This is something I've been noticing recently while watching replays. I have--
Athlon64 3500+
6800 GT (256 mb)
1024 DDR400 ram
and so I get about 60 frames a second (watching the statgraph chart) during peace and around 40-50 during fights.
The thing is, I find it difficult to look at my base. When my Settlement / Orky Fort is in view, my framerate drops invariably to 30. After chopping it down to 30, it is a very stable 30, so I'm guessing that this is coded into the game? It makes going quickyl between the frontline and home very very annoying.
And I can look at Desecrated/non desecrated Strongholds, Webway Assemblies, all that jazz. Just not at a Settlement. It's really weird.
I've tried a myriad of graphics settings, so I've come to the belief that it is not my hardware.
EDIT-- okay I guess I didn't try THAT many combinations of settings. These have been my findings:
-When Shadows are on High, Fallen City plays with an FPS max of 30. I don't see any other map-based FPS caps.
-When Shadows are on High, Ork bases get capped to 30 at some time during the game.
-This does not only happen to Ork bases, as I have found 1 replay of a Chaos Desecrated Stronghold that gets brought down to 30. It seems to have to do either with time or the tech level of the base.
-While negligible, Flamers (at least on Dreadnaughts) DO do some damage. (managed to pick this one up during a replay I was watching to test findings)
edit-
BIGGEST CONCLUSION: Game runs FASTER at 1280x1024 with fullres_teamcolour=1 compared to 1024x768 with Shadows at High!
Righto, no more questions from me. I'll leave this here though, in case anyone was wondering.
