Remove siege's

[Ghostlead3000]

Hey guys i'm really sick of the laggy stuttering siege's so does anyone know of a mod that removes them that works with DEI may seem drastic but its very annoying when a battle that should have been 15mins taking like an hour on 4 times speed.

Not an option unless you're ok with taking horrible and totally unnecessary casualties.

@Ghostlead3000 The Siege`s are fine. I have no lags or anything else. Reduce your Graphics

[Ghostlead3000]

Its not a graphics problem I sit on about 50fps the game just slows down and animations stutter so changing graphics does nothing its the game not being able to handle it.

No, the sieges are not fine. If you've never run into any siege AI stuttering then you're either very lucky or you haven't played a whole lot of siege battles. And it has nothing to do with graphics settings because the stuttering only starts once the AI begins to pile all its units up in front of the gate or the ladders. I'm quite sure this caused by CA's horrible path finding code getting confused and constantly spamming conflicting movement orders to troops.

Ee is not compatible with mods delete them sieges are fine for me.

This was happening befor Ee

To be honest I doubt it.

To be honest I doubt it.

Search the forum's you will find older post about this also it happens with native just need more units for it to occur due to DEI having larger unit sizes then vanilla.

Then it has to do with the mod not the game.

Someone else was having stuttering awhile ago and eventually found the answer in a certain graphics setting I think. I can't remember where the thread is, though

For my part, I try to avoid big sieges because they're a slideshow for me (only the really big battles). But it happens in vanilla too, if there are enough units. I just figured it was because the pathfinding in siege battles uses a lot of processing power, and my CPU isn't amazing. Is that what people are talking about in this thread, or some other stuttering?

Yeah thats what im talking about im running a i7 3930k overclocked to 4.3ghz I would think ot should be strong enough?

Ive tried putting everything to the lowest except unit size and still stuttering.

[Ghostlead3000]

so i guess there is no sort of way to change sieges to normal land battles or maybe camps?

Tested and worked by me !


Unlimited Video Memory : ON


Seems like there are several graphics option that will use GPU power instead of
CPU power if you set those options ABOVE "high" (very high to extreme) and thereby
reducing CPU burden and in return give you more fps.




Here are the 4 options that I mentioned above :


1. Shadow : set it on "Very High-Extreme" (put it above "high" so it will processed by
GPU instead of CPU)
2. Particle : set it on "Very High-Extreme" (same like above)
3. Unit Detail : set it on "Very High-Extreme" (same like above)
4. Building Detail : set it on "Very High-Extreme" (same like above)


Note : the most important thing here is you have to set those 4 options ABOVE "High" !




And here are several options that I recommend you all to be set like this :


1. Terrain : set it to either Low or Medium
2. Grass : set it to either Low or Medium
3. Trees : set it to either Low or Medium
4. Water : set it to Low - High
5. Distortion Effect and SSAO : should be unchecked (but still optional,
if you have good GPU it might be not a big performance hit)


Note : those 3 settings are really CPU heavy burden alongside Unit Size !

Thank You Feudal !!!!

while "unlimited video memory : on" doesn't work for me, all others are greatly improving my game !

Your my HERO !!!!

This worked great for me no more unit stuttering!! Thanks so much!!

[Ghostlead3000]

wow thanks Fedual that seems to have worked will report back after a few more battles
