FPS issues with SS6.4

[andqui]

I'm installing SS in a new machine, which should be more than capable of running m2tw just fine. As a benchmark, I have configured the options so that if I launch Kingdoms: Britannia, and start a quick battle, I have no FPS issues. When I do the same with Stainless STeel, I get extremely poor frame rates. Graphics settings and troop numbers in each battle are the same.

I am using Nvidia Inspector, and can confirm that it is working with the default Britannia version- does SS use a different .exe file, or something like that. On my old machine, SS6.4 was actually a step up in performance from default, so I'm puzzled as to why I'm having trouble now. Also, this problem is just for the Battle map stuff- the campaign map and the turn times are no problem at all.

thanks

I have found the problem- something is forcing high AA on when I run SS, but not when I run with the default game. Can anyone think of a reason that Nvidia Inspector might be doing this- In the Kingdoms profile I have AA set to application-controlled, and with the default game I'm able to turn off AA or set it to x2. This doesn't happen with SS, even though I think they use the same .exe (?). Any ideas?

I'll look into it, strange. No quick idea springs to mind, if you know how launch 6.4 with a bat file and the cfg, also let me know what your windowed settings are currently
