Heavy fps drops

[Straight_Miz]

fps go down from around 40-60 on ultra to around 12. I restarted my pc and played on low, just to have the same problem (it starts with around 120 FPS and goes down to around 12 pretty fast (not even 10 minutes into the match - 2v2).
Tutorial and a few missions in challenge mode was fine. As soon as i played MP (2v2) it was unplayable. I almost have 2 hours played now since i got kicked out of some lobbys and had to wait a bit. I dont really want to waste 24€ for an unplayable game since you cant refund after 2 hours played. I restarted my PC. 1 v1 was fine (I had around 35 units, he problably some more, since he beat me. It was around 8 minutes into the game i think, so i doubt he had houndres of units). 2v2 was unplayable even after the first few minutes.

Im mostly into Multiplayer. Especially 3v3 and 4v4. When its already unplayable in 2v2 i cant imagine what happens in 3v3 or 4v4 or a 30-minute long 1v1 with 200-300 units on each side.

While playing i had everything except Steam and the game closed. I wasnt running Firefox or anything else.

I read now from several people that they have similiar problems. Afaik (almost) everyone had AMD. Is this a case of optimisation problem?

Let me know if i can do anything or help out without going over the 2 hour limit. I dont want to risk it with this game. Its the first game from these devs (at least on steam) and its possible that this will never be fixed (IF its a problem caused by this game and not me). Maybe my specs just arent good enough for more than 1v1, then let me know please.
It was fun, i hope to not be forced to refund. But atm it seems like i have to.

Yup, don't worry. Same thing here - 2 1080s and I get 10FPS max... It just sucks...

Yeah the problem is cpu-bounding, not gpu, so graphic options can't help too much.
Thanks for you offer to help, as you saw it's related mainly to amd fx cpus, we're working on it.
I would suggest you to follow the other thread, in the meantime, keep in range for an eventual refund :)

To be clear, I was trying to play a 3v3 map size but with only one AI opponent. I'll definitely stick with it though, I'm enjoying the game played on small maps! Just hoping to boost the size a bit. Launches are always hectic, so no worries on that front.

Thanks for your comprehension, and we're happy you're enjoing it

[Mr. S]

sounds like it could be garbage collection issues in the code causing it to slow down over time?

To be honest, its not the first game i got this issue with my AMD cpu ;(
Espacialy new releases does not run smoothly sometime on my pc.

I will upgrade my pc anyway to Intel soon.
But overall, a game should run on both Cpu's , i have no knowledge about programming in generall. But my expierence told me, that amd cpu's with more cores has alot of troubles in few games.

maybe not all cores get used, or it lags beetween cores.
I mean like i wrote allready, i have no clue about this programming.
But if i look beetween INtel and AMD 1 thing jump into my eyes.
Mostly amd got more cores, i google allready 1 year ago about this.

And as i remember, intel use another "prozessor struktur" as AMD thats why amd has more cores. but the "endpower" is not higher.

Maybe im completly wrong with this. :)

game is unplayeable
120 fps in turorial and everywhere in the UI,
but ingame i get 3 fps
doesn't matter which settings you use it will always have the exact same 3 fps bug
i can play any other high graphics games (all battlefronts and battlefrields games, CODs, Final fantasy 15, planetside) but i can't play this extremly low pixel pylgons graphics?

tested singplayer conq 1vs1 tiny island and now the 3 fps bug is gone,
i can play 3 games at the same time, Empires apart, left 4 dead, planetside 2 + photoshop + Poser Pro 11 and rendering and got 60 FPS

[Naduron]

Yup i found out what causing the 3 fps bug it is your AI or numbers of players

1vs1 tiny 60 fps
1vs6 tiny 3 fps
game is unplayeable with 6
fix the bug

I noticed that in some maps the game slows down to 9 fps in others ok at 60 fps. For example in the winterwald map the game with 4v4 - 9 fps, the same game but in the archipelago map is at 60 fps. ?????????
optimize?

!!in addition, the units often do not walk forward as if they were stuck in the middle of the buildings. Do they have difficulty advancing????
thank you
