Spring RTS Engine

So, mine game lags like hell when there are about 500 units. 200 moving tanks decreases mine FPS to 10-14. I have Pentium D 820 (2x 2.8 ghz), GeForce 7600 GS and 1GB Ram. I was asking people, and they told me to turn off "Threaded Optimization" option in driver. And there is first problem, i have Polish version, but there aren't any options about cores and Processor. (i have newest version) I tried to CPU Affnity, but it started to run worse. From 10-14 to 4-6 fps. It's happening on all mods. Any ideas?

Update your nvidia drivers to the latest english ones : http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/1 ... h_whql.exe

Then, in the nvidia control panel :

In the program settings tab, add spring.exe and finaly, disable the threaded optimization.


Threaded optimization causes a huge fps dropdown when enabled but I don't thing it is your trouble. Spring is CPU hungry and your Prescott CPU is a bad one (sorry). Moving 200 units needs a lot of CPU causing a bottleneck for graphic computing.

Try to lower some spring settings to improve if it's your last chance.

I downloaded latest English version, but it don't wanna to change language... maybe i need to uninstall polish driver?

Help yourself, changing drivers is not so difficult.

I have english!! Yay!!

But there's another problem.
I don't have that option. What do i need to change to have it? (i have Advanced CP ofc.)

Just read me...

And please, don't mess the global params, restore default. Only use specific program settings.

I used Program settings, added Spring.exe and there aren't that option too..

Same version here and it's available. Maybe your gfx card doesn't have this setting, that would explain the non availability in driver settings.

Only solution is to lower your settings or buy a new comp.

this solution is for 8xxx series it has nothing to do with that, i guess your cpu just sucks ... it's like a c2c 1.8Ghz ? and 7600 GS are not really powerful

Intel P4 are crap, they are half powerful as Intel Core at the same frequency.

He just can't run an heavy game...

yeah it's more like a c2c 1.4Ghz

ah, it's a pity... but i'm thinking about Core 2 Duo E7200, do it will be good for spring?

Core2duo is good for everything
