Severe FPS drops whenever long production queue is displayed

  • Game Version: v.100.17.22308.0

  • Build Number: 481060R

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

FPS drops severely whenever long production queue is displayed. This includes both global production queue and queue from selected buildings/units

Trigger Event:

Any set of actions leading to a long production queue beeing displayed, for example ordering lots of units from multiple production buildings at once.

Repro Steps:

Method 1:

  1. Select 10 barracks;
  2. Order 50 units (shift+q 10 times) → My fps drops from 120 to 30.

Method 2 (the best):

  1. Pick atlanteans pantheon;

  2. Create 50 or more of any military human units;

  3. Select all of them and press “Promote to hero” → My fps drops from 120 to 16;

  4. Turn off “Show Global Queue” in UI settings;

  5. Repeat steps 1-3 AND ;

  6. Instantly unselect these units → No fps drop happens.

For anyone bothered with fps drops: until the problem is solved turn off Global Queue, it helps to improve fps a lot
