However, when I come into contact with a person or trigger a tutorial, my framerate instantly drops down to 1-2 FPS, causing me to wait for this drop to finish. Rinse and repeat for pretty m

[quote who="weller1980" reply="225" id="2734795"]i really hope we get some kind of patch for this soon, at the moment its prety much unplayable. [/quote] I hope so too

[quote who="mandela80" reply="207" id="2733972"]Hm, yeah, seems I was a bit too optimistic about fps rise. I think it's around the same, but disabling game cursor at least solves the stuttering scrolling problem which for me is a big improvement.[/quote] This didn't work for me but i have read it has worked for others. For what ever reason Elemental seems to be using barely any gpu if at all and not using my cores right. Stardock knows about it thanks to thi

[quote who="db0" reply="20" id="2733971"]I'm surprised nobody has linked here yet: https://forums.elementalgame.com/391334 Kargion, I assume that you have the problem only when you have cities in view? have you tired using the cloth map? FPS should pick up enough to allow you to play the game that way at least, if you got low FPS even on the cloth map, then you've go a different issue than the above one.[/quote] My problem is the same as everyone e

Yea, right now I'm only playing the game to help give information to fix the problem. Due to the low fps it makes it almost un-playable.

Hey guys, So fyi to nvidia users. The auto update thinks the july 2009 driver is the latest for my 260M fyi. Here is a new debug file. Even after updating the graphics card im getting some major fps issues. http://pastebin.ca/1925418

Kyro, Very wired. It seems nvidia's auto update thinks that the july 2009 version is the latest. Here is a link to the problem still happening with up-to-date drivers: http://pastebin.ca/1925418

[quote who="ferang" reply="7" id="2731589"]whats with the caps... chill out... he is trying to help[/quote] Yea, I over re-acted. I fixed my post apologies all around. Got to worked up.

FYI be careful with the debugger tool. My print out showed my driver being a year old when its the newest nvidia one that came out in july. Going to check and verify this when i get home. Let you guys know what i find.

This is very odd since this is the driver i have installed. I will update it and see what the debugger says. This may be another issue lol Version: 258.96 WHQL Release Date: <td id="contentsummaryright" cols

At least they have read the posts and know that we are all seeing the same issue and getting the same errors in our debug logs. I bet we see a patch in the next few days to fix this hopefully.

http://pastebin.ca/1924764  I get a tone of leak warnings too.

[quote who="p22" reply="140" id="2730571"]Maybe some of Core i5/i7 configurations get boost, when setting affinity to single CPU, due to Turbo Boost tehnology. If other cores are prevented from being used, CPU will overclock remaining core and give more power to the game. This, on the other hand, doesn't exist on older Intel, as well as AMD machines.[/quote] Core i5/i7 processors use turbo boost on their own. Lets say for some reason elemental is using

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="137" id="2730442"] Quoting Praetoriani, reply 134But Neil, how does that explain the problems for us with two or three cores (and for whom changing affinity settings does not help)? Fact is, it appears the GPU is not doing much if anything at all. Personally I think there is an issue thats causing the game to be 100% cpu bound which is why the GPU is fairly idle.[/quote] I think you hit it right on the nail. That w

Yea my system runs sins fine on maxed settings. I also run Crysis on high with very little problem. Windows 7 x64 Intel® Core™ i7 740QM Quad Core Processor, 1.73GHz (2.93GHz Turbo Mode, 6M Cache) 3GB RAM 1G Nvidia Gefore 260M

Same issue, i have a post with the debug file attached. Hopefully it helps support debug this.

I tried checking the mouse hardware option and it didn't help. Thanks for the advise though any help is great. Here is the link to pastebin : http://pastebin.ca/1924764 Thanks, Karg

All, Im having some major performance issues even on the lowest settings. It seems to run around 2 fps all the time. My setup is: Intel® Core™ i7 740QM Quad Core Processor, 1.73GHz (2.93GHz Turbo Mode, 6M Cache) 3GB RAM 1G Nvidia Gefore 260M Im not sue why i have such bad performance. Please advise. Thanks, Karg
