I have been playing this game since near launch on an old 7970 graphics card. Last week I upgraded to a 5700 XT. No settings in the game have changed, and no other hardware has changed, but the game has become completely unplayable to me. Any time anyone ages up, I get a lag spike and can hardly control the game for thirty seconds. Half of the games end with me minutes behind other players without any disconnect. The civ select screen also lags for me.
I just “won” a 3v3 where I was twenty five game minutes behind the other players.
I’m experiencing extreme stuttering and horrible framerate drops since upgrading to an RTX3090 from a GTX1080ti. The 1080ti ran flawlessly.
My guess is that the devs have not yet done any compatibility testing/optimizations with this newer hardware. I hope they put the time and resources into fixing these issues, otherwise they should put some “Maximum System Requirements” on the box.
Im playing the game with normal fps for a GPU 1660 and CPU ryzen 3600 (around 118-140 fps)
Starts droping fps as the game goes on. But nor the gpu(not even the dram) or cpu or RAM reach 70% during the game but the FPS goes down to 10. Not sure why. Havent changed anything on pc.
Just for the record is a desktop and temperature doesnt reach 55 degrees
Any ideas?
Hey, I have a 1660S and a 3300X, and I have my max frame rate locked to a stable 100FPS.
The issue is with the CPU. CPU is stuck on single core (or thread?) usage for AoE2
Since the latest major UI update, I’ve been having the exact same issue!
Whereby during a multiplayer online game, every few minutes or so the frame rates drop to half and essentially lags, then after 30 seconds or so the game speeds back up frantically.
I can barely do anything when the frame rate drops, it won’t register my clicks.
Game used to play perfectly fine before the latest update, so I’m 100% sure it’s that. But in any case I play on a Ryzen 3700u Vega 10.
