Good PC but framedrops often.

I'd say that the problem is probably your CPU since the game, like most RTS games, is more CPU intensive. The i5 3200 is showing his age during those battles :/

Apart from that, I have an R7 2700XT/ 5700XT/ 32gb and I still have big frame drops during big battles with many units. I'm not sure if this is something that devs can fix easily, however after a while you kinda get used to it.

 

I have an i7-7820HK CPU and gtx 1080 (desktop) in a laptop with 16gb of ram, nvme 1TB for storage. Almost every game, fps drops to even 15!!!! In huge battles (max population battles) of laptop is plugged in, even OC-d a bit. I tried to fiddle with settings, a bit better with shadows to low alias to low and stuff, but eh... I read that this is using BANG, same engine as aoe 2,3 and mith I think. I wonder and I will test if I can see how many of the cores BANG can utilize. I hope it utilizes all, but I assume it only using one maybe hence the terrible fps. In this case better to have a higher hz cpu on one core than multi core cpu with low hz for this title. Who knows.

 

Having similar framerate drops as Odinsblade even though my rig is a little bit faster - i5-4460, geforce 1660 ti - Would love to see this ironed out if possible. I've tried running everything on the lowest settings and didn't notice much difference, which makes me wonder if it was an engine problem, since I'm well above the recommended specs.

Made sure the application is running my GPU, but the game still seems to lean heavy on the CPU. 60/40. Curious if anyone on a new/faster CPU is still having the problem?

 

it seems this game only uses 4 cores, which is a bummer. my frames dropes hardly in fights and even while scrolling the cam on an empty map. don't know why.
could be because of the engine.

 

I have an fairly old computer, it is ok to me but sometimes when i play a longer quest / time i get insane lags / framedrops. When i restart the game it gets a lot better.
