DEI causing stuttering during seiges (patch 14).

[AngryPolack]

Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing massive stuttering during sieges with DEI installed. I played a vanilla siege and there was no lad, with DEI it was pretty bad. I have an i5-4670K and a GTX 760. Siege AI seems massively improved btw.

When does the stuttering happen? Constant since the beginning of battle? Intermittent? or during specific stages of the siege?

Scratch that, after further testing still getting stuttering without DEI installed. Looks like when the rest of the AI army starts to ascend the ladders the stuttering starts.

Thus why I asked if it happened in a specific part of the battle. Everyone experiences this lag at some point due to ladder pathfinding issues.

DeI units have more men, hence more people fight in sieges. Also our units have high level of detail. When in siege, your PC has to handle all of the buildings, smoke from burning gate (lower particle effects help), in many cases also water not to mention bugs with pathfinding. All of that stuff makes sieges run slower.

Siege stuttering is not DeI:s fault, nor mods in general. The fault is in the game engine. Ever since Empire Total war was released we have had this issue. The sad thing about it is that a good processor won't make it go away. The problem is pathfinding. During siege battles the ai can't decide what orders to give so it goes in a constant loop between diffrent orders which takes alot of processor power and couses lag...

so does patch 14 cause more lag in sieges?

OP tested and confirmed the problem was with the patch beta and not DeI.
