Need help with performance

[KingofWesteros]

I have set all of my video settings to the lowest possible ( and I mean Everything, including disabling ragdolls, corpses and optional graphic things) but my estimated performance is only 60%. I sacrifice all the graphics just to be able to play the game, but I still regularly get blue screen, but have never gotten CTDs.

I tried the Prophesy of Pendor mod, and it is so awesome, but in battles larger than 100, the game lags horrendously. It doesn't freeze, but the game is basically a slideshow whenever I try to fight. Any idea how to boost my estimated performance and what can I do to fight in battles in PoP ( Native and Floris lag to but a lot less and mostly unnoticeable). My battle size is 80.

Also, should I toggle Load Textures on demand and Force single threading on or off? I've done some googling but got very mixed results.

Thank you for your help.

Expected performance does not work properly, what hardware do you have? Btw bluescreens has probably nothing to do with mount and blade but with your win10 or CPU/GPU/PSU

heya I have the same issue as yourself with a similar setup. I managed to get normal warband running at 60 fps by setting anti aliaising to x4, hdr to low. Shadows low. Realtime shadows on plants to none.

Then go into configure at the launcher. Tick 'load textures on demand', then set 'max fps' to 120, then tick 'force Vsync'.

I know that vsync locks your fps at 60, but for some reason with this setup I was able to remove all the horrid micro stutter and am able to play 150 man fights at 60 fps. Unable to play viking conquest at all though as the fps is just way too low.

Hope this helps you.
