Title: Low framerate help thread *work in progress*
Post by: Phazey on June 05, 2012, 12:03:22 pm
Disclaimer: i haven't tested the texture packs or directx 7 myself. Use at your own risk.  :rolleyes:

1) enable 'show framerate' in the warband launcher
2) ingame, set detail to medium

If you're still getting unplayable framerates (for me, anything below 40 fps feels 'unplayable'):
3) set detail to low instead (make sure character shadows are off and corpses are set to 0)

If that doesn't help enough:
4) use the low res texture pack: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,5335.0.html (hasn't been updated with many of the new textures, but will still help framerate a bit probably)
And maybe:
5) cRPG-optimization: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,6967.msg108140.html#msg108140
(Do not use. Already added to cRPG, also: might break it.")

And if that still doesn't help enough:
6) Use scarymod: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php?topic=6968.0
(Not compatible)

And ofcourse you can:
7) switch to directx 7 in the warband launcher

That is what i could find just now with a few searches. Did i cover all the possible tweaks? Anyone actually used all these together?

You forgot:

8) Search for a new computer in the trash, because chances are high, what you find will be better than what you have now.

Just kidding, good guide!

9) Wait for next patch and hope it'll magicly recovers.

You can also try disabling "pixel shaders" in the game launcher options and "dynamic lighting" in the video settings.

But, for me, what really affects framerate the most is blood - blood stains and particle effects. But, without it, the game looks weird.  :)
