turn off auto record

Trim fleet tree to basic as possible

reducing resolution size may help, not always
same with high res model settings, depends on your gpu

sins only uses a single core so may want to learn what apps to put on what core.

Basic maintenance ...keep a clean machine: defrag, close backround programs.....

If you are willling to use a mod (for SP play), reducing the number of SC per squadron and possibly reducing the number of cargo ships per trade port/refinery may also help...that of course does affect gameplay and would require other concurrent changes for maintaining balance, but I figured I'd at least mention it....

Does it really only use one core? Is there a reason for this as I thought even the lowest end gaming pc's at least use 2

I prefer to stay away from mods for now.

All basic/advanced maintenance is done regularly as well as disabling every non-needed program when gaming 

So pretty much only thing I can do is a new comp?

It's not your PC, it is the game...the engine used by Sins is single-threaded...understand that engine was released with the original sins in 2008, and propably was in development for 3 or so years before then...so we are looking at a 7 year old engine, and 7 years ago there just was no reason to make such a game multi-threaded...

Having a processor with decent processing per core is simply a must to run a game like this at it's best...

Sorry What I meant was given that the lowest end gaming PC's use dual core then wouldn't any game be build for that but if it's been 7 odd years in making than I suppose so, Is there any plans to make a patch that utilises further cores? (no idea if that's even possible )

Ok so besides getting a higher clockspeed per core on next CPU and probably a higher cache too, Would putting it on a SSD help at all? and would there be any sort of RAM limit for this game?

Nope, the devs have flatly refused. It would be easier and cheaper to make a Sins 2.

Not sure about SSD though as part of the game's issues is that it loads EVERYTHING! all at once but it is limited to 2 gigs due to 32 bit architecture.


And no, no plans of change and don't even start with LAA.

Not much I can do then except upgrading the CPU, any news of there actually being a sins 2 or new expansion and whether this will use more cores/ram?

Reply #9 from Sins Forums Top

There's also this option, though he needs to update it since it doesn't work well with the game's 1.04 update.
