Low Frames on a Top-End Laptop

So...I just recently logged back into Planet Calypso, i used to be a big time player. Back when i used to play it was before they upgraded to the new graphics engine, I never had any issues playing back then. I could run the game on the highest settings and play it fine.


Now i got a new lap top....below is the specs

GPU: 4GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 675MX
CPU: Intel® 3rd Generation CoreTM i7-3840QM Processor
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz System Memory
HARD DRIVE: 128GB mSATA SSD + 750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive


I can play any game there is (except for Metro2033...that game is scripted horribly) on the highest settings with a steady 60 FPS. Point being is i know its not my system, it wouldnt make sense if it was.

Has anyone else had any issues with this game running on low FPS? I have tried turning down the settings to low, but i still only get around 10-15 frames...

Anyone have any suggestions?

10-15 is low but don't be surprised whith SLI GTX 770 i get in the 60 while in everithing else included crysis 3 i get 128 is not youre PC specs fault EU is badly made that all. It make me sad too becose i love good looking games.

take off anty liasing OFF and take OFF Vsync in EU is useless any way

I will give this a shot, i appreciate your response!

I tried turning off AA and V-Sync but i still have horrible frames...


Anyone else have an idea?

I looked in the system requirments and i clearly meet them, but i noticed that windows 8 is not supported. I wonder if that is the issue? I am currently running off of windows 8.

EU just like any other MMO is really a graphic hungry beast. 4GB ram doesnt mean much on your vid card, unfortunately, as you're probably not running multiple monitors with that thing, so lets look at the 675 MX card.

Your 675 MX, according to PassMark GPU benchmarks, comes in at 2506 on the PassMark score. Thats roughly 1000 more points than a 5770, which runs EU at anywhere from 8-50 FPS depending on crowd density and optimization of the area. Amethera will run very low. So will Camp Icarus. Most areas on Eudoria will run nicely, though.

Conversely your card is about 1700 points lower than a 7870, which will run EU anywhere from again, 15 FPS up to over 100, depending on crowd density and optimization. Camp Icarus is hard on any card. Icarus just has too much going on. Amethera is the same way, mostly due to optimizations.

Both of these cards are testing this at Very High settings, with max controls. AA is max. Vsync is irrelevant because its really looking at your monitors refresh rate, and slowing your card down anyway.

Basically what I can draw from this is if you are getting around 15 FPS at Icarus and Amethera your card is performing as expected and so is EU. You should notice improvements as you venture out into Eudoria.

Is EU made badly? I dont really think so. I get high frame rates in lots of areas, and there are definitely modern games out there that my FPS seems stuck at 30 on. Developers have acknowledged in past threads a desire to optimize certain areas though, and they have been slowly doing so. Since EU is a long term game I wouldnt be too concerned.

Make sure you are using a 64 bit operating system like Windows 7. 32 bit operating systems don't see the RAM above about 3 gigs.

From what I have read EU doesn't support SLI graphics cards. It only sees one card and doesn't use the second one to process or use for memory.

try updating the drivers also.

Updating to newest can cause problems too so if you have the newest try older driver versions for the graphics card.

Magyar gives good advice. I think it was he that directed me to my problem. Your specs look like you might even have a laptop like mine (Alien MX17).

In my case, the issue is directly related to heat on the GPU. the slow frame rates relate directly to heat levels on the GPU. It's likely it is stepping down performance to cool off.

It's a pain. Maybe someday, I'll look into a replacement GPU.

Your CPU has an intregrated GPU (Intel HD 4000). The GTX 675MX should kick in as soon as 3D clocks go up. My best bet is that EU, for whatever reason, is trying to run using the integrated GPU rather than the nVidia one.


Try this:
- Right click on the EU shortcut.
- Run with graphics processor
- Select "High-performance NVIDIA processor" (or something similar)


If that doesn't work
- Go to your nVidia control panel and select the "High performance" mode for the EU executable under "3D configuration".


If that doesn't work:
- Go to your BIOS
- Advanced chipset option
- Disable onboard vga (iGP or whatever they call it on yours)


If that doesn't work:
- You will have to get rid of nVidia Optimus. Unfortunately it's integrated in your windows installation that came with the laptop (probably), so you will need to do a fresh install of windows.


I doubt very much it has something to do with your hardware, looks like a software problem to me.

Ah yea, forgot that cooling problem. using extra fans can help in that case. Or buy a laptop extra fan.

i think is made badly... for example i dont fall in to maps in any games but EU, my feet usualy when i run in games touch the ground don't go in to the ground like in EU, in Nea place from far i load rocks in funny way like they are particles this dosent hapens in any auther game i play.

Now you can - rep me for beeng negatif as you like to do but those are facts (btw i play 8 games ATM) so this is not comment from sommeone that just play EU.

For the memory youre coment is corect 4gb is for higher rez on 3 way monitors. But to day 2 GB is standard for any game.

I will make fraps to check if i get FPS changes in the game depending places but i drop from 130 ish to 60 in EU so if is not badly made something is wrong...

this with the rocks is only a fade in or out of the rock model! not only cry engine does this. Maybe you should play more games to see, that also other games, or game engine use that. lets that say from a game dev Each game engine have divers methods, how they increase the FPS. one of this is fade in fade out of environment models like rocks and plants and such.

All of Amethera is poorly optimized. Kim stated something to that effect a long time ago and said he would like to redo the entire continent. I forget where the thread is and tbh I cant bother looking for it. If you're curious you can look, though.

That's why I mentioned Amethera as one of the caveats in my explanation.

As for other games, yeah.... um... we're talking about EU here. There are circumstances that are unique to EU, like that it is the only MMORPG to use the CryEngine currently released to the market, for instance. It also uses the most advanced character creation to date, something most games stay away from due to the need to render each unique item individually, bogging down performance.

Given the unique set of variables (im sure theres more than just that) I think comparing EU to other games is like saying "Hey, I can grow Palm trees in Florida. Why Cant I grow them in Alaska? They're both states!"

well at least you half reconised is mayby litle badly made.

now ofc you compare games what are you suposed to do compare games whith cars ? wtf

when you read reviews on EU (i mean rewiews from journalist MMO web site) alot times you get the words 'outdates' outdated game play' is becose they compare to something else is kind normal.

we can bring real life examples as it seems they speack to you.

is like you own ferary then one day you are broke and buy lexus well the lexus may feel doll so if you do play games ( i hope for youre sake taht at least you understend EU advertise on gamers web sites) and gamers tend to play games not plant trees on Alaska... so if you play something of to day then you log in EU ofc it will be bad becose is bad compared to auther games.

How about the fact that when you put youre back on tree the camera angle show you the Inside of youre self let me take picture:

that is definetly well programed.

there are many thinks that dev's did good and many times i told they did but many thinks are wrong in EU and one is using engine they don't seem to master (just my feeling) so if i think that i will say it am not kind of MA kiss ass never been never will !!!

EU is probably one of the worst coded MMO's in action. When you see ground coming on top of say a street texture, you can be sure that the graphics will be about as bad as that engine could put out. Collisions in this game are also lacking, like when exiting a pilot seat...I can end up sometimes in the basement, and sometimes on top of the ship.


The engine is only as good as the code that uses it.

Whoever deals with the graphic models or textures or even the hidden mesh that all surfaces need, is not in my opinion not very good. The engine itself really hides the worst of it, and improves on the original non optimized models.

Its a shame, if they had a competent graphics team this game should be looking amazing on any setting, with the ability to process it all correctly. But that is todays tech, which is very hard for outdated systems to keep up with. And graphics is really limited by the coding team in reality. They would need to rewrite alot of things to get the full power of the engine.

EU has a nice network, but very subpar graphics/coding. It may actually look ok on some machines but everyone will bog down at some point in this game.

AS far as avatar creation, this is borrowed tech. and far from what is now possible.

........This is on a mobile chip, as you can see when they zoom out.

I would love to see amethera that detailed. It just isn't possible with the code at hand.

and for non mobile extreme facial realization
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oqxH7ut8hU



EU is falling behind, and will be outdated very soon with the new mobile chips able to handle even better graphics, without issue....on a phone/tablet. The key to these kinds of advancements though, is that the code is flawless, otherwise it just doesn't work as intended. I have suspicions that the code at MA is mostly patchwork over the years by a number of people trying to figure it out. I don't think they rewrote anything with the cryengine change, except what was absolutely necessary, and they had some MAJOR issues getting whatever code was needed to work.

My thoughts anyhow, really a shame such a top end computer struggles still, sorry to hear it.

only suggestion I have is to shut all of the sound off, I notice improved performance.

Cryengine 2 and Cryengine 3 are graphics engines. They are not games. Also, for the record, Cryengine 3 is fundamentally Cryengine 2, just with console support.

CryEngine 2 was first licensed out to French company IMAGTP who specializes in architectural and urban-planning communication. The purpose of licensing the engine was to create a program to allow clients to see exactly what a building or other structure would look like before any actual building was undertaken.

The above paragraph shows that, like EU, Cryengine is a platform. You can develop a game on it, but each game will have its own code base. You cant just go around saying "Well, Cryengine I have never seen bugs there." 1) You wont see bugs on just the Cryengine ever, unless youre developing games. 2) Im sure the developers of any Cryengine based product would laugh their asses off at the absurdity of this statement. Cryengine is probably full of annoying bugs.

In short: Your posts are very demanding, and show a complete ignorance of game development. Furthermore they show an unwillingness to learn. Your criticisms lack credibility.

when you quot and answer something at least read it.

to forgo did not quot you TL

but EU is not one of the worst there is much worst but usualy from independant teams taht can't buy engine at all EU is ok it just play outdated (like you running spead it feels you are in slow motion, let not talk not able to sprint in 2013) + lots and lots visual bugs make it anoying.

for example they make 'new' avatar system so you go like OH YEAH but then you log in and see this:

Search on the forum (Xing + devs + BRAVO) and read nad then comme back say i bash/complaint/threat (lately they screwed my looks + 3000 peds shit looking clothes + werry buggy game seence the avatar update) and ofc am inspected to say that EU is great ? I will say is great again if i feel is great but now is not.

PS. is funny somme ppl say my English is good knowing i did not learn in school, but i will not like you to heurt you precious eyes by reading my poor English better for you health just block me.

Lately they screwed your looks. It's a friggin bug, Xing. It was accidentally introduced in a patch. It will be purposefully removed in another patch.

If it isnt fixed yet (I have no idea, I dont use long coats and dont play a female avatar) take the damn coat off. Put it back on when they say its fixed. Its not rocket science. Yeah, its inconvenient. And yeah, for them its probably a little embarrassing. But bugs happen. In every computer program. Sometimes you do something and something completely unanticipated occurs, and you dont catch it in time. Then you have to fix it. Big deal.

Everyone gets there are problems. I get that too. I have not once denied that certain things that are bugs are in fact problems. I also have not denied that certain other things could be improved, sometimes vastly. What I dont do though is dwell on them and attempt to ruin the fun of the game for others because I am annoyed personally at certain aspects.

You do. You come on this forum and take every opportunity you can to say "EU sucks" and try to convince others to leave. And you justify it by saying you are not an 'MA kiss ass.' You act like people should be publicly flogged, repeatedly, because they dont jump and go "OH GOD WE MUST FIX TEH MATSTER COATZ RIGHT NAU XING NU IS TEH ANGREH!"

Cut it out. It's old. Handle your business. File your support complaints regarding issues that bug you. But mygod, all this bitching does is drive people away from the product. Think about it. If you were supportive of new player experiences, and said "Oh, yeah this is good, this is good, and this is good... but for now maybe you shouldnt try this cause you'll get a not-so-funny result, and maybe this could be improved but I'm sure theyre working on it" you might actually be able to help attract new players with reasonable expectations, instead of driving players away with drama over problems that are absolutely going to be fixed.

One of the things we should to do help new players is help expose the people who are trying to wreck this game so they can tell when good advice is being given, as opposed to simple game bashing.

I look back on posts that negative nancies made when I started in 2010 and as a newbie it was very difficult for me to separate the hate and conspiracy posts from the real deal, mostly because of the support the negative posts receive from the forum community, as well as the fact that many of the complainers are long term members with some trust the community invests in them.

I really feel for the new players coming onto the product. Remembering how it was for me, I feel it is in everyones interest who is looking for the product to continue to grow to actively discourage excessive negativity on these boards by calling it out as such, since it is not actively moderated against.

Negativity has its place. Repeating ones self ad nauseum with the same negativity does not, however, result in productive representation of the game, nor productive relationships with development staff.

Lets not stray away from the point here ladies...if y'all want to have a measuring contest, whip them out somewhere else.

I tried the step 1 of this reply, and sure enough...my frames went through the roof. So Angel, i thank you very much for your insight.

I do not think its my hardware, cooling issue, GPU, or any of the issues anyone has announced. My laptop is a MSI GT70...it has a cooling bay built into the whole system. I just bought this machine 8 months ago. Ok, so i may not have the best GPU out there, but the specs on this card is good enough to run anything out there on its higher settings. I do have a 64 bit OS, so i know my laptop is not restricted of its full potential. I actually do use 2 monitors, with 2 separate desktops. I can usually run Skyrim with 50-60 mods on one screen and EVE online on the other with NO drops in FPS.


This game is simply scripted horribly, and has memory loss in every little crevice. Its not me saying this is a terrible game, i just think they need to hire game editors that know what they are doing.

But now that I got it working due to a software related issue, i can get on the grind once more. Thank you everyone for your help, it was highly appreciated.
