In game lag ?

from Sins Forums

Im have the trinity expansion fully updated and have lag problems. My rig is a q6600 @3.0ghz,GTX260,4 gigs ram am getting alot of lag and in battles against even a single computer player i haven't even got halfway up the fleet cap research before the lag begins.Its so bad that i cant micromanage the battle only zoom out as far as it will go and end up losing the battle because of it.Ive got all the settings to graphics set to medium and am playing at 1920 x 1200 also have latest nvidea drivers for my gpu.

 

Any ideas ?

Its the game, not the rig.

Turn off cargo ship icons, minimize the fleet tree and I have heard that large screen sizes also contribute.

There is TSOP (The Sins Optimization Project) which fixes memory leaks, reduces poly counts on models with no quality loss and to many other thing to mention here but it helps a lot. It keeps the game as is.

The TSOP ad-ons also help. 

Strike Craft reduction cuts the amount but increases the damage. Cargo Ship Reduction cuts the amount in half and doubles the load and a Pirate fix because raiding pirates returning to base will eventually have almost a thousand ships there. And a mine reduction is coming.

Doesn't a strikecraft reduction affect the utility of abilities like Flak Burst and Telekinetic Push?

somewhat, but not enough to be a huge issue, In DS we have both strikecraft amount reduction with increase in HP/damage to make up for it plus a massive increase in hull research (TEC gets a whoppoing 120%) but Flak Burst and Telekinetic Push still do a lot of damage

of course having the flak being much more damaging helps as well

Thats why TSOP is keeping them optional add-ons. We are open to suggestions.

Understood.

 

I will note that I tried out the strikecraft addon and it did seem to reduce lag above and beyond the cargo ship reduction. Have yet to test on a large map with cruel AIs.
