Maystor Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Is anyone else's game running very jerky and stuttery at high/very high settings despite the fact that the PC is powerful enough to run it smoothly? My specs are i2500K @ 4.5GHz, HD6850, 4GB RAM, SSD etc. Fresh Windows 8.1 install with latest drivers and everything. The game itself rates "this PC's 3D graphics capability" at 5 stars and yet it plays awful at anything more than "medium" settings. At high/very high as long as you can only see the pitch the game runs at constant 60fps and feels smooth. However as soon as the stadium comes into view it drops to 50fps BUT feels like 15fps for some reason. VERY stuttery. Anyone else experiencing this? It was the same in the beta, I thought it was a bug or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Casa De Munson Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's about 20fps for me. Dire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
absent Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It performs at a constant 60 FPS for me, but must be really bloody intensive because it puts a huge load on the GPU and pushes it to very high temps. i7 2700K/GTX 660 Ti. Actually need to turn down the graphical settings in a FM game just so the fan isn't blaring unbearably loud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrycaine Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I wonder if it's an issue with Windows 8.1, as I have the same issue with my brand new laptop, only it isn't resolved by changing the settings. My new laptop has 2.5 stars for 3D capability and my old laptop has 1.5 stars and works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maystor Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hmm, now that you mention it, the fan on my card gets really loud at high settings as well. Seems like the load on the GPU is very high. Still doesn't explain why does the game running at ~50fps feels like it's running at 15fps at most. It's like either it's 60fps and perfectly smooth, or anything under 60fps and very laggy, basically unplayable. It's annoying because the graphics at higher settings are pretty nice whereas even medium settings look cartoonish in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Running poorly for me too in 3D.. i7 960 3.20GHz Bloomfield Quad Core 12GB 1600MHz Triple Channel HIS ATI Radeon 6870 1GB (latest drivers) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazbowski Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Having a mare myself, 5 stars for graphics and I have to turn everything off and run on low to get a decent performance. Thought it was just my pc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ 01/02 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This is weird as i have a 1 star graphics rating but am on medium graphics and everything runs very smoothly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrycaine Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 My old laptop has 1.5 star graphics rating and the match engine works fine on default settings. My new laptop has a 2.5 star graphics rating and the ME is awfully Jittery/lags no matter what settings I change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Running at the highest settings and it never flinches from 60fps, I have it locked to 60 through my GPU settings, never seen the need to have higher, in the 3D match it never moves from the 60 on my laptop.

Indi75 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Mine runs well, but the game gives me 3 stars despite a system that should show 5 stars. Seems the game benchmarks me on the HD4600 Integrated Graphics, yet clearly runs on the NVidia GT740QM seamlessly. Bit disconcerting when it suddenly dropped from 5 stars in beta to 3 stars in full game, but at least it's running well. Something worth everyone considering is Power Options. My laptop is lethargic as hell on battery. Does everything happily bar FM. For FM, it really does need AC power and even then a tweak of the power settings as HP recommended for example has a lot of power saving going on even on AC power.

lewylang Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 FM>Preferences>Interface Settings Then you change rendering to 'software' instead of the setting i had it on which was 'GPU Assisted' and also unticked kinetic scrolling under rendering mode also in more interface settings. Let me know how yous get on with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how yous get on with that? Does nothing for me. Wouldn't software rendering only refer to interface rendering though? Either way, my game runs either perfectly smooth at 60fps, or absolutely awful at anything under 60fps. Even 55fps lags terribly. I found turning off crowd and seats gives me 60fps at high settings but it's not a solution really. I'm going to open a thread in the bugs forum. Most games feel smooth even at 30fps, let alone 55.

Svenc Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I reported this to SI already. The issue is that on high/very high details there is a comparably taxing amount of filters and shader effects enabled compared to what is technically on display -- my card that is still fine on better looking games comes to its knees too. However on medium or below everything looks totally flat, as every option that SI access under the hood is set to low values, such as the textures which make the pitches and every surface look iffy. There's no middle-ground. The game needs truly advanced graphic options, however for the time being you can fiddle around with them manually. The files are located in the directory you see in the title bar of this window: Lots of options, none of them accessible from within the game. It is advisable to make a copy of the file you edit, just in case. And if you have trouble you can start out by editing the "medium.xml" file, which adjusts the settings for "medium" details, unsurprisingly. Already upping the "texture resolution" entry to mirror the setting of the "high.xml" file (which puts it at value "4") makes for a dramatic improvement without impacting performance or stress placed upon your video card truly any.

Maystor Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Very interesting, I didn't know it was possible to tweak each settings profile. Thanks for that Svenc. I'm going to play with settings and see what happens. You have to restart the game in order for new values to take effect, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfa120374 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 It's actually pretty strange seeing people struggle with the 3D and having 5 stars while having what seems to be better systems that what I do. I have... i7-2700K 3.5GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost with 8Gig MEM 8Gig DDR 3 MEM WIN 7 64-bit I am playing the Demo and I have a 3 star rating but I have absolutely no problems in running everything full.

Tested this out by overwriting the contents of the medium file with the contents of the very high. I changed the string value to 1 yet it doesn't appear to be using very high graphics when I select medium... any idea why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
