I cant explain exactly, but something has changed and it looks quite better. Perhaps you need to tweak your graphics settings now. "...along with that a new level of quality in the graphics." There's a new graphics quality? Hmmm .. I haven't noticed that. Where is set if it's an option? Thanks .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is referring to things like railway embankments, etc. and other new items which the map creator needs to use when building the map / scenario. These newer items are not automatically applied retrospectively to existing maps / scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormrider_sp Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I was referring to smoke, lights, shadows and effects like explosions, canons firing and raising dust, things like that. Perhaps it was already there but got multiplied by the new 3d models, idk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Which part of the furry animal are you not comfortable with? 😺 Jokes aside, we made a fix to the code and will release it when it's ready? Not sure when exactly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Colossus Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 to add another issue: i experience frequent freezes or lockups with the update; when this happens, simply closing steel beasts doesn't work, it usually requires a system reboot to break the freeze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one yesterday just like that after clicking on "Print Map". Couldn't get no matter what, to task manager to force close Steel Beasts. Had to force reboot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Are we going to see a hot-fix for this anytime soon? FPS still in the crapper. Not enjoyable. Don't want to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosmarus Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just adding my 2 cents. I'm running RTX 2080Ti, not the fastest one on the block anymore but not the slowest one either. I used to get completely playable FPS with everything cranked up but now it drops me well below 20s. By fiddling with terrain detail distance slider I seem to get the best results, but I guess this is already common knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDog Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure why others are having such FPS problems. I have a 4 year old MacBook Pro 15” 2017 (Model A1707) Intel Core i7 3.1 GHz machine with an internal Radeon 560 dGPU, which is my primary computer for business and general use. Obviously with the internal dGPU on the Mac, I was struggling in the last year had to run SB with much lower screen resolutions and reduced settings just to get FPS in the 19's and 20's range to make it playable at all. Then my wife (God bless her) noticed how much time I spent in SB and she bought me a Sapphire AMD 5700XT graphics card mounted in an external chassis (Razer X Chroma) which plugs into the TB3 port on my Mac. I'm running updated and current Windows 10 under Apple's Bootcamp, booting from a standalone "external" Samsung T7 SSD, which works great by the way. I have a Dell 27" 144 Hz Gaming Monitor plugged into the back of the 5700XT via a the Razer X Chroma Displayport connection. I've been running 21.2.3 AMD current drivers successfully on Windows 10 and I set SB to the MAXIMUM screen resolution it allows and crank up the graphics settings. I get 57 FPS to 60 FPS all the time regardless of screen activity with SB 4.250. It hardly varies and I suspect it could go even higher, but must be limited in the SB code to 60 FPS? So, why am I having such success with FPS with this configuration while others with even more powerful graphics cards in actual native Windows PC's are struggling? What am I not understanding?

These things can vary from system to system. There are an enormous amount of variables beyond hardware models and drivers versions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
