Low campaign FPS

**YourKaiser** · February 07, 2010, 10:38 AM

It's funny that the FPS when im on the campaign map is worse than when in battles.. Lowering graphics settings doesnt help one bit.. Its especially around krakow, you know in that area.

Is there a way to make the FPS better? In mods like SS etc, the fps is just great, no issue. Im just wondering what triggers its... When i compare the SS campaign to KGCM, i see that in KGCM theres typically a lot more trees in "big piles" when in SS they are more spread out..

Is that ANY way to do something about this low FPS issue? Its worse with fow off ofcourse, but its kinda bad with fow on too

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

You can try the fps booster about 3 threads down from this one you can turn campaign map shadows down and the campaign map resolution down also .

You can delete the folder terrain and the maps.rwn file and start the game and have it build the world with vanillia textures which are much easier to run but alot less attractive to look at .

You could splash out 100 bucks for a graphics card that will run the game properly thats a hard one i know but hey it will work lol.

My laptop has a P8400 2,26 GHz, a 9600M, 4GB ram etc.. Should cover a silly campaign map really, if it was a hardware issue, i wouldnt ask, but it clearly isnt.

i tried the fps booster, hard to say if it helped a bit.

Im gonna try the terrain thing you suggest, i dont care much for looks but more for performance ;D.

Thanks

I don't know if this will help but I get a big lag on my campaign map too, but only when I have an agent, army, or a settlement selected. If I click on an empty map tile clearing the hud then the lag disappears completely. Could this be what you are experiencing?

**YourKaiser** · February 07, 2010, 01:12 PM

Well yes i experience that too.. When any unit is selected, then going around the map will decrease my fps GREATLY..
Happens in all mods though, so i figured the fix was to just unselect any selected character when i move about

.. no biggie, i've gotten used to it anyway.

Its not the low-fps im talking about though

Strange you would be getting a fps problem on a decent computer

its not that hard to run ?? have you tried clearing your cache files after all the modding in your game??

**YourKaiser** · February 07, 2010, 02:11 PM

The cache in MW2? I have not, no.

I dont get this problem in M2TW but in Empire it plays havoc- but funnily enough only when a ship is selected; and even then I only have it on the odd day or so. If anyone finds the real cause of this problem please post it up! Es muy irritante!
