So i decided to buy UAW for a cheap price at steam (universe at war that is) just because i wanted to play through the single pülayer missions, so far it's all working in order and the game is nice, the only issue that really bugs me is the performance, when there's more going on on the screen the performance sinks rapidly and starts to lag and slow down....i've heard that it's a common issue with the game but i haven't seen any fix by googling and looking for a patch that might fix it. i mean it should run fluid and fast and yet it doesn't, has anyone a tip or a solution for this problem? if there is any one that played it before...

Did you patch it btw?

They did to my recall make it run worse with patches stability wise atleast, anyhow the particular game engine lagged far worse on xbox360 than PC...

really? i wonder what it is, the effects are good but nothing that would make my PC lag, TW has about the same quality and it runs fluid, the steam version is patched from the start right? ~ i gotta take a look into that...sad, i like the game but i don't like setting the pop cap for skirmishes any lower than 60....let alone living through a lagfest in single player Sad

Alamo engine is poorly optimized thus even C&C3/TW runs better. Not sure on Steam version, check the version number, chance it is patched indeed and thanks to sega and microsoft, last patch brought issues as well and no fix patch ever to come thanks to sega/microsoft.

IIRC I actually found patch #3 increasing performance a lot when I still played it (close to the release.. 4+ years ago). It did introduce some bugs though, making it less stable and breaking some campaign missions, so for the singleplayer missions I'd recommend using patch #2 despite it having lower performance in my experience. With the latest patch I don't really remember my FPS dropping below 60 ever.

allright, i applied the latest patch.....and it's far worse now, the game either won't start at all, or if it does it either starts even to lag in the menu OR it seems to run fine, when i start a game i couldn't get over 1 minute and it slows down as ztype giving me suddenly without reason 4 fps....with this, the game seems to be broken as ztype to me...

Maybe you could try patch #2 then.

meh maybe...but at the moment i'm a bit frustrated, i hd to reinstall the game entirely...reinstalling via steam is something i won't do in this state for a few days....but if so maybe then i'll try patch 2...kind of sad, i really wanted to enjoy the game
