F.A.Q. - My performance is low - what do I do?

[OpCode90]

Hey everyone - here's a quick FAQ on getting the game to run better on your machines. I'll update it as we make changes to the game.

1. Make sure you meet the minimum specifications for the game.

Operating System: Windows 7 (or higher) and a 64bit Operating System
Processor: Triple-core Intel or AMD, 2.0 GHz or faster
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 460 GTX or AMD Radeon 5870 HD series or higher
Mobile: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M or higher.
DirectX: DirectX 11, Shader Model 4

If you don't meet the minimum specifications, you can still try all the solutions written below; we're working very hard at making the game run on older platforms. If you are unsure how fast your videocard is, you can visit: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ and look it up. Your score should be ~2500 or more.

Bear in mind that no matter what you do or try, the game will not run at all if you have less than 6GB of RAM, or if you are running on a 32bit system.

2. Try lowering your video settings quality and your resolution. 1280x720 and "low" is the recommended settings if you are using an older or slower graphics card. If you are having trouble changing your resolution directly in the game you can also do it in the launch options

Instructions for changing the resolution in the launch options: Under the Games Menu in Steam, View Games Library, Right-Click We Happy Few and click "Properties". Under "Launch options", enter the following string:
-ResX 1280 -ResY 720

3. Make sure you are not running capture or streaming services as they may interfere with your performance. Updating your drivers may also help if it's been a while.

4. Still not running smoothly? Send us some statistics and we'll look at them.

Instructions:

1. Start the game with the console enabled. You can enable the console by adding -console to the launch options in (Properties/General/Set Launch Options).

2. Once the game has started wait 15-20 seconds in the shelter for the builder to stabilize.

3. Press ` to call up the console to bring up the console, and enter the following commands:

stat dumpframe
profilegpu

Then quit the game.

You'll find a log file in your user folder. The easiest way to get to the log is by typing %localappdata%\GlimpseGame\Saved\Logs in the address bar of a Windows Explorer window, and send the file GlimpseGame.log to [e-mail]. We'll look at the data and see if we can improve the game experience for you in a future update.

In terms of game development, there is no excuse to bias GPU branding when the game can be coded to worth for both brands if you optimize to a API that caters to both Brands.

Vulkan is nice, OpenGL4.5 would be even better given how Vulkan is still rather new. Dx11 is okay until you throw in other CPU intensive plugins... Like freaking PhysX.

I hope that the developers aren't coding their game script wise using the unreal engine in that sense, because whilst they can throw content and mechanics in, the stability and optimization will be lacking.

Havok is a pretty neat physics engine btw, In the many games it's used in, not any of those games end up lagging out your gameplay, and I remember most games utilizing physics back then lets you have a option to turn them off or configure the levels of it.

I wonder cause @ http://compulsiongames.com/en/10/we-happy-few the recommended specs are lower then my rig and i can play on low/mid @ 1080p with 35-40 fps.
So
A. The recommended specs are outdated
B. They have to improve the perforamce.

im having the same problem, when i first got the game it run smoothly but now there is such bad lag its horrible to play, my system is well above recommended specifications and i have tried turning down all the graphic options

This may be caused by a corrupted save file.

I suggest deleting your save and starting a new game. The new build is now available, and we recommend restarting for this reason as well.

i just got the update so i started a new game but still really bad lag

I have a R9 270x 4,589 Points @ http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ and a FX 6300 and can only play on low/mid settings. Is this caus of a bad optimization ?

I'm allready plan to buy a new high end pc. Im just asking for the moment.

Oh yeah? what's the plan for the old vid card then? Send it to me to make a new steam friend!

[Z0mbi3 St0mp3r]

my bad, i know why it became all laggy with all the graphic settings turned down, for some reason the game wouldnt use the dedicated graphics, after updating my comp it all runs smoothly again

[Soldier Boy]

I just have one question : How do I play with the other characters? (I know that there are 3)

[NugHuffer]

After the most recent update I noticed that I can no longer play with the smootheness that I did previously. Are other people experiencing this? I was able to play on medium with extreme smooth movement, now it's choppy. I can regain that smootheness by bumping the graphics down to low...but I was hoping it wouldn't come to that because during the day the sun white washes almost everything and kind of ruins the dystopian feel. If there is no fix until more development that's okay. Was just wondering if other people have been experiencing this and if so if there's a fix.

I just bought this game and it's so effing laggy that I can't stand to play it. I even have a Nvidia GTX 980.. you'd think that'd be pretty good right? Nah, apparently my Intel Q660 @ 2.40GHz and 8GB RAM isn't enough. It is for ultra high quality Skyrim with 2k textures and a ton of mods, however.

Hi cschuck320

I'm not surprised you are experiencing low fps. The Q6600 was released in 2007 (9 years old), and is below our minimum specifications. 8GB RAM is totally fine, and your GPU is a beast. I'd recommend upgrading your CPU, as while we'd like to lower our CPU requirements, we're not sure yet whether that will be feasible.

edit: I stand corrected, it's not a dual core chip. However, it is still a very low end CPU.

You're playing the game on what is essentially a relic, but with a modern GPU, and complaining about performance? Get real.

Intel Core2 has no place in a gaming machine in 2016. Buy a cheap, modern i5 from Sandybridge onwards and your problems will go away. Oh, and a board. And RAM.

No steam launch options like use allavailable cores?????

After this Clockwork Update things from the point of graphics are got worse (more frameloss)... for me, at least.

My PC:
Sony Vaio SVE1712S1EB (Win 8.1)
Dual-Core Intel i5-3210M CPU 2.50 GHz
Ram 16 GB (originally 6 GB - updated)
AMD Radeon HD 7500/7600 Series

Everything (OS, Direct X, AMD) are updated to the latest drivers; I checked if the Disk works at 100% with Task Manager, but with the game opened it works fine and very below that value (PC works fine and fast, in other words); I followed a guy's guide to get more FPS (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731997251), but this works fine only during the evening in-game.
I play the game on low settings, but it's still laggy, laggier after the update.
And before anyone comments, yes, I'm minding to get a powerful PC.

In confrontation, GTA V runs very fine on my PC with lowered settings.
