Abuz Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 At 200 population 2 vs 2, even with the graphics turned down to maximum the game jerks to death. The fluidity is ruined. Formations hesitate to fight their way through, often react badly to the enemy. It's super annoying. No ease, no fun. A good old stronghold from the 2000s works much better. Too bad, it was tempting. Disappointed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player of 0AD Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Are you running applications in the background? Maybe the developers should focus on better performance instead of changing the game-play all the time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 @AbuzDo you happen to play on a laptop? They usually have two GPUs and for some reason the game often runs on the integrated instead of the dedicated GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime you can force it in the NVIDIA/AMD control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abuz Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, No I don't have any applications in the background. I don't play online but against AI so it must not be a network problem. It's not a laptop. I'm on a real desktop PC with : Windows 7 icore 7 12 GB RAM Passive Graphics Card Palit GeForce GTX 1650 KalmX 4GB GDDR5 2 x SSD RAID 0 All other games work very well: - Xonotic (60 fps) - Call of the wild is ok (42fps) - All stronghold works very very well. - Steel division 2 doesn't seem to be a problem for me although i have not played it too much. - SC2 with 8 players is very smooth... No, I don't understand the problem with A0D... Happy for you otherwise. Edited March 13, 2022 by Abuz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Please understand: There are games with actual gigantic budgets that don't perform as well as 0ad. Developers work hard on lag and performance issues, but they are not easy tasks. Some maps have more lag than others. When units try to path through overlapping Baobab trees it causes a lot of lag. I think the least laggy map is mainland with subalpine biome. Also, if you are on multiplayer some lag can be from players with bad connections. I hope you can manage the lag and continue to consider the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 When you say it's jerky do you have 10 FPS or 40 FPS? I know I start at 200 something and it goes lower and I have a laptop with a 1070. A few things you can do to help us pinpoint the issue. Press F11 when the game lags and take a screenshot (F2) (they are stored in my documents) Press Shift + F11 when the game lags and upload the profile.txt file https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths You might also upload userreport_hwdetect.txt and system_info.txt from that folder. Any help is appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abuz Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 OK for the good cause. I did F11 then F2 and Shift+F11 then F2 again. Here are my screenshots and profile files...etc after closing the game. Between 14 and 20 FPS average with drops to 7 or 4 FPS. Hope this helps. Thank you for your work. profile.txt userreport_hwdetect.txt system_info.txt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Seems like your CPU might be the issue here. This game is really CPU bound :/ Your CPU is from 2008 It might get a bit better in A26 but you won't get a satisfactory experience, I'm sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if hardware specifications are not good enough for advanced graphics 0AD should not allow users to turn that settings on or a really annoying warning message so that they will turn it off themselves, This could help other players in Team games because someone told me that game run as fast as the slowest hardware in play.

ronwis0122 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I used to play Commandoes when I was 12. I really loved playing that game and had played all of its parts. Ever since I have grown up I have been looking everywhere in search of commandos without any luck. But, now I have found a better version of commandos in wildfire games and cannot wait for another second to play it. Cannot thank you enough.
