Air_Knight Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hello CM Community, I'm fairly new to the series, owning both Black Sea, and Battle For Normandy, but for this issue i'm more focused on BS. My issue is that when playing on maxed settings with V-sync off I have never had smooth gameplay, the game is very laggy and at times slow to no response when in the midst of a battle. i thought maybe it was because there were a lot of units on the map, but when i got to map preview with no units, i still struggle to keep a steady 45 fps, with it dropping and lingering around 25 fps. its very hard to play that way. Specs: Intel I7 4970K GTX 980 16gb RAM Windows 10 below are my nvidia control panel settings, i've tinkered around with them trying to achieve the best performance but to no avail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Here are a few useful threads: Latest post has one person's settings. This is a good one to read: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify are you saying that you experience poor camera control smoothness and stuttering at 25 fps? Or are you talking about the subtle visual things that you can notice if you are looking for them at lower frame rates? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i mean that the camera tends to have a delayed response when I pan it around the map as I play. Thank you for posting those threads, ill look into them and get back to you with what I have gathered from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah, I hope it helps. It seems (you will discover from those threads) that some people have problems and others don't. I used to think that it was perception rather than fact but those threads cleared that up. Sadly not everyone ends up happy. Hopefully BFC can make improvements for people over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Knight Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah I guess you are right, I've skimmed through both articles but still getting the same issues, I guess i'll just play around with the settings, it still just makes me wonder what it could be because the specs i have are relatively top of the line, yet I have choppy gameplay, but then again it all goes back to some people having issues, and others none at all. Make me jealous lol because this is a great game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) For me the only improvement happened when I bumped my gfx card's pre rendered frames to 8. That made a noticeable difference. Nothing else did. But at the end of the day it's not a very efficient engine (compared to modern ones), plus it's 32bit (ie max 3gb usable ram) so we're pretty much at the envelope with a battalion level battle. Many would add that that is the practical limits of unit control anyhow. Edited July 19, 2016 by kinophile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Knight Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 yeah most of the battles i play arent even at the battalion level, far to much for me to handle, mainly with my lag issues contributing to its difficulty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Just an idea, and not sure if the other links mentioned it, try installing and using Razer Cortex http://www.razerzone.com/ca-en/cortex It may help you out or it may not. Since it is free, worth a shot. May help for any other programs you have as well. Edited July 20, 2016 by Blazing 88's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
