There is something very poorly optimized in the new update

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 93001
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Indicative FPS of 30 to 50 with F11 active, but the feeling is to be playing 15 FPS. This did not happen in the previous Patch. Impossible to be my computer.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Use integrated graphics card. Intel HD Graphics (yes, previously the game worked fine without an off-board video card).
  2. Play with the rest of the hardware with the minimum requirements.
  3. Start the game and watch the Lobby, it will be slow. This was normal before and didn’t bother me, but now it’s worse. Because before in matches it worked normally, without feeling of delay even in 4v4 matches. Now, even if you launch a game alone or edit a scenario, it will appear that the frame rate is below what your FPS indicator show.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Run without any performance issues, somewhere between 30-50 FPS (smooth) as before.

:arrow_forward: DXDIAG

Enabling the Smooth Serif Font option doesn’t solve the problem for me. As some have reported. But it could be a clue to where the problem is.
