New Amnesia lagging extremely

**GreenNekoHaunt** · 09-11-2013, 05:43 PM

I'm having heavy lagging problems as in the framerate being low and the mouse hanging behind. I had no problems with the old Amnesia even on highest options.

It runs smoothly at first but once the splash screen shows up it starts lagging which gets more intense in the main menu and becomes unplayable when starting the game with black screen for several minutes (probably because it's taking too long to actually come to where you can see anything as it's lagging so heavily) in-game menu takes several seconds to show up and I have to click multiple times to select an option. The sound however runs smoothly without problems.

Using a Desktop PC
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Intel® Core™ i7-2770k CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPU)
8GB RAM
DirectX 11
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 with 4GB storage

The log is from a very old version of amnesia, a version that pretty much only exists as a download on sites like tpb.

So you tried to change settings in Launcher? Did you make low settings?

What sort of settings are you using? specifically the SSAO can be very demanding and slow. Could also be a conflict between settings in the control panel for the card and the game options, so could try and experiment a bit there.

I tried everything from using everything on high having huge lags.
and everything on low still having minimal lags.

This is the most extreme lagging mentioned so far. No doubt it is caused by some background program interfering or corrupted graphics card drivers. Most probably background programs. Close them all, disable antiviruses etc...

I closed every background program besides Steam and the lags are still there. I also noticed (by playing in window mode and leaving taskmanager next to it) that it actually does use a lot of CPU while being on screen. It doesn't use any CPU when running in the background.
