Fps in game.

[Vivi]

Just wondering what kind of fps people get and such.

I am playing through the xbox gamepass myself (I know shame on me) but the game is usually at max settings at 94 fps, but when I get into missions and things start happening, sometimes a mere house being walked through my game tanks to 30-40 fps.

Just wondering if people could share what they are running for settings and hardware when they play.

I am using a:
Ryzen 7 3800XT
16GB ram
Amd Rx6700X

I play with all the settings on high at 1080p.
Just curious if the game is normally a potato once destruction happens or perhaps something on my end is being whacky.

As a FYI, changing settings from high to medium does absolutely nothing to improve fps.

usually got around 65-70 fps, but like you, when things start "happening" aka some explosions or smoke effects start going out it drops a bit... and when A LOT of effects start happening all over the map it dips to like 15-20 fps which uhh... is sort of unacceptable imo seems to me something could be done about that... like why does my screen 'read' the entire map for effects and reduce my FPS accordingly? can't it just kinda de-code those effects since they are not visible on my screen and just prioritize what i see?
snapping to another location on the map where "stuff is happening" could be sort of weird this way, but like... its better than dipping to bottom level ranges of FPS just because the coding wants to read every single effect happening on the map.

some might boil that down to faulty or outdated hardware, but i can't go out spending upwards of 2000 euros every 5 years on a new toptuned gaming pc just to keep up with what i would consider bad coding or over-eager developing standards.

look i know everyone wants nice physics, cool graphics and realism, but the priority in a strategy game should be the performance, not the pretty sparkles, but at the same time i don't want to sit here using crappy low-setting laptop level graphics just because the optimization on high settings are badly coded.

if the game ignored effects (explosions, smoke animations etc.) not directly on my screen then i would probably run at least 50-60 fps consistently, but since it insists that every effect on the map needs to be 'read' it just tanks the fps for no real reason... im not looking at the effects, im not witnessing them.. i might HEAR them, but sound don't take a toll on the graphics card the same way.

Well good to know it's not just me. I am running the newest cards and this is happening. Seeing as it and AOE3 are all I've played it led me to believe my card is janked up.

I am doing the Rusviet missions, I did that night one where you disable a radio tower and such. Just walking everything is peachy... 1 Saxon walker goes through a building, nothing else on screen besides Janek and one vanguard squad, BOOM 30 fps. And nothing is happening else where on the map as it's a scenario rather than basebuilding so everything is just standing around until you show up.

It's pretty bad when you lower the setting's from all high to medium and not a single frame is gained back. Did the Mission just now with the rocket in the centre, once I started to make a push it was just 20-30 fps consistently. Good times.

Man I have ryzen 7 3800x, 16 gb RAM, Geforce 2070 super and my fps drops from 70 to 30...
My settings are all high and 1920 x 1080

The game just seems to hate me. And control panel doesn’t recognize the game, so I wonder if that’s a cause.

[edubencz]

I have the same problem... I have a 3080 and i7-10700k and the fps drops to 30 in heavy action.

Gpu and cpu use are very low during these moments.

I wonder if its something to do with the game engine..

Yeah, for me it’s not heavy action. Sometimes it runs just fine during heavy, but the moment smoke and debris from buildings show up it just tanks for the rest of the match. Definitely some sort of poor optimization despite the game have an expansion and such.

Playing on gamepass as well, performance is all over the place. I don't have the latest hardware, but i feel like a 1070Ti and an i78700k should play this game just fine.

Stuttering in game, in cutscenes, choppy audio, screen flickering, feels really awful honestly. Pretty disappointed because if it ran properly it seems like it would be a really fun game, I just can't get into it because the performance is so bad.

I have exactly the same issues

I chug through it at this point. Infantry can be a piss off, and some mechs just being painfully inaccurate at times.
