Gyrion Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hi, Basically to put it simply due to the optimisation of the game I can't run Alpha 22 on more than 7 fps, I was wondering if its still possible to play Alpha 21 and if so are there any ways I can play it and host games with my friends who also can't use Alpha 22?

Gyrion To answer your question yes it's possible. However I think figuring out why A22 id way slower than A21 on your machine would be way more useful for us both. @Itms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrion Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks for the reply dude, Idk what to say really, I used to be able to run 0 A.D on Alpha 21 on like Medium Graphics now I run it on the lowest possible graphics and I get 7fps, I just don't mean to be rude when I say it because I love the work the team are doing and adore the game but I do not think it's currently very optimised. I used to play with 5 friends and none of us all on our different PCs could play any big scale games but I think that was an issue that everyone knew about other than that we were all good, now we can't play Alpha 22 without crazy graphical lag. Going on from my previous question don't suppose it'd be okay to ask if you know where to find a link to download Alpha 21 by any chance?

Stan` Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Here is a link : http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-0.0.21-alpha-win32.exe (Assuming windows) I'm really surprised of that performance drop because it doesn't make much sense to me. If you are using a Laptop are you sure it's using the correct gpu have you tried to play with glsl and postp settings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grugnas Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 do you get low fps when you reach more than 300 units per player in game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrion Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks so much and yeah dude I won't lie I don't know much about gpu's and what not I mean do not get me wrong I would absolutely love to play Alpha 22 cause it looks amazing but I wouldn't have a clue with what I am doing trying to use glsl and postp settings for my laptop, I just set everything to the lowest I could in the options menu and yeah more than about 150 if there is more than 2 of us and we all start lagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexis Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Perhaps it were the new unit models, they have a higher polygon count. But it would be really important to do a fair test. For instance just starting Acropolis Bay and not doing anything on the same machine that you have right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPope Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Are you saying that you are playing a match over the internet? It could be a slow internet or your friend overestimating his machine. Just to be sure... Uncheck and drag all-the-way left everything in the center area of the options menu. Leave VSync enabled and possibly Unit Silhouettes. That last one will make the game a bit easier to play. You might have to play around with the bottom two bars of the center-part of the menu. I don't know exactly what is best. If you are playing online. disable observers. To the left of show sky and set the one below it to 0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bots is another way to say it. I'd like to know a bit more about your computer. Could you attach your system_info.txt ? The procedure to get the file is described here https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ReportingErrors It's to help us understand if we introduced something that made the game real slow or if it's just your computer that's old Thanks in advance !
