Please, Do not force ever the texture on demand..

Please leave the option available in the settings.

With the last update of WSE2, my FPS drop from 120 to 60 fps with horrible lag.
And when I disabled this bullshit in the config file, I am magically back to 120 FPS..

I know you are trying to improve CRPG with all this and I am grateful to you, but please, do not force ever this horrible option.

I have a hard time believing that the option can reduce your FPS by 60 and add "horrible lag". Especially when it only changes the behavior of the game on round start/agent spawn.
Can you paste the contents of your crpg_beta_log.txt?

The fps gap is smaller here but on other map, it can fall further.
What is strange is that I had no option available for the texture on demand in my parameters before and it seems to be back when there was no update.
The lag also seem to have disappeared. But the fps drops are still there.

There are some anomalous lines in the logs that tell me something's wrong. Do you use any external mods like SweetFX?

Also, can you upload the contents of Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\crpg_beta_config.txt and another log file (don't join a server. Just open the game, close it and upload the log. Doesn't matter if ondemand textures are on or off)?

I have actually sweetFX installed but I turn it off through the shortcut for playing CRPG.

Also, can you upload the contents of Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\crpg_beta_config.txt

I don't have a crpg_beta_config.txt but a crpg_beta_config.ini, I guess that's what you want:

I think part of SweetFX might be still active. Can you try deleting/moving d3d9.dll from the Warband directory (if it's there)?
This line

should disappear from the log, and if it does you can check whether the performance problem with ondemand textures is fixed.

Matt, the option is still there in the graphics menu (at least in mine), and, after turning it off and restarting the game, it remains disabled.

I think he means this:

By the way, I didn't "turn the setting on". I made changes to the auto-detection criteria, which triggers a reload of the setting based on the new criteria.

Are you talking about before or after the patch?

Never bothered with that option since I got a new computer that seems to hold well, but before then I always had it turned off, it really made the FPS drop by a lot.
