Lagging slowing things to a crawl

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: 100.18.419.0

  • Build Number: 17139432

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

Sometimes the game starts really badly, literally slowing things to a crawl. Basically, I can still scroll around the map but the in-game models and action start stuttering like crazy. Every second, there’ll be a microsecond of movement before it stops again.

Trigger Event:

This lagging happens randomly. I found that it usually starts occuring whenever units are taking a lot of actions during the late game like building a wonder.

Repro Steps:

  1. Start a skirmish.
  2. Play for long enough where there are a lot of units on screen.
  3. Start building a wonder or a lot of buildings and watch things slow to a crawl.

pathing and unit AI are still singlethreaded, you’re watching the cpu being overwhelmed on a single core and thus both server slows down and your fps plummets
