fps animation like aoe 2 hd ? 20fps stuttering unit animation sux

[Odinsblade]

so i just wanna ask, why isnt there a patch or something that modifies this game's base unit animation fps from 20 to 60 or something because the unit animation is stuttering and nasty. I know the game is old but aoe 2 fixed its unit animation fps in last expansion, and this game runs on the same engine. Also i played this game with a mod or something, but the game was uncapped just like aoe2 and the unit fps was 60 . It was so awesome, anyway i saw the game on sale and bought it, but the original one from steam still has 20 fps unit cap animation. Anybody knows how to make the animation just like aoe2 hd ? i know it works for swgb too because i played it but i forgot where i found it and i almost went insane searching for it again and didnt manage to find it.
So plans for uncapping the unit animation fps ? or mods to do it ?

Unless Disney or whatever is in charge of the game get their act togheter (patch, updates), your best bet it's with mods. Try looking for "expanding fronts".

The 'Expanding Fronts mod' adds support for 60fps, so all the animations are silky smooth.

It is a night and day difference.

Here you will find the most update to date version of the mod

The direct link to the google drive that the dev update is here (which is located in that forum)

Download the "GAME' folder from that link.

To install, first download the game fresh with steam and run it once and create a ingame profile and then quit the game.

After that, just drag and drop the GAME folder you downloaded right into the 'STAR WARS - Galactic Battlegrounds Saga' folder. It will ask you to overwrite the current "GAME' folder that is already in there.

Accept the overwrite and run the 'battlegrounds_x2.exe' in the new 'GAME' folder you just updated. It will open up a config box that lets you pick a new resolution and enable 60fps as well as a few other things.


(P.s just ignore the MOD DB website version. It is out of date, even with the 1.1.1 patch, it is still really out of date and contains bugs like 'no music ingame' and whatnot.)

Maybe they think Empire at war is the replacement...

Nope. SWGB in general, just like AOE2, has absolutely zilch support for the Steam overlay. :| It's just not possible.
