"Low" fps with a fairly high end PC

[Waldherz]

Hi, so first off I dont have the steam version off the game but I hope someone here can help me out.

So my issue is that Anno just...doesnt perform well. It starts on the empty island with about 80 fps and then quikcly drops to 50 and lower with just a few basic buildings. I tired the Ultra and very high preset on 1440p as I feel my PC should easily run the game at these settings and higher fps.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh and it gets to 30-40 fps once people are moving

What are your system specs? It's hard to say without knowing these. Regarding the recommended system requirements on the store page, these are meant for 1080p, 60fps and high settings. For higher resolutions and very high or ultra settings the requirements are higher.

I have my full specs on my profile. Here is the short rundown
8700k, 2080ti SLI, 32GB Ram.
I tired with and without SLI, as I dont expect anything from multi GPU in games. It makes no difference.

Well obviously you shouldn't have any issues with the game with your specs. Maybe you are affected by this issue some other Steam users have and for which there is a temporary workaround to fix this issue. Have you tried running Steam in offline mode? This solved the fps issues for many people. Otherwise I don't know. Maybe try lowering AA but otherwise you should be able to run the game easily on max settings of course.

And none of the devs said anything, at least to say "hey, we know the issue and we'll look into it". Seems like they don't give a sheet for this.

As I said I sadly dont have the steam version. But I also tried running Uplay in offlinemode., It seems to give me about 5 fps more and removes all framedrops. Its still relatively low compared to the specs.

I asked the support when I played the demo, since I had the same issues there. They still didnt respond.

That doesn't sound like a workaround, it sounds like an intentional gimmick to discourage ownership on Steam. I digress: this game runs like a bag of ass on excellent rigs. Mine isn't anywhere near as good as this guys, but with an 8700k and a 1070ti, I shouldn't be getting 25FPS on high settings...

THAT...is sad. Whats your resolution?

If it would be intentional, then everyone would have the issue. I can run the game just fine even without going in Steam offline mode. The game also runs as I would expect from my laptop (970M). I get about 40-50 fps on high settings 1080p. When I lower water quality and post processing to medium I get close to 60fps. But obviously there are performance issues, especially some of the higher end hardware doesn't seem to perform as good as they should. Also OP doesn't have the Steam version and still has performance issues, so it's not just Steam users.

this is certainly offline/online thing... at least for here, graphics do not matter... something is writing nonsense to framebuffer >

Even forcing SLI and getting high usage goes down to low fps very fast.

This is my experience as well. Game runs 45-50fps with DX11 on very high quality on my laptop @1080p. I haven't even bothered lowering some of the settings to see if I can get 60fps. It seems the people having the greatest performance issues are the ones with the best rigs but I question if it is simply because they're trying play on higher (4k) resolutions and the game isn't optimized to do that

Im playing on 1440p without any DSR modes or some other crazy settings enabled

Dawn of Discovery (Anno 1404) had similar issues on release for the hardware used back then.
To this day it still crashes with a memory leak that they never fixed.
There is a unofficial patch for it that players had to make just to fix it years later.

Expect the same from Anno 1800.
