So the game is starting to lag more and more. Textures are failing to load quickly, faces and armor are failing to appear.

Really evident during Baptism of Fire. I get the feeling some of the important cut-scenes didn't load, because I got a bunch of dialogue during a loading screen and then was suddenly in a climactic fight. e: looking at youtube, some of the cutscenes didn't even play. Also had a moment when everyone was standing around doing nothing. Loading also took ages (will be updgrading to an SSD soon, which I assume will help with that).

Only running a 960 with 8GB RAM so I think I'm doing OK at medium, but are there any tricks and tips anyone has picked up to make things run a bit smoother? Cheers

I have an ssd and didnt see a huge improvement but it did help and maybe in your case itll help more. Apparently it doesnt use much ram but you can force it to and 8gb should be plenty.

"Right-Click on Kingdom Come: Deliverance in your Steam Library and find ‘Set Launch Options‘. Copy/paste the heapsize command for the amount of RAM.

4GB: “-heapsize 524288”
8GB: “-heapsize 1048576”
12GB: “-heapsize 1572864”
16GB: “-heapsize 2097152”
24GB: “-heapsize 3145728”
32GB: “-heapsize 4194304”
64GB: “-heapsize 8388608”

Theres a way to do it in the config file too.

Heapsize commands has no effect in CryEngine.

I seem to remember there being something you could do to make the game rely more on the GPU than the CPU, but I can't remember what it was.

Also, the game defaults to borderless, so switching to fullscreen can net you some extra frames.

Dropped 100+ Red Deer Venison outside a shack with two a couple and a dog in the woods as I already had 80 some and had to get rid of that and go back for it.
Arrived back to find the dog laying where I had stashed the meet nearby in a bush, looking very satisfied.

The sense of atmosphere, world and the way the mechanics plays into it have me captivated in a way that I don't think I've had since probably Morrowind/FFXI/Everquest for some reason. Maybe it's just been that long since there was an RPG with the sort of harsh and trying environment and feel, with proper rpg mechanics at that.

Oh forgot the other day I found I actually gained some FPS by moving LOD/vegetation draw up. Who knows though I could be nuts, I changed those and got ~5fps. I'm running a 4670k(3.4/ sometimes run it at 4.2), 1080, 16gb ddr3. Just finally ordered an SSD this was the last of many straws though.

For most of history a knight was just an armored fighting man, it wasn't until much later it became an honorary title that distinguished you as not a peer, but at least not a filthy commoner. Even then I don't believe it came with land though. Also, all the people calling you a knight are peasants, they don't know any better anyway

The word you are looking for is "men-at-arms", which was the term used to describe mounted and armoured fighting men. Knights/Ritter were landed gentry. Below them you would have lesser landed gentry, like squires and Edler. Below that came commoners who owned their lands (e.g. yeomen). And under that you had free tenant peasants who did not own land at all but worked on rented land. And under that you got serfs, who were still not slaves per se, but were not free to leave the land that they worked on. They were bond to the land so that when parcels of land were bought and sold the serfs also changed masters. And serfdom were inherited: children of serfs were also serfs.

The rule of thumb is that knights most often fought as men-at-arms, but most men-at-arms were not knights; for most of the high- and late middle ages, most who fought as men-at-arms came from lesser landed gentry and landed commoners.

Don't dump stuff on the ground to pick up later, the games deletes loose items incredibly fast. Dropped some swag to fight a couple of bandits (overencumbered to the point of walking), and when I was done a couple of minutes later, swag was gone.

I've been copy pastaing stuff from this thread into a random text file. Someone mentioned this at some point:

quote:

Create user.cfg in your main folder. Add r_BatchType 1 into user.cfg.

edit: I noticed someone said this didnt work for them, it needs to be

r_BatchType = 1

It dramatically improved and almost completely eliminated the game hitching up for me in towns/castles.

For some loving reason cryengine defaults to using your CPU utilization so doing this switches to prioritizing GPU.

Thanks for all the help so far, everyone

So I replayed the mission on low, which totally sorted framerate issues. Can tinker around with settings to my liking. (my main concern is AA, which I love and need, if anyone has any tips. Can't see an option in advanced graphics)

Main problem then was for some reason the climactic cut scene in the church triggering during loading? Has happened twice now. I can see the subtitles on my dark loading screen, but just goes direct to the fight. I assume this is a weird bug, or maybe something to do with my HD?

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:

Trying to, yes, but the game seems to automatically choose the next swing if you press the attack button quickly enough. I see the direction arrow flash for the next attack in the combo, I try to move the mouse in that direction and press attack when my weapon clangs from the strike. I have only purchased short sword combo perks, and am using a short sword and shield.

In the training event you get a long sword, and it's supposed to be upper swing, upper right, then a lower swing. If I wait until the clang, the game has me do an uppercut for the second swing, instead of down from the upper right. So I'll attack from straight up to start the combo, but then another attack press makes me swing from below.

When are you supposed to press the attack button the second and third time? When the game flashes the next direction arrow (before the strike), exactly when the weapon connects (when it clangs), or after that? Because I have tried all three and it doesn't matter whether I change the attack direction or let the game do it: my second strike is never both 1) from the correct direction and 2) at the correct time to be a combo. My stats still say I have only done 1 combo, despite completing the training event a few dozen times.

I don't think you have to do a specific combo for it to work. I was just choosing random directions and it was working. I guess it's easier to do on a controller/console because the direction stuff just stays on screen.

Stash any stolen items in an owned chest. Punch a guard in that town. Surrender. Choose to spend a week or so in jail. Instantly have 20 rep in the town regardless of what it was before.

True, I guess I got the impression that he was supposed to be one of those noble shits who isn't actually good at anything, not someone who actually excelled at training. Like I thought he was supposed to be a "failing upwards son". Medieval GW Bush.

So apparently using a shield with a longsword neuters it. No combos, perhaps no feints. I was using a shield for ages and enemies were parrying and dodging like crazy then got rid of it and now I'm crushing through guys in seconds

Also got a yew longbow for getting my Welsh poo poo on. Thing CRUSHES enemies if you get headshots. People were talking about having trouble in Nest of Vipers with sending up in fights with more than a couple guys... I had 9 guys chase me at once and mowed them all down with headshots
