Re: FPS Tweak

First of all, its sooooo great that someone is trying to find an solution to this issue. Absolutely great work!

Sadly this didnt work for me.

Running 6th gen intel with 6 cores and 12 threads. 2080ti and 64 gb ram on win11 (did an reinstall to win10 and same issue there)

Following theese steps didnt help the fps at all and i started to get major screen tear. Also made my game crash way more frequent then before (game just closes with no error message).

Getting as low as 2 fps and up to 600 ms on frametime in RvR even with settings to low (No shadows, No face morph, Classic waters etc) and spell effects none. Usually with a bg at 100+ its 6-15 fps and 100ms frametime.

CPU load is max 40% and GPU load is max 30%

Thanks for the tip tho! Worth the try.

Also i noticed the newest version of dgVoodo2 didn't change DirectX to 12. But installing a earlier version like 2.72 got the game into DirectX12. I got this by clicking "Prondr’s dgVoodoo + ReShade settings direct download" in the https://www.prondrknorr.com/daoc-video-tweaks/ link. After getting DX12 to work the graphic got a bit more shiny, but FPS issue still exists, a little bit worse to be honest.

So i changed from my pc to my laptop instead. 12th gen intel, 3070ti and 16gb ram. only 80 in BG atm but so far FPS is waaaay better. 25-50 fps so far. Also everything on full and on.

So CPU has a lot to say here! I have not tested dgVoodo2 yet on my laptop.

I've also heard someone being able to fix this with an openVPN. Dont know server details tho. So far ive tried English server and German server (because a little bird told me English works for most and eden server is in Germany). Nothing helps. Anyway it does not make any sense that an VPN would fix FPS issue. Ping and packet loss absolutely! But not low FPS... Most likely it all got lost in translation somewhere down the line.

Also I've tried DXCPL (The built in DirectX force'er in windows) and this does not work on daoc. i tried adding camelot.exe, gamel.dll and even patchui.dll into DXCPL and the game refuses to start in DirectX12. But even if it would work i know that when using dgVoodoo2 (witch does work forcing it into dx12) it does not help with fps. if anything it makes it worse. I've even tried all of the DirectX versions.

I'm starting to believe the game needs a full revamp with new mapping on how files in the game work (Full re coding of the game so it stop using single thread and start using multiple threads/cores from the processor) in order to fix the fps issue... Realistically this will never happen. EA games will not budget their Devs to do this on a dying game. Hopefully CSE will finish Camelot Unchained soon :)

Re: FPS Tweak

Found this random video on YT.

It wont fix your FPS issue, but it might fix the random LD's while raiding.

Also figured out turning characters over to classic skins helped alot. and turning on old terrains helped almost as much. Old trees and old water prolly help aswell.
