Game starts constantly lagging after some time independetly on new or old colony

19 votes

Hi there, this just started today. On speed 2 and 3 there is lag and it doesn't matter if I am on a saved game or start a new one. I tried multiple times through out the day. I tried restarting my laptop multiple time and deleting all of my saved game but it still happens. It also doesn't matter if I zoom in or all the way out. I have been playing a few days and this is the first time this has happened for me.
Any suggestions?

Can you please share more details? What is your laptop specs, can you check FPS in-game, CPU\GPU utilization and CPU temperature? Laptops can easily overheat and throttle (decrease performance) or enter different performance setting.

I have a similar issue. I was on day 13. Saved. shut down. Next day I load my save and its running super slow on fast forward. It was successfully running smoothly with no click lag on fast forward. Started a new game and its still doing it. Runs fine on normal speed.

It was running fine for the past week of playtime in multiple sessions. Then suddenly today its unplayable on fast forward. Talking like 5 FPS and 5 second click lag.

I've tried running a brand new game after a fresh install. Still seems to do it. Had no problem last week. So I'm not sure whats going on.

I have experienced the same issue, running fine on the first game ever started (Folktains, Plains) ... never lag even with +300 bevers build. Have tried to start new games, but experiencing major lag on fast forward... no matter the map even direct in beginging of game.

Having the same issue. I find it gets extremely laggy during the day in game on speed 2 or 3 and then fine at night. Started happening around 400 beavers on Day 22.

I just noticed this too. I even put my game on the lowest graphics settings and it still lags like crazy. Down to maybe 1 fps for upwards of tens of seconds.

An, game is more CPU-heavy now because of all the pathfinding. Devs will try to optimize it better, probably there are bugs which decrease performance in specific cases, but for now can only recommend to check your CPU does not run any heavy background tasks and does not overheat.

Same issue
Playing on a MSI GL75, should be strong enough but always lags on speed 3 during daytime regardless of how low the graphic settings are.

When you get a population beyond 600 or so, the game is so laggy on speed 2 or 3 it ends up being slower than playing on 1 (which is still laggy). My FPS drops to 2/4 when speeding up and it really never gets higher than 45-50 a lot when the population gets that high. I've played with all the graphics settings and even at lowest, it doesn't seem to matter. I saw several YouTube videos showing the same issues which they also related to population. There are no lag spikes or FPS drops at night when Beavers are sleeping. The second they wake up, the game looks like it's literally about to crash it's chugging so hard. It runs extremely well on the highest graphics settings up until that point.

I have the same issue. You are correct it has nothing to do with graphics. The devs should optimize the game to have the CPU less heavy as it easily overheats. No other builder game does this. They have known this since October but nothing is happening.
This is a MAJOR negative for me. It is the BASICS of every game to ensure it runs smooth when you have all requirements (way above).
It is like riding a bike but the wheels are crooked.....
Otherwise it is a great game with a lot of potential. Well done.

I also experience this issue, and its a major drawback for me.

I had the same problem and it turned out that an AMD graphic driver was the cause. hopefully you are able to update your video drivers and fix yours as well.
