Tips for Improved Performance on a17 Experimental

[mr.natural]

So I have a potato that ran alpha 16 fine graphically. With alpha 17 everything looks blobby. Does anyone have any suggestions?

disable texture streaming

use

gfx pp enable 0

to disable post processing on the command-line in-game

I have an

i7 3.5GHz processor

32GB RAM

NVIDIA GTX 1080

and I'm getting around 35-45fps while standing still in the middle of an open field. During horde nights, I change my settings to the lowest possible settings across the board, and I range between 3fps to 25 fps. If pathfinding is the reason why the framerate drops that drastically for an $800 video card, then there's wildly extreme problems with the way the pathfinding is written. It would have to be on the level of trying to run the entirety of Crysis with each zombie.

That's exactly why my i73930k is overclocked from 3.2/3.8GHz to 4.2/4.8GHz. OC'ing that and my RAM made a huge difference in FPS. The game doesn't care about your GPU. This is covered in the Sticky FAQ.

The FAQ you wrote is great. The only nitpick I have is that it doesn't actually mention that the game doesn't care about your GPU. Just a mention that it requires a minimum amount of RAM on your graphics card. Still, it's good to know that the game is this poorly optimized so I know to not expect much in the way of graphical quality.

*work in pc amd apu 10 fps more alpha 17.4 (windows 7 ultimate 64x)

*NOT WORK on PC intel gpu 550 and 650 (win 10 64x pro) It just goes crazy, changes the resolution approximately 3 times (while charging), resets the default graphic settings according to my requirements. And the fps are lower, I disable it but it still works I will have to reinstall XD

(maybe the problem is windows 10 it's known that it sucks)

thanks to share :-D
