Bloke Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello All - I'm new to the game and this is my first post. Greetings! 🙂 I'm enjoying the game so far, but struggling to find the best settings for a good and stable frame rate. Any tips? If I hit "default" on both Graphics and Terrain Detail Distance it swings wildly between 60fps (my max with v-sync on) and 20fps. But, so far, adjustments don't help much. What are the real frame-rate killers? Many thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 There may be one bug that might cause wild swings particularly on your system. Other than that, the user's manual lists the various settings in descending order of their biggest influence in the framerate (for most), page 32 f. An RTX2060 should generally perform rather decent, so my money would actually be on that particular bug which will be fixed with the next patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks for the replies. 🙂 The more I play the game the more I realise you spend most of the time staring through a fuzzy TIS or a small window anyway. If you unbutton, stand up and admire the scenery, then a frame rate drop is the least of your problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too, but it all changes when you play online along with team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 I look forward to online play someday. I need to work out what I'm doing first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on EST time (Toronto Canada) I'd be happy to setup a local server on my high speed fibre internet and try some small coop scenarios with you? GibsonM has been running some training sessions on Saturdy evenings (6:00 pm my time), which is Sunday morning his time in Australia.

Bloke Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Cheers for the offer. I think I need many more hours before diving into online play, though! I'm on GMT (London). Which would make GibsonM's sessions about midnight for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the one BadgerDog is referring to - that is dedicated series for North Americans / Australians / New Zealanders for Q&A and Tutorials. If you mean the usual BG sessions, they work out to be around 0830 GMT - as detailed in the posts: BG ANZAC - 04 MAR 0830GMT (with TeamViewer support) - 4.250(v2) Next meeting: 0830 GMT on Thursday, March 4th. 0830 in London (GMT / Zulu) 1630 in Perth 1800 in Darwin 1900 in Adelaide 1830 in Brisbane 1930 in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra 2130 NZST in Auckland Local equivalents: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210304T0830 Edited March 6, 2021 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
