Performance Issues

from Sins Forums

I've recently gotten Entrenchment and am wondering whether it's more demanding that the originial sins. On the orignial sins I got a very fluctuating FPS sometimes 90, but ended up dropping to 20 or less in intense situations. This was with everything, except for anit-aliasing maxed out. I reduced the settings to high, but it seems now things are worse.(at least on Entrenchment) My specs are 2.13 dual core, 4 gb RAM, vista, 8800 GTS. Why is this changing so drastically?

In the Entrenchment beta, the computers used to lay mines around each of their gravity wells until they had thousands of mines per gravity well, and it slowed peoples' games down to a crawl.

In your case, even though there is a limit of 150 mines you can place per gravity well, they are still units that aren't present in the original game. So there's probably just more units that the CPU has to account for which is why your game might be slower.

Recommanded for the vanilla Sins is 2.2 ghz dual... now think about Entrenchment like a huge mod... more speed is needed for use it...
