EM4noob Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have a good computer, and the standard edition of EM4 runs fluidly - 60 fps on low settings. It also does a good 30 - 45 fps on LA and Manhattan modifications (when lights are off). However, in these modifications and all of the other ones that I come across and currently have, whenever I turn on the ELS or lights for any vehicle, it causes extreme lag and drops my frames to 2 - 15 fps (depending on how many vehicles have their lights on), so I am forced to play without ELS which isn't as fun to say the truth. I have tried many things like adjusting the resolution to the one that my monitor has, decreased the settings to the lowest point, installed game speed softwares and more, but I still have huge lag whenever I turn on the lights in mods. I'd appreciate if I could get some suggestions or reasons why I have this lag, or ways to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM4noob Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't lag when I select units.DxDiag.txtlogfile.txtMy game looks equivalent or almost equivalent frame-wise to gameplay videos online (with lights off), but they seem to do fine with ELS.Posts merged.

aleovic5 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I know it's been some time since a post has been made...but has there been any luck on decreasing the lag? From what I've read, it seems like AMD graphics are a culprit for causing this. (I myself am having the same issue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
