Final mission, unplayable lag

[herrerik]

Hi
Game hasnt lagged for me on any map, but final campaign mission has UNPLAYABLE lag. It's terrible. Any known fix? Can i lower some setting or something?

Make sure in Graphics Options you have "Fast Timers Optimization" checked.

I tried that no difference. Tried lowering graphics options to medium, no difference.

So last map is still unplayable for me :(

The same issue appears on pretty much every 4/5 and 5/5 map on Apocalypse.

Time to build a mill (tested in first map at 25%): 40 seconds
time on The goddess of destiny 800%: 70 seconds
time on el dorado 800%: 53 seconds

It's an engine problem. It's not our hardware that is bottlenecking, it's the TAB engine. it's too many entities for it to handle, so the whole thing slows down. You also don't actually lose FPS (check that with an individual FPS measuring software)

Now as for fast timer optimization, with my R7 1700 it completely removes the problem. 40 second mill on Goddess of Destiny on 800%.

If it doesn't solve this for you, you should post your DXDIAG panel 1 and 2 here.

The "Fast Timers Optimization" option does work, but I think it only helps when your PC is really a beast. For slower computers it doesn't change much, or even makes it worse. Lowering the video settings won't help much, because the cause of the lag is the amount of infected, which uses your CPU, not GPU.

I had the same issue, I thought it was unplayable at first, but I just got through it somehow. The lag goes away when you clear enough of the infected. The only current solution for this I can think of, is lowering the difficulty setting. The lower the difficulty, the smaller the lag should be, because there's just fewer infected.

[Quineloe]

Fast timers optimization definitely tanks the FPS instead of the game speed with many infected active. Waves drop to 15 FPS, but if the infected are inactive it's fine.

[herrerik]

Well i wanna play it on apoc, thats the point :( It's the final missions and all other missions were way too simple...

[GladiusNW]

Yeah, this mission is actually fun on apoc. Just try sending your rangers to attack infected in the south and maybe the lag will go away a little bit.
