[1.7]The game is really laggy now.

[Dot.Shadow]

So I noticed that performance drops drastically after playing no more than one match. No matter how few units are on a map in the 2nd or 3rd game I play the game lags. ToV is fine.

Any idea what's wrong? I saw you did a bit of optimizing, so I guess it could be related to that.

Could be just you, try fiddling with your settings, different maps, are you playing a specific game-modes?

[Dot.Shadow]

I've been testing the new changes in Annihilate. I've tried 4-5 different maps, both EF and vCoH maps. The lag persists.

I'll tweak my settings later and see if it helps.

also keep in mind that no pop limit is nothing the coh engine was designed for

I never really use that anyway.

Could you post your settings and your PC specs?

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2Ghz
8GB ram
Nvidia GeForce 580 GTX
Windows 7

All of my drivers are up to date.

I just tried lowering my settings. The lag shows up after about 1 match.

Settings I've tried with:

Max

Various settings lowered such as shadows, anti-aliasing, explosion detail etc. etc.

It was fine before 1.7, and like I said, ToV works just fine.

[Blackbishop]

What do you mean with this?

Settings I've tried with:

Max

If you mean, "ultra" then no wonder why it runs like that and I'm sure 1.6 would have ran worse. Use high settings at least in shaders IIRC.

ToV will work always fine because it doesn't have an additional faction like we do so it is a bit pointless to compare(let alone we do not modify anything from the original game); due to we are modding the game we always expect it to require more resources than the original.

Btw, do you use a PC to play or a laptop?

[Dot.Shadow]

PC.

Laptop is doomed to lag.

To be honest when I write "Max" it's not really everything on Ultra. Some settings, like the most stressing things such as shadows I have a tendency to stick to high as I know they are quite heavy on any system.

The problem though, is that it persists even after lowering settings quite drastically.

[Blackbishop]

As long as you keep the shader setting lower than ULTRA most of the things will be fine.

I'm afraid we can't offer anything else until the updated soviet models are finished. Perhaps defraging your HDD helps.

Lol I just made a 4v4 with some guys, full of explotions, arty barrages, Katyushas, Gow and IL-2 Stikes, All Factions were in the game ( Mixed Axis, Mixed Allies ) and no lag at all.  Game seems fine to me.

I think Bish is right, try to shape up your Hard Drive or switch off other programs.

Same with my pc. All patches till 1.61 worked fine, no probs at all. But with 1.7 it is lagging beginning at middle to late game even on a 1:1.

Turn off ultra settings, close programs, etc.

[Dot.Shadow]

I tried it with the lowest settings possible. The lag still shows up.

Hmm, strange . After the patch my fps has improved(slightly) but still no change for the worse, haven't had any crashed either.
