I was able to download this game yesterday since i pre ordered it ages ago and i firstly like to say thankyou to the dev team for making a game like this since there are so many cr+p strategy games on the market now. and EA destroying the old good ones left and right for the sake of money I like to say i really like the game a lot so far very much it reminds me so much of TA while at the same time a bit of supreme commander. I know this game is in beta with lots of issues which i see alot of ect but can i have confirmation from the devs that performance of this game seriously needs a addressing? i had to turn down the settings to the lowest to get a half decent frame rate at the start of the game and even that did not last. which i have not had to do for a long time considering i'm running a gtx 760. also i got a issue with clicking buildings since i have to highlight factory's to select them which is very odd since clicking on them don't work for me all the time. I'm mentioning this because this game can be fantastic for its units and game play style. But if it don't run properly or even remotely smoothly on high settings then it kinda defeats the point of this game? so like i said I KNOW its beta but i would like someone to confirm that performance is still a big thing on the agenda.
Welcome to the forums! Glad to have you in the community. Do a search before posting. This is a common topic. Performance is Uber's current focus. Each and every update results in lots of performance updates. Right now, pretty much everyone is playing with the graphics at the lowest settings. It's recommended that you play on small systems with low graphics settings. The game is in beta. Early beta when you compare it to games like Battlefield 4's beta. Or Halo Reach's beta. There are tons of performance updates to come. Don't worry.
Please check this topic: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/864980734977925162/ Most likely game will work much better without Steam (if you run it though Steam) and with "Threaded Optimization" option turned on.
