Optimization

[RogueRooster]

I remember a time when the dev's said this game was going to run better than the original isle, more optimized?......Well im still waiting for that cuz i can run the original on high-medium and quite easily get to 60-100+ frames, while on the lowest graphics on evrima i can barely maintain 30.

[Rincewind]

they are still "working" on the game ?
thought at the meantime they gave it up finally...

Without knowing your PC specs try this

Verify the game in steam

Update your GPU Driver and your Windows to the latest version

Delete the games Config file to reset all settings

How to Delete the Config folder

1. If running The Isle, exit the game.
2. Open File Explorer.
3. Click the address bar at the top.
4. Type %localappdata% then press Enter.
5. Find "TheIsle" folder. Open it.
6. Open the "Saved" folder.
7. Delete the "Config" folder. Note: This will reset any of your custom settings to their defaults, may also improve performance
8. Start the game.

Note: Due to a known bug that stops settings sticking, Hit 'Apply' in settings before every play time, may improve performance

That would really struggle with Evrima unfortunately, mostly due to the GTX 1060, particularity with it only having 3GB of VRam, getting 30fps on low settings at 1080p would be about right

Do what I suggested to at least get the most out of that PC

But if you did upgrade the GPU, find a cheap second hand GTX 1080 Ti (11GB VRam), your system would then smoothly play Evrima in all it's glory

Indie developers "optimization" usualy means waiting untill everyone buys new computers so they dont have to optimize.

Sorry but I have a 1080 ti with 11GB VRam and its not that smooth I have around 40 fps

[Phunkenstein]

I'd say anything from the 20 series up would do you well for this game. 1060's REALLY struggle with fog and shadows, and this game loves shadows.

Might just be time for an upgrade.

The difference between the GTX 1060 3GB and the GTX 1080Ti 11GB is dramatic as seen in the link

I suggested the GTX 1080Ti as it is the same generation as your overall system and should have the least issues running it in that PC, as well as it's comparatively cheaper second hand cost, for basic graphical power output it sits between the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070, which for most people with a well maintained system should get about 100fps on high settings at 1080p

change your 3D resolution in the graphic setting in game. Game look like nothing but you have more fps.

I have 1060 3gb and also have 20 fps no matter what. It's problem of all new games, I want a button "make game look like ♥♥♥♥ but give me reasonable fps", and they don't have such button, so you are forced to play with worse graphics and worse fps than you had in 2013-2015 games, but you know what, on the other hand we have UE5, yay.

Its really UE5 that's making almost modern games unplayable.

I could play legacy isle on UE4 no problem, Day of dragons on UE4 perfectly fine, but when they switched to UE5 im left with a frameless mess.

The Unreal Engine 5 is Epic's current graphics engine, so it's completely normal that you'll have problems with 8 and 13 year old hardware

It's nearly 2025, guys. I hate to say it, but if your machine is over a decade old it's time to start upgrading. This is the way it's always been with technology.

You may not realise but those are the recommend specs for Legacy (first released about 9 years ago), uses the game engine (UE4), this is the version of The Isle which is on it's way to being removed after which the steam page will change to reflect that fact

The only version of The Isle being addressed in this thread is Evrima (first release in June 2020, about 5 years ago), which is based on the modern game engine (UE5.5) and will be the future of the game going forward
