Severe performance hit

[Mullen18]

I'm aware that the units are very detailed and your working on making it run better
BUT
My god I can't even run the mod D:

I can play DMUC on generally high settings and EiC for Napoleon on even higher settings.
With ACW I just can't even on fairly low settings, I'm eagerly awaiting a downgrade :')

You are playing with unit size medium?

[Mullen18]

Yep, 180 for the rebs I believe? And 200 for the Union?

no that is large, medium is 160 for Rebels and 180 for Union...

also try to lower/change other things also:
never use Ultra details setting for units (it just makes your machine suffer)
play around with Shader Quality setting to achieve the best performance (for me it is 3)

play around a little and see what suits your pc best

I can play vanilla empire of medium (shader 3 low) no problem at all. On this mod I can run it with quite a lot lower graphics settings, but frame rate drops whenever people or cannons shoot... This kind of ruins it for me. I would prefer it if it was removable like in older versions where you could find it in the data folder.

I wonder if the new models have different levels of detail depending on how close the camera is (like how vanilla ETW and NTW are) If not it would help with the frame rate alot

[musketeer101]

Model detail on medium and unit size on medium is fine in terms of quality for me, and in terms of frame rate. I would also suggest to some people to turn down shaders a bit because a dense cluster of detailed units with high shaders ain't gonna end well....

Making render distances like shougn 2 would be great, with high detail close up and lower further away where you can't actually see details, unless you have a massive screen.

Performance improvements are in work. They will also increase stability of battles a lot.

That would be awesome!

Started my 1st campaign yesterday and it's fantastic except that about every second battle crashes at some point (playing Empire Darth, Napoleon Darth and S2 FOTS without problems).

I am using all@ultra (except unit size which I can't remember atm) + 4SSAA with a 7970 on Win7-64bit. Is there some setting which might reduce the chance of battle crashes?

yep, lower everything that is on ultra... also, play with medium size units. that is how the game is meant to be played (AI performs at its best when you play at medium sized units).
