View Full Version : Huge fps drop

Hi,

It seems that my experience with MoW is as bitter as it can be. I'm experiencing huge fps drops in single player vs the AI. I've read somewhere that it's a problem with the ai pathfinding and somehow there's a loop that grinds the cpu down.

Anyone found a fix for that or is it just a hidden 'jewel' from the developers ?

I see that MoW Vietnam is out but nobody does anything to fix these serious issues. Even though, it's not their fault ... it's mine, for buying this piece of junk.

Practically I can't play the game, it plays ok for a while and then it goes from 40-50 fps to 7. Also, when it slows down, the GPU usage is very low. I don't know what the hell is happening.

CPU: Intel i5-2400
RAM: 4Gb
GPU: Gigabyte 550Ti GTX

Sorry to say but this is one of the many hidden jewels amongst all the glittering stars the devs decided to put in this game.

Only solution I found so far that does work 100% is:

save -> quit -> restart

By the way, adding memory does prolong the moments between suffering, so there is definitely some infinite loop or mem leak somewhere.

In my case restarting the game doesn't help. I can provide the saved game at the exact moment when this happens ver 1.96. Obviously, something is happening in the background with this game since the glitch exists even when I reload a saved game.

Okay, if you want I can try to download your savefile. Play a couple of minutes and see if it crashes. If not I can get you back the savefile and you can see if your PC manages to survive beyond the point you constantly crash now.

Just let me know.

I never said that the game crashes, it slows down to practically being unplayable.

Here is the specific save game 7238

I'll give it a try this evening and on your semantics issue can you tell me the difference in the unplayability of the game?

Are you having this problem with other game or is just this one?

Can you play a game that is practically a slideshow ? 5-7 fps

Okay, tested your file.

This lag you have is normal in this level. It happens with one type of japanese armour. The moment you nail it with your AT infantry the lags also gone.

So you are right, somewhere the scripting goes wrong for certain type of hardware combo's (not all combo's have this problem somehow) but ranging the scale of min to max hardware and win XP to Win 7 I get this problem and not only me btw.

Attached the file where I just nailed the armour see if it helps you. Then just reload your old and bare with the wait. The rest of the levels gets better but you'll still suffer from it from time to time.
