Windows Reducing PC load.

Is there any way to reduce lag on highly populated servers and servers with complex mods (Like TC).
For example: turning down particles, turning off some animations and such...

 

Hi, you may want to read this thread: https://forum.thd.vg/threads/how-to-get-the-best-performance-in-kag.26500/
If you had issues appearing after a while in TC, IIRC a workaround is set up now. If you have poor performance in general there isn't necessarily much you can do.

 

Well, official servers run quite well untill the player amount goes to 32+
And in TC lag usually starts after most factions built their automatic processing lines.

PC specs:

• CPU: Intel quad core q6600 (2.4 per core)
• GPU: GeForce GT 9800 (128 bit, 512 memory)
• RAM: 4 Gigs

Also my CPU temperature never goes above 25`C, because I'm a cooler maniac (felt like throwing in this one).

 

Your CPU is quite old, so its single-core performance will generally be much worse than recent intel CPUs.
KAG is only able to do most of its processing on one thread, so it is not surprising your CPU doesn't heat much.

 

KAG needs a better multi-core CPU processing method than.

 

It can't really be done for a lot of tasks. Rendering is one of the worst CPU offenders clientside, and it's something we don't have a full control over. Parallel render code is not even worth trying when using OpenGL.
Threading is complicated, you'll generally want to create a game engine with parallelism in mind before creating it, so you can run tasks on different threads relatively independently (which KAG probably won't ever have).
What we can do (and are doing) is optimizing what's worth optimizing. It won't magically run perfectly but it's getting there.

 

Well, good luck on the optimisation than. :)
