i know about it, but i was thinking maybe some smart guys made any community patch or something...

Lower the anti aliasing. It makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, the game wont be as pretty though. I would say, lower the unit size but that would make the game a lot less fun.

You can set shadows to off. That will help a lot.

The shadows are cracy. I can play everything maxed (AAx2/karge units) and get over 30fps in 40vs40 battles if shadows are Off. With the shadows i got 16 fps. Even everything lese on performance only make it up to 23.... the sad thing is i cant stand the game without shadows...

I found this and for the first time in over 600 hours of gameplay, I get roughly 50-60FPS, even in large battles zoomed in. If you have a newer computer, I would try it. I posted the discussion I found. I hope this helps you as much as it did me! my Ryzen 3600 actually uses more than one core now! ***In case you don't know APPDATA folder is hidden, so unhide it.

"Attila has been running quite poorly for me lately and upgrading pc parts actually somehow made it even worse. I've started to get noticeable and f*cking annoying stuttering/hitching in battles and in campaign, where the FPS drops from 50 to 20 for half a second and then runs good for two seconds and repeats.

Here's a screenshot of the in-game benchmarking tool from which you can clearly see the stuttering

Now, thankfully u/MikeBabcockedMe posted this guide two years ago, which I have summarized below:

Go to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila\scripts and open preferences.script.txt. From there you have to search for number_of_threads 0 and replace that 0 with the amount of threads your CPU has. I have a Ryzen 1700 so I put in 16. If you have, say, Intel 7700, pop in 8. Ryzen 1500 and you can pop in 12 and so forth

I was a bit skeptical but it actually worked and fixed the hitching and also gave a slight performance boost as you can see here. Campaign map now also runs noticeably better."

Thanks MAN! There are completely no stuttering now!! This is amazing thing. So simple fix. Creative assemly, you was cant repair that easy ♥♥♥♥ so many years, wtf with you?

[Ultrabot]

0 should be automatic, so could be a RYZEN issue. Attila was what, 2015?

anyway, cool fix ^

I'm Ryzen now, so I'll probably need it too when I play this again.

[thetruesithlord751]

ive checked the .txt and it already had the correct number of threads in it. is there any fix for intel users for bad performance?

[Galeelei Of Carthage]

I have a I5 2300 2.80GHz (it should be 4 threads)
Everytime I change the "number_of_threads 0;" to "number_of_threads 4;" and save it.
But when I close, save and reopen the text it goes back to number_of_threads 0;

try to set "only read"

i found that the biggest fps hog was unit detail.

if you crank this down from quality to performance you'll notice less fps spikes and more stable in general when large armies are clashing with eachother.

yes the unit models look a bit crappier but the fps gainz is worth it

about "number_of_threads" fix don't go above 8 if you go above 8 it won't work or it will make performance even worse, I have like 22 or 24 threads but this fix only work when I drop 8 ( I got like 10-15 fps boost )

[Sanderahawk]

I built my own pc now with AMD Ryzen 9 5950x with 32 threads. Changing the number to 32 didn't work but what Ass Bandit mentioned with only putting number 8 DOES WORK! From 15-20 fps to 40-60 depending on the area of the campaign map. Thanks a lot man!
