The game starts to get laggy after some gaming time.

Okay this situation is getting strange, i start the game, and after more or less about 3-4 hours of playing, the game starts to lag, even if I don't built superbig bases or subs, it's nerve wrecking, is somebody working on this?

    Okay it's an ASUS laptop

    with an i7 processor with 2.4 GHz for each core.

    16 GB RAM

    And the GPU should be a 750M Nvida Geforce with i think 1 GB of dedicated RAM.

    You laptop should in theory be able to run the game just fine, mine is above recommended settings but it can get slow sometimes.

    Some clarification, lag is when your internet connection is slow and you stutter in online gameplay. What you are suffering could be your laptop having a bit of a hard time loading and rendering things which is sorta understandable.

    Check the cache integrity of the game on Steam to make sure nothing is corrupted.

    Additionally follow these steps:

    1. Download, Install and Run CCleaner.. (Left you the link there)
    2. Run a full scan with your antivirus.
    3. Free up some Hard-drive space.

    You could also be suffering from overheating, most laptops aren't very good at keeping themselves cold and when a laptop is too hot it runs slower. So you need to be somewhere at or below room temperature. (around 70°F or 21 Cº) And its never too soon or too late for a maintenance check with a trustworthy computer savvy person but please don't ask a friend, go to a well known computer store and ask for their laptop maintenance services. It will cost you but its a 99% guarentuee of a decent job and you won't have to handle the awkward situation of a friend owing you a brand new laptop.

    Its an ASUS laptop (state-of-the-art manufacturer). That's not how Ghz work plus its a high-end CPU, it has way above the normal RAM in most setups and its graphics card is around mid-end so it should run the game just fine. On a side note, laptops can't be upgraded beyond adding new or more RAM, upgrading or replacing the hard-drive and in some cases tinkering with the battery. The rest is sealed and manufactured that way, you will void the warranty and end up with a useless busted laptop.

    Please I don't mean to be rude and I understand you wanted to help but if you truly don't know enough about something then its best to keep from commenting to avoid people getting erroneous information about their issues.

    Not really. A 3Ghz Dual Core CPU is often not more powerful than a 2Ghz Quad Core CPU.

    It all depends on the architecture of said CPU and what it was built for.

    Ah... Do it again and also update check for updates for your graphics card.
  • AlphaBlueArxAlphaBlueArx Join Date: 2015-05-11 Member: 204402Members
    oh it appears its because of a recent update other players had the same problems too.

    However there is still the problem when i get into my base the framerate starts moving slower and slower...however i think i nailed the problem.

    When i started a new base everything went smoothly, then i started taking away resources from the lockers into my old base and for each resource i took away it got smoother and smoother...

    Like the more stuff i put in the slowest the game gets

    How do you think it should be fixed?

    Seems to be less related to game time but more to 'time played on game save' as it wont stop lagging right now. And Im sure it didnt lag this bad on a clean save.

    That's another thing that i kind of noted it doesn't lag very much after you save.

    I still hope they'll fix this.
