can anyone with better knowledge of game software give me a list of mods which are known to help with performance.
And also the sequence of changing in game settings to improve performance can also be added here to make this the go to thread.
