Why do so many people have problems with fps?

Stuttering huh?  Read my guide. Force single threading to keep from freezing for seconds at a time.

Maybe I shouldn't post this...keeping the laggers and freezers in the dark helps my KD to be even greater.

Forcing single threading will force rendering to run in the same thread with game logic, meaning that game logic runs slower, rendering runs slower, input handling runs slower, network handling runs slower...
Unless you have a single core CPU or an older weak dual core that is utter garbage at handling threading, yours is a horrible idea. Try enabling that option on a decent PC and enjoy your frame rate being halved.

Got an old i7 920 at 2.67 Ghz (unclocked at the moment, usually around 3.8 Ghz), 12 gig okey DDR3 (it was cheap, okey?!), GTX560 and a decent SSD drive. And yet, the game sometimes lag for me. The more content, the more lag it seems. One can always hope for some spring cleaning..

I've got pretty much the same setup and it's laggy sometimes for me aswell.

no problem here ;  i5 2500k , gtx 460 , 8 GB RAM.
Stable 120 FPS , 250-300 uncapped at 1920*1200 , with 100+ players.
you guys need better cpu.

CPU has very low effect on the game performance. I have INtel Core i3 2100 and overclocked Radeon 8650 HD, and I get 500 FPS with all settings maxed on open field maps, 300+ on heavy forest maps. It's mostly about the GPU...

the game's multithreading is coded like shit and becomes desynced.  this causes 3 second long freezes in some cases.

by all means, don't follow my advice if you experience freezing.  i'd love to slaughter you during your frame freeze.

its pretty fun tbh

Meows optimalization files a little bit solved this problem for me - but not completely. I guess its something with the new textures/maps.

But final solution was to buy another PC, now i can run everything on maxed out settings. But before i didn't have a bad PC either, I had i7 2GHz, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 1GB ram.

And I remember absolutely clearly, that with this PC i was able to run cRPG on maxed out settings smoothly as well a few months ago.

Never experienced freezes, so my point about your PC being shit still stands.
Also lol @ "multithreading is coded like shit and becomes desynced", it's funny when people talk about things they know absolutely nothing about and you can already see it from the terminology they use.

This is only a guess, but given that TW has done horribad memory management, I wouldn't be surprised if there where some errors in concurrent code too.

[Anal Bleeding]

the problem is the mod. it is very poorly developed.

I wouldn't be surprised either, all software has bugs. That still doesn't justify the guy with a blotware filled computer who's giving universal (wrong) advice based only on his (biased) observations.

The difference between 60 fps and 120 fps is just retarded in this game. 60 fps feels like 20 and 120 feels nice and smooth, as 60 should be. Having the game run smooth is really important for my performance, but I get quite a lot of framedrops even though my rig should be up to it. Used to play at max settings, but some maps just kill fps.

CPU GPU has very low lower effect on the game performance. .. It's about the GPU CPU. (100+ players)

fixit for ya.
SB i3 ~ enough performance for the game.

Re: Why do so many people have problems with fps?

Nerf trees, especially in maps like "Forest Lake". Nerf scene props , especially in "Riot in Swadia", "Battle in Swadia". These maps can cause massive lag.

Long freezes are problems with texture LODs I think.

When Low Resolution Textures and the Optimization was still working I had stable 120 fps when I put it on. No other performance mod worked as well as that one. However, after that we first got Dede's armors and many more. I think that game can't support amount of gear we have in this mod.

Only things that helps cRPG performance are texture details, quality and character details and quality if you play overpopulated server. That is the proof that we have too many textures in this mod.

I never experienced ______, so nobody has a problem with it.
