Hello everyone,
Can anyone help me with a performance issue? (questions in red)
Here is the story:
I run WB 1.143 + Floris Expanded and started experiencing lags as the battles was getting bigger, so I started trying graphic options cause I believe my pc is enough to handle the game. (Phenom II Quad + HD6550M )
First problem was in sieges (a lot of people together). When I disabled "Pixel Shaders" the problem disappeared.
Then I got lag anywhere with that "sand fog", but solved after disabling it.
Now I'm at war with the Keight and find out that battles with a lot of horses becomes unplayably lagged. Tried reducing from 300 to 150 the battle size and nothing changed. After changing to DirectX 7, even with 300 horses it runs perfectly smooth.
So right now it runs well at DX7, but some textures and item images are bugged and I don't want to play that way, so:
Is there a fix/version for DirectX 7?
I'd like to try dx9 in the expanded version disabling some graphic enhancements
like said here.
It advises to try the Gameplay version instead, but the difference is not only the graphics. According to
this post, the Gameplay version have:
- Less sounds and songs than the extended and basic. (ok, I dont care)
- ~1000 less itens than extended and basic. (Is it true, less itens than the basic version?)
- Do not have the new buildings.
So, is it all the relevant difference? I don't care about the sounds and graphics, but I'd like to not loose any other feature.
What are these new buildings? Do they affect gameplay?
And is it true the Gameplay have ~1000 itens less than the expanded?
Sorry for the long post, I appreciate any help in deciding between dx7+bugs or downgrade to gameplay.
