    A mod which optimize the game like : when the dezoom, unit disapear, just show icon, or better, with key like F1 or other, we can show only icons unit, for the end of bery huge game, for have 60 fps for low computer, is ot exist? sorry for my bad english, i have always 60fps, and when there is 600-700 unit in the game, the game run at 10-15 fps, this is because i have too much unit, i think icon remplace by unit will be better

    When you zoom out and units "hide" behind their icons the 3D models are already removed.

    As colin poitned out the game does that (and a dozen other things) already. Few people are specialist in "doing as little calculation work as possible" as graphics engineers:

    I agree this is propably a problem with your computer, not the game.
    Since you got an I5 that means you have a Intel HD Graphics card, and CoherentUI_host is notorious for being run on that (weaker) card. Wich people also keep forgetting to update the drivers for :)

    Actually if you configure to run Coherent on Nvidia it's will work better likely. Uber has set special flag on PA.exe to make it use Nvidia by default, but they can't do the same for Coherent because it's signed executable and only Coherent Labs can do that.

    So worth to check. :)

    The PA client is a very, very modified Chromium 28 browser*. So it uses a bunch of CoherentUI_host processes (up to 32) for the entrie rendering.
    Wich normally is not a problem, except Nvidia insists on running it on the Intel HD card. I had to go into the Nvdia control programm and manually add each full path to the list to override the behavior.

    You have a Intel HD 4600 on that CPU:

    *Might sound odd at the first glance, but is actually quite a stroke of genius for this game.
