Stutter 1-2 hours into a game

May 28, 2012 5:56:30 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

The title says it all. I get some made stuttering/fps drops when I get that far into a game of Rebellion. I don't quite understand why, as i believe my hardware should be sufficient to handle it. Regardless here is a list

 

CPU: Q6600 - OC'd to 3.0 GHz
GPU: GTX 560 Ti
Mobo: Nforce 780i
RAM: 4 Gbyte DDR2
HD: Western Digital Velociraptor - 600 Gbyte Storage - 10k RPM
OS: Windows 7 64 bite

 

Changing graphic setting does nothing to improve it. I feel a bit ripped off on this purchase to be honest, but do let me know if theres something obviously wrong with my setup or if there is something I can do to improve this problem.

I'm getting the same thing but only while playing online (ICO) with friends. 

 

For reference... 

i7-2600k @ 4.3ghz 

8gigs 1866 DDR3

GTX 570 

Intel & Corsair SSD's 

 

Any ideas on the lag? I'm not sure that it's CPU related, at least on the ICO end. Now if I play lan games it runs great, even on SB based pentiums.

Maybe more RAM. I've found that OC'ing my CPU actually slows things down, so that might be part of it too.

I am having a similar issue. Don't think i ever experienced this with the original game. Currently i am in playing on a large map where 3 AI players and myself have the largest fleet possible. But the game has become unplayable due to a 8 sec freeze of the game every 20 seconds or so. The game is very intense since all AI's are fighting me, so there are usually 1 or 2 big battles going on on my screen at a time. It's most a pitty since this is the most intense game I played in a long while but at this point it's unplayable. It seems like there is a bottleneck somewhere which is odd since I have a fairly up-to-date PC.

 

Intel i7 860 @ 2.8GHz

8Gb RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

 

I am quite sure the RAM isn't the bottleneck since the game doesn't use more than 1 Gb.

Quoting Strieko,

The bottleneck is the 32-bit @ gig limit plus the use of only one CPU core (or an even split of the cores to equal just one core 50/50 33/33/33 25/25/25/25 etc).

It's mostly CPU, not RAM that is the issue now.
