FPS and performance issues

[DrunkenFrenchman]

Hi,

I have been running into issues with performance in VC. I rarely get above 20fps in the world map and it drops considerably during battles that exceed 200 soldiers but I feel like my PC should be able to handle much more.

I'm Running Win10
Processor: Intel Core i7 - 4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
64bit System

What else do you guy need from me to help me out?

add (using spoiler tag) your rgl_config.txt and rgl_log.txt

GPU?

make sure you are not playing on compatible mod (Steam does that, see the link above about it)

update your game: are you using Steam? If not, you must download Warband again (1.16 and VC 2.005 (even if you have WB installed, you need to download it again)

update your computer drivers. Many players have issues with Win10.

test the game with a new save: create a new sandbox game and play for a bit, don't use a old file in case it is corrupted. That is for testing performance

Hi DrunkenFrenchman,
please post your rgl_log (M&B root folder) and rgl_config (documents/Mount&Blade: Warband).
From now I can tell you:
-don't set the battlesize above 150
-Your CPU is a little bit slow
-W10 has drivers problems.

In the  mean time,  you have the battle size at the max,  decrease it to the min,  disable the new Ai and let as know if you have led than 30 fps. You can also set try the advices we gave above about rgl_config parameters.

I don't have VC yet, but I assume it can still be ran in DX7 mode, if it can, try that. The graphics will be considerably worse (much worse tbh) but it could net you a massive performance increase. This is done through the Warband launcher options before starting the game.

And actually, I also have Intel HD graphics, so if you try this and it helps I'd much appreciate it if you could let me know, thanks.

Also, I assume you're doing this already, but turn all of the graphic options to the lowest settings possible. Also make sure you have anti-aliasing, antistropic filtering, and v-synch turned off. Might even help to turn these settings off in your actual graphics card settings outside of the game. AA can especially cause huge FPS drops.

Running it in DX7 mode is the most likely to get you a playable FPS.

Turning off particle effects could also help dramatically, but it takes a lot away from the game. If all of this stuff helps but dust/particles are still giving you trouble, switching the particle effects file out with a less-intensive one from either native Warband or a mod could provide some benefit as well, but not if all the previous options haven't gotten you to where you need to be FPS-wise.

Dxt7 is not support and I wouldn't have hope on an integrated GC.
