Weird lag and server performance in stable build

Your 560ti should only have 1gb of ram. I assume you are playing in SLI? That will not affect games that each up video memory as much as having more video ram will. The game will take over 2 gb of ram during the course of a game. Ever played Skyrim with mods, that sucker will take almost 3 GB of video ram in seconds and leave you with a stuttering mess.

Like I told you, two GPUs doesn't matter, the game doesn't support crossfire, sli, whatever. It only supports one GPU, not two. Also, if your cards are perfect then you shouldn't take any thought in uploading a dxdiag.txt.

Don't quote me on this, but i don't think SLI is optimized AT ALL. I never recall Uber working on SLI performance and scaling. In fact, i think using a single card would be better right now. (again, i'm not sure of this, i might be mixing it with multi-monitor).

EDIT: I GOT MEGA NIJA'D now you can believe more than one person! lel

Definitely not on that last bit, read a bit up. I have terrible internet and I wouldn't be surprised if I wanted offline mode more than anyone else on the forums.

Yes. SLI/Crossfire DOES NOT HELP in a game that eats up your video memory with textures/whatnot. You really need a better graphics card with more memory (if clientside performance is your problem at your settings, esp at UBER settings).

Again without a reading from dxdiag and pictures from the ctrl+p (all four) performance menus in the game when performance is bad (along with taskmanager showing how much ram is being used) we can only give you limited help...

I don't like urud's manner of expressing himself, but the people replying to him do not understand the magnitude of the problem either (probably because they haven't tried playing in the last 48 hours). In the last 48 hours the game has been literally unplayable on both the stable and the PTE build. There's no way Uber would launch the game in this state. They'll either fix it in time, or push back the release.

I just tried playing three times today, the game is unplayable.

I played a 40 min GW match a few hours ago, the game speed seemed fair enough for 5 commander.

Maybe they fixed it in the last 3 hours or so, because before that me and 3 friends were having the worst problems we ever had. We had to exit and load the game half a dozen times merely to log into a lobby, and it only went downhill from there. Same with the PTE, if not worse.

Yes it does, no arguing about it... I just think it will be fixed soon... and they Uber gets information from server crashes automatically. The server performance was way better recently... It must be a stupid bug...

*shrugs* my internet has been barely able to even log in over the past few days.

The amount of game's I lost connection too.......I wonder if it adds up?

And there is like 20 games being run at once due to disconnects.

Well to be fair it depends on which server computer you're running on. Think about it, you could be on a computer running eight.. Small games, whilst other players could have the short end of the straw and end up being hosted by a computer already being pushed to it's limits by seven other servers.

Odd, PTE has normally been the better. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if uber fixed it real quick, they've been doing multiple builds every day. (No doubt trying to fix the servers)

What the heck is with this? Just tried again, love that 0.7/0.4 fps! The second image was over ten minutes later, yet less than three minutes passed in the game. So when my game hasn't stopped completely, it is in super slow mo! Tested with both mods enabled/disabled with no difference.





My client fps was at 60 FPS:





I was at around 7.8 GB of ram usage for PA.

Specs:

NVidia 670GTX (version 340.52 drivers)
Intel i5-3570k @ 4.0 Ghz
16 GB DDR3 @ 2133 Mhz
Intel SSD
ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4
Windows 7/Arch Linux (Same perf on both, but Linux crashes with Bad Access from Coherent)

Your computers seems to be in good order, the server however was being force choked by Dath Vader.

Must be their lack of faith...

Disturbing isn't it?

nlaush,

When I get into the office tomorrow I'll crack open the replays files and see if I can tell what's going on. It could be one of a few things.

In the mean time try playing on one of the preset systems. Start with a simple two planet system and see if it slows to a crawl like that.

I just tried playing another match today on the same system that I disconnected from, and the servers seem to be much better today. I was able to finish a game through a planet smash despite some stuttering and minor server lag.

Looks like something got fixed today, or not many players were online.

P.S. I launched through the PA Mod Manager's Safe Mode function instead of the Uber Launcher, if that made a difference.

Depending on time of the day, and where you live, it varies significantly.

Well finally you guys replied here Jk i know you guys are busy at PAX, but this is happening to everyone and release is in less than 3 days.

Just played another game. Had a rough time earslier but was flawless this time. Problem may be resolved or the fact I was playing on a prebuilt system may have helped.

Although the AI was totally broken, didn't try to invade me at all and even when I landed on it's planet it didn't try to repulse me at all, despite having a big blob of units in it's base.
