Just installed Stronghold 3, I ran it and it was like damn lag. Even whenthe firefly studio logo appeared(nothing fancy, it just fades into view) it lags. I have Stronghold Crusader and it is very smooth but with S3 it gets very lag... The whole menu is also very sluggish. Mouseover and it takes time for a button to just glow, clicking it also, sound first then animation follows.. Could it be my specs in my sig? I can run Stronghold Crusader very smoothly with my rig and its awesome but then now even Stronghold 3's menu can't handle

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Nov 22 2011, 07:50 PM) You need a GPU bro... Even for menu my GPU can't handle? ok.. Very hard for me to upgrade my proc, most also upto Athlon II X4 635 only ><And possibly to change the CPU since your soon to be obtained GPU (6770) would be bottlenecked by the CPU. Added on November 22, 2011, 8:09 pm QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Nov 22 2011, 08:02 PM) I don't think AMD Athlon II X4 635 is that bad. It's nearly comparable to the Q8400 Quad Core in gaming performance. HD 6770 isn't exactly a very high end GPU also. no :/ Dunno how am I going to get it, super tight budget... http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/188?vs=89 Edit: Oh, my bad. Just realized that the Athlon II X4 635 is under TS' Wishlist. TS, you already have this processor? This post has been edited by BenSow: Nov 22 2011, 08:09 PM |

QUOTE(herojack41 @ Nov 23 2011, 07:06 AM)  get a gpu and a extra stick of 2gb ramQUOTE(rendude @ Nov 23 2011, 08:12 AM) crusader is in 2d...stronghold 3 is in 3d...and still very buggy. suggest you wait for a month or two for more patches to be able to play correctly. Ok.. But then I haven't even entered the game :/ the menu itself is so lag already.. I don't think the firefly studios logo appearing is in 3D gua..QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Nov 23 2011, 08:16 AM) Get at least 4670 can play already. Rm140 170 can get on sale Im getting a 6770 next monday |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Nov 23 2011, 01:36 PM) Try your HD 6770 first when it arrives next Mon, then report back your findings. Fingers crossed, it will fix your issue in Stronghold 3. Yeah thinking bout that... If cannot I hope I'll get back to the shop in time for them to still recognize me. lol QUOTE(ray123 @ Nov 23 2011, 02:11 PM) I read that stronghold 3 is crappy and full of bugs anyway. Probably still fresh...Added on November 23, 2011, 3:40 pmDoes 1st loading take very long? My one loads like hell -.- the sword is moving so bloody slowly.. Added on November 23, 2011, 4:25 pmWell I finally got into the game.. got like 1-5 fps at lowest res and settings.. Got back out into the menu and everything was alot smoother lol.. Tried to play again and this time the game loaded instantly.. gameplay still around 1-5fps so I'm guessing it's my GPU now  This post has been edited by BenSow: Nov 23 2011, 04:25 PM |

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Nov 23 2011, 05:31 PM) I thought that TS is using Sempron now... According to his sig. That proc is in my wishlist  Using unlocked Sempron so technically I'm Athlon now Added on November 24, 2011, 12:34 amPlayed in on an i5-430m with intel graphics.. Also lag so I'm putting the blame on my GPU now Agreed the game alot of bugs... Have to get used to it from Crusader but still some classic elements are in What bums me is that the ox tethers do everything on their own o.o ok.. im off topic already ><This post has been edited by BenSow: Nov 24 2011, 12:34 AM |
