FPS drop druing sieges?

[Vlandian]

My system:
Ryzen 3600
16gb 3200 ram
RTX 2070s
win10

Everywhere else in the game i get between 140 to 200 fps.
On custom battles with maxed out settings with 1000 troops It drops to about 50~ fps.
And during castle sieges it drops to 20 or sometimes dips below. I have to turn the settings all the way to medium to be able to play.

Is it my system or there is a problem with the game?

EDIT: I'm playing on 1440p 144hz monitor.

It's got something to do with the fire and smoke for me, I got pretty much the same system but a 5700xt. A normal battle runs fine with a boat load of troops, once I siege up I seize up for a bit, and the first ting in my face usually is smoke

Latest patch has absolute ruined the game for me. FPS in sieges have dropped from 100fps at 1000 man sieges to 20fps in 400man

There's a pathfinding issue with the A.I. That's why you're getting abysmal fps in sieges, sometimes mine drops to only 9 fps. Your system is fine.

It starts to drop when units reach the ladders, it is related to pathfinding obviously. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Latest patch made the performance worse for me. I second that the smoke effects lower FPS like crazy. Wish I could turn them off.

same here. lag in siege was unplayable. took me 2 minutes to fire one arrow. i gave up and let it run while i went to do RL stuff. larger field battles are fine.

Im a noob, can you explain a bit? So how does pathfinding influence FPS? Im genuinely curious but aware of my lack of knowledge! (I'm having the same problems.)

Pathfinding calculations by all npcs in a battle is done by the CPU, there's a bug that's putting a lot of strain on the cpu by making too many unnecessary calculations.

 

[Lord Archaon]

yeah this is still kaput even after latest patch.

and my guys still wont go up the siege towers or break the front gate

Memory improved with this patch, but CPU now has higher load.

I have a I7-6700k and while I don't get FPS drops in battles or sieges, I do have inconsistencies with the world map for some reason.
