Yup, I’ve gotten the same problem while in the 3rd studio. It’s not as bad, however, very noticeable FPS loss. The only difference is that my games was modified (Money was added).
Specs:
i5 3570 4ghz
8gb ram
nvidia 660 TI 2GB
Year 65
Noticed FPS Drops after getting R&D AND Hardware Lab
Nothing before that.
HOWEVER, Playing in windowed mode helps! I have a increase of 10 fps+ when running in windowed mode.
TL;DR
Windowed mode for a fps boost.
Also, i have very low fps even when cpu usage is under 50%
It has never been above.
SPECS:
Intel Core 2(DUO) 2.667 ghz.
AMD Radeon HD 4800 Series.
8 GB Ram.
Running DUAL Monitor setup.
I play always in windowed mode, doesn’t help - but maybe it’s worse in full screen. don’t want to test it through. ^^
I’ve the same issue.
Another interesting thing I’ve noticed, is that sometimes after activating a boost (the higher the boost the better, although I don’t know if that’s just a coincidence) the lag disappears - until the next popup. Doesn’t matter if it’s an end-of-phase pop-up or just clicking up the action menu, but once you close it down and go back to development, the lag starts again. It doesn’t always work to start a boost to remove the lag, but it does somtimes, and when it happens it happens immediately when the boost starts taking effect, so I’m fairly sure it’s related.
Edit: It also helps to just save/reload.
I’m uploading a test-build for those affected by the white-screen and fps lag issues.
If you want to help us test it, please write an email to support@greenheartgames.com and mention your order number
I sent a email about the test build but I got the game from the PirateBay, so I don’t know if I am still qualified since I don’t have a order number.
I really don’t think you should be posting illegal links on here…
sorry, I just don’t know if I am qualified or not for the test build since I don’t have a order number.
If you pirated the game, you don’t qualify for anything…
so that means I can’t get the test-build.
I’m speechless… you posted this:
http://forum.greenheartgames.com/t/what-s-taking-so-long-greenheart-games/3205
and hadn’t even bought the game?
well, I pirated it just to try it out.
@Fruit_Platter god, you’re an idiot, aren’t you? Its 8 freaking bucks, plus a free demo version…
On topic, I’m experiencing severe fps lag as well, started happening around year 30. Right now, it seems to be worst when I’m training any of my staff or doing big AAA games. Turning off the sound helped a bit, but only for a short time, then it was right back to being bad when I started training my staff and starting on a new AAA expansion for my MMO.
I’d love to send my save file, but I can’t find the location listed above in Windows 7.
My specs are
Intel® Core i3-2310 CPU @ 2.10 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M
6 GB ram
Running Windows 7 64-bit
My PC have great problems with FPS in this game. I looked another topics with problems with FPS, and found, what bubbles, when they begin to generating, PC freezing and i cant do anything.
I think, it is enough to delete them from game, becouse, operations when games start to be created are using many resources of PC, plus animation and paths of bubbles are eating too many resources of PC too.
I know that bubbles here for beauty, but may be need to do in settings option, which can hide bubbles?
Same problem here, same conditions.
AAA game, lots of bubbles, project going on. Game has no more than half a FPS if I were to estimate.
GeForce GTX 560M 4GB (that’s what it says in dxdiag. I thought it had 3GB memory)
i7-2630QM @2.00-2.70 Ghz
16 GB RAM
Win 7 x64
To be fair to the guy, it was Greenheart who put up the cracked version.
Does it still qualifies as piracy?
Nevertheless, he has no right asking for patches without supporting the game.
