The Warhammer "I am having performance issues" help thread

[m4cc45]

To the people who are getting artifacting - are you experiencing it any other games?

Are you running any addons (as these are now known to be notoriously unstable)? Have you tried running the scan game files option as well?

Not that it helps but the game is working perfectly on my PC (Q-6600, GF8800 GTS, 4GB RAM, Vista x64). The only thing I've noticed is that the two people I know who have problems are on XP whilst I'm on Vista. Been stable as you like, suffer no d/c's, no lag, RvR with 30+ people is fine.

I'd certainly look into the above though.

Anyone still experiencing performance problems with the game?

Although I installed the nvidia beta drivers and got it running much better, the game still seems to slow right down in world RvR, PQ's, and in camps or cities.

Yep, general framerate is ok but it's clunky as hell and judders/pauses.

so changed res to 1280*900 average of 60fps now

For ppl with Nvidia cards ,try adding the War.exe in the nvidia control panel - 3d settings - program settings . Not sure if ATI have something simular, worth a try if they do.

 

[cr!spy]

Yes I've tried that. Seriously I've tried all the suggestions on warhammeralliance.com - if you guys have seen the massive 60 page thread on there regarding this issue.

Only thing I haven't tried is a complete format of my hard drive and reinstall of the game... but I've heard not even this works, so must be something to do with peoples hardware setups.

Mine's running really smoothly on :

E8400
ATI 4870
4GB Ram
Vista 64

But I'm still crashing out to the desktop, usually in the middle of a PQ, which is really aggravating

My spec:

E6750
8800GTX
4GB Ram
WinXP32

Anyone tried the 178.13 drivers? Any good?

Installed them today and there is a big improvement, although there aren't as many people around so we'll see this evening.

Less stuttering although I did have one CTD in about 4 hours play today.

 

[cr!spy]

Yeah slight improvement in overall game performance, but world RvR is still unplayable. Scenarios seem to run ok for me, but PQ's and entering camps or cities run really poorly.

I aslo get CTD's after 2 hours or more of constant play.

I got a marked improvement from the nVidia beta drivers but also by turning on forced AA, AF and texture filtering. Turning the grass off seems to help too and isn't too noticeable.

How does it play in RvR though?

 

[DampCat]

Mine is running a lot smoother now.

E2140 @ 3Ghz
2gb Ram
Win XP Pro SP3 32bit
