Men Of War : Assault Squad performance problems

Thanks for checking!

Tried your "fixed" .exe and no improvement. I bought this game less than 4 hours ago and I already want a refund.

Look at this: http://i.imgur.com/Q2p5d.jpg

This is a disgrace. I run Wargame: European Escalation fully maxed out with SSAO at 40+ FPS and this game can't render two squads, a tank and some ugly terrain at more than 5 FPS? This "engine," if you can call it such, is a joke.

I've tried all the fixes listed and I'm still getting very poor fps.

Is there anything else I could try, or anyway to downgrade to an earlier patch?

Thanks.

Developers are investigating the poor performance issue. If you're willing to help, please download and put this test executable into the game folder.

This is a test exe, it won't work normally over the Net. Please run it and create a local MP match (with you as the only player) and tell us whether you have performance problems in it or not.

Hi,

I tested with same armies in the middle of a city with both my fix and the performance_test.exe and I cant find any diffrence in FPS. For me this have great chance to be the final solution.

From my observations many people have performance issues related to the bad patch 2.00.11 exe but they dont realize it because in multiplayer game the worst machine is draging all the game down.

There are too, many who for whatever reason dont have such problems.

For me good information can be obtained after test with both groups and seeing their results.It will be sad if the game ruins for the others.So would be very nice if as much as possible people can join the test.

I have to say too that this game shows a level of craftsmanship I had never seen before. The attention to details is just remarkable! It is the best I had played and I can ensure you that I had played everythings that worth but this one gets on top.

The only small thing I found missing is the ability to give chained orders with the shift key that include actions.As exaple to soldier: go this lockation - throw a grenade there- then run into cover there- and turn this dirrection. I think this will lower the micro managment a lot.

Thank you.

Quickly tried the modified .exe, I do seem to gain a performance boost.

Still can't tilt the camera so I'm looking "forward" though without FPS dropping to 20 and below, birds-eye is a pretty steady at ~60.

I'll test it some more with different maps when I can.

Hi, I also got the same problems as above, I got the polish-english version too, after patching to 2.0 i got around 8-15 fps, I just tried the modified not gotye exe, with that i got 20-25, so its better, but then i checked the cracked exe too, and i have 40-50 fps with it at the same conditions.. so its better with the modded exe, but still not the best.

I have Steam version. No GotY, normal version 2.00.11. Game doesn't start with this .exe file.

Are you sure? I cannot create LAN game. LAN option cannot be selected in game menu, Skirmish is also disabled. And I can enter Net: Multiplayer->Internet->Gamespy login->Game room.

I recently stumbled upon this thread. I have noticed that there is a stark contrast between the 1.85 version and the 2.0 version that I updated my Assault Squad to: The preformance issues come in somewhere between that 1.85 and the current version.

Somewhere along those lines, the preformance just turned to shit, to keep it simple.

In the editor mode and in any other mode, it is clear that there are immense problems with the maps in that FPS is a complete slug, no matter how powerful your system is.

My take on it would be to pick apart the 2.0 patch, and somehow pinpoint the *exact* problem-file that causes the system to slow down so much. If that specific file, and its functional relatives, can be eliminated, the preformance of the game could possibly skyrocket.

The last exe file (performance test) only allows for multiplayer Internet play (no LAN, no skirmish), so I just had to test by myself. There doesn't seem to be much of a difference if any, at least for me.
