Is there a way to fix the super low WTF framerates in the third office with the R&D lab + the hardware lap? It’s very upsetting, I enjoyed it up to the very end but at year 23 I am running a solid 4 framerates best case. I would love to have this fixed, any suggestions?
Hey, Did you check out the hardware requirements on our Steam page?
If you can let us know your;
Processor
Graphics Cards + Vram
Ram
And any other relevant information that would be great!
I do indeed match to the suggested system specifications
Processor: Pentium Dual Core @ 3.0 GHz (E5700)
AMD Radeon HD 6670 @ 2807 MB of V Ram
4 GB of RAM
My game client is up to date, my graphics drivers are completely up to date.
Thanks for the fast reply.
Your spec looks good to go. I would suggest creating an exception in your Anti Virus for the following paths;
C:/Users/YOURUSER/Appdata/Local/Game Dev Tycoon - Steam/Local Storage/
where YOURUSER is your Windows user name.
To View the App Data folder please allow viewing of Hidden Files and Folder;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/show-hidden-files
For The Steam edition if you navigate to;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\Your ID\239820\remote
(Your path may be slightly different if you did not install in the default location)
C:\Program Files (x86)Steam\steamapps\common\Game Dev Tycoon
(Your path may be slightly different if you did not install in the default location)
This will prevent any lag caused by your anti virus actively scanning files.
Also check that your defrag isnt scheduled at the same times that you play and that if you are using windows index service that it is completed and not active, as this causes slowdowns. And of course antivirus scheduled scans.
Lastly check your running process for any CPU hoggers that aren’t needed. Eg “Fluff” Programs and apps.
Some people do experience lag while others don’t. Its very hard to diagnose why without access to the machines ourselves. Checking your CPU + GPU temps is also a great diagnostic measure.
I don’t use an anti-virus because I’m competent enough to get along without one. I don’t have any CPU hoggers and my temperatures are within normal amounts. Thanks for the help anyway, guess I’ll just have to uninstall and wait until I get my new PC.
@twistyknobtank what resolution are you running? Could you post a screenshot of the game when you are in the central part of the office?
1366x768
I can’t even load the game, it’s too frustratingly slow.
Close programs,update your drivers, try using a cleaner program, etc…
I already did that, updated drivers and told Charlie I had no hoggers open. It’s absolutely positively the game and not me. Just look into this when you update next, no more can be done.
Update - So it seems I can play the game for about 10 minutes before getting hit with the lag hammer.
Try purging ur rAM
