Hi.
I can play native on 60 fps, sometimes 30 when battle is big, but it works well. Settings medium-low.
I could play ACOK and AWOIAF 2 days ago, but now I have lack of FPS. It's around 10 xD. I don't know why.
I'm trying to play on ultra-low even on 640x480 but there is 10 fps always. Textures in first battle (in King's landing) loading like shit, 10-15 seconds before full load.
When I tried to change to DirectX 7, it was quite playable with 60 fps. But there was pale white textures and squares on background (clouds, mountains).
Is there any chance to change textures to this from native?
Also I did nothing to game, didn't changed any settings, any computer settings. Every game works normal like before. But not warband. Reinstalled game like 4 times, nothing.
And pls, change this fucking captcha, it takes 30 minutes (really) to register. You are scared of skynet or what?
THANKS FOR HELP GUYS, NICE MOD SUPPORT XDDDD
How is anyone supposed to know why a few days ago you could play it and now you can't??? And mods have way higher requirements then native. Get a better PC.
Oh, I thought that reading skill is compulsory in primary school, sorry man. Maybe in your country it isn't.
I don't want to get banned like this, so I will just write my exasperation of anger in spoiler, so only you can read it. Go on!
[spoiler]I don't know how many times I heard it. BUY NEW PC. It's future, you don't have money for it? NO PROBLEM, BUY NEW PC XD. You have lags in game that should work on your computer perfectly NOOB BUY NEW PC. This game worked you before? NOOB BUY NEW PC HOW SOMEONE HOW SUPPORT OF GAME CAN KNOW WHY ITS NOT WORKING YOU NOOB. READ IT AND SPELL IT BECAUSE I DON'T THING YOU GET THIS AT FIRST TIME.
Let me show you how support works. It's called DIAGNOSTIC, give me your pc configuration, give me this log, set this to on, maybe check your gpu temperatures etc.
And I am waiting to be supported like this. So I'm waiting 2 days. Nothing. AND HERE COME MY HERO, LAST POST RARILMAR. And I read it. And I got just more angry instead of support. Why the heck you writing things like this? For what?[/spoiler]
Okay I will write it's again. I CAN HANDLE THIS GAME BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT WORKING NOW. Please don't talk about new pc.
Cheers.
You are playing a free mod, which you paid nothing for, then you get angry because i, a lone developer of the free mod you are playing (did i mention you paid nothing for it) do not answer your question in less than 24 hours.
I barely have the time to work on this mod atm, let alone answer support questions in a timely manner. I mean even a AAA game which costs £40-50 you cannot expect a support answer within 24 hours and thats from people that are getting paid to do that. You know, they go to work and answer while at work, not after they have already worked 12 hours and in the little spare time they have.
Anyway, did you take a look at the post stickied at the top pf this thread? What is your pc specs? What version warband are you running? Are you windows or mac? Something has changed your end if before it was playable and now its not, thats something i cannot possibly know.
Also, i actually work as an engineer and you realise for me to carry out diagnotics for customers costs £36 ph + callout and travel. Thats the price you pay for quick support.
If you expect help from me or others on this forum then you need to be a bit more patient and polite. Which both cost nothing btw.
I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't know that you are alone without any support. I'm just getting angry when someone can only say "BUY NEW PC". Yea, it's my wish to buy new pc but I can't afford it now so I'm playing older games like Warband. It's better to don't talk if you don't have any idea about situation.
And I admire your job, mod is good, it's actually Warband engine that sucks so much. I'm just devastated of this game, it didn't happened to me never in any game. I paid for game that should work good, support of TaleWorlds did nothing to solve my problem.
I'm sorry.
So this is my computer:
Athlon X2 2.1 GHz
RAM 4 GB DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 4570 512 MB
SATA2 Disk 250 GB
Windows 10 64 Bit
I'm playing on version 1.168, because 1.172 have HD textures, and I don't want it.
And I have one funny thing that I remembered. It just started when I played mod and just clicked CTRL+Space to travel faster.
I tried everything in this pinned post, no reaction. It works better when playing on DX7, but only Native support this.
Thanks for your attention.
No worries.
I would suggest upgrading to 1.172. If you dont want updated native textures, then copy your current ones and paste them into the native, textures folder of 1.172. This means you keep the non hd textures. Though you may need to do this in the commonres too.
The mod unfortunately only supports dx9 because of the shaders, though i may in the future release a dx7 friendly version. It just depends how much work it is and how much time i have.
It maybe be basically problem of DX9. In other mods, that somehow support DX7 (with some artifacts, but overall is playable) i have min 30 fps in dense cities and fights at MAXIMUM settings. So, that's why I am thinking about DX9. On the other hand, other games that use DX9 works normally.
Upgraded to 1.172, but didn't help.
If I can change the HD textures to normal, it is possible to change mod textures to native? I think it would help a little.
All the old map trxtures are in the resource folders, so if you know how to modify them you can change them back to previous and run in directx7. I dont have the time atm to list them all though. Take a look on tw forums for the map textures and they should be all in the materials resource folder in the mod.
Oh I don't know anything about modding in Warband ;/
I will try to read something on tw forums.
Visum,
Buying a new pc is a solution, buy expensive, of course, but only upgrading your gpu for about 50$ will make your life better
Radeon HD 4570 vs GeForce GT 720
GPU brand ATI Nvidia
GPU name RV710 GK118
Clock speed 650 MHz 967 MHz
Shading units 80 384
Texture mapping units 8 16
Render output processors 4 8
Pixel rate 2.6 GPixel/s 7.74 GPixel/s
Texture rate 5.2 GTexel/s 15.47 GTexel/s
Floating-point performance 104 GFLOPS 742.7 GFLOPS
Memory clock speed 500 MHz 900 MHz
Effective memory clock speed 1,000 MHz 1,800 MHz
Memory bus 64 bit 64 bit
Memory 512 MB 2,048 MB
Memory type DDR2 DDR3
Memory bandwidth 8 GB/s 14.4 GB/s

The geforce 720 is not a great card, but is miles ahead of your old gpu and only 50$. For 70$ you have 730, much better or 80$ an AMD RX 550.

M&B has an old engine that doesn't make proper use of gpu power so upgrading it won't solve much. It's the CPU that does all the work and his cpu the Athlon x2 is 10+ years old.
So I'll be the evil guy again that states the obvious that he doesn't want to hear... he needs to get new PC or play other mods that work for him.
Yea, talk more when you actually know nothing.
CPU Usage is about 20% when playing warband, gpu is almost 100%.
4570 is laptop card, do you know that?
You said computer not laptop on your specs but w/e you are beyond any help and clearly too dumb to understand anything. God help you cuz none else can ;D
Learn something about IT, because even digital clock is fucking computer and if I will want to play on calculator I will call it computer.
There is no HD 4570 for desktop, I thought it's obvious, but again you destroy my worldview. I hope there is not much people like you.
If you think you are trying to help at any way, it's propably your biggest mistake.
Seriously, who the fuck are you? XD
Just leave please, I don't want to argue with you no more.
Like anyone remembers the HD4570 used to be a laptop only card... go ahead and keep calling your laptop a computer...
Hard to check in google before joining to discussion, but I didn't expect such advanced thought process from person like you.
Quotego ahead and keep calling your laptop a computer...
Here you are:

If I would say that my LAPTOP is DESKTOP I would agree with you.
I think it's enough for you. Now you can leave in peace and go do some funny things like hang laundry (not yourself of course).
Visum, first, a warning, you're asking for help on a free forums for a free mod, try to be kind otherwise I'll have to close the topic.
Second, in fact, there is a 4570 desktop card:
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2076/radeon-hd-4570
So, please, provide all the details that can be important for your help, when asking for it.
Being the mobility gpu it is, i'm pretty sure your only solution is to make as Produno said, because the mod is heavy and pushes your computer beyond its capabilities.
I don't have any problems with you, but with this useless discussion with this instigator.
I appreciate that you trying to help me. I know that buying new PC would be easiest way, but I cant afford this.
So I am asking for help in this forum. And I get guy who knows absolutely nothing, talks shit only to get me angry.
Yes, I am playing on laptop, I thought it was clear, sorry for misunderstanding. I am suprised that you found desktop version of my card.
I will try to reinstall windows maybe, idk what I can do more.
I instigated you? lol you were raging from 2nd post cuz none replied to a post where you basically gave no useful info about your problem and then you come back with bad info. You need pills to calm down boy. You're the kind of guy that calls tech support cuz PC not working, gets annoyed when the operator suggests such a trivial thing as 'check the power cable' realizes it actually is the problem, tells the operator he was useless cuz he can't admit the real problem and look like an idiot and sets a 1 star review to the call experience.
Yea, at first I was to nervous. I thought there is more people in this team that works on mod and give support. I was wrong, forgive me.
You compare checking power cable to useless "BUY NEW PC". Really? Really you think it's equal TO GIVE BASIC SUPPORT, ASK BASIC QUESTIONS and CHECK THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE APPLICANT and ONLY WHAT YOU NEED IS NEW PC?
Listen. If I would call to support and they give me guy like you, I would just report you. If they give me guy like your "operator" I would be grateful.
Man, think about what you writed. From your story, I can be somehow this "kind of guy", but you are not this operator. No no no. You are this bad guy from IT forums that every problem solve by buying new pc.
I could play this game on good settings, now I can't. So I need to buy new PC if you want to play this game more. Learn about drawing conclusions.
Btw you don't know nothing about me, so just leave.
And I ask again. Give me info that you need. I don't know really, any logs, any system info. If you want anything just ask.
Guys c'mon enough is enough. No need to carry on. If you wanna argue then feel free to take it to PM's.
On a second note, i would suggest looking on TW forums, there's quite a few threads regarding tweaks to make warband work better which should work for this mod too.
Failing that you may just have to wait and hope i have the time to release a low res dx7 version.
Okay so, I hope you will get some time to do it, I really want play this mod.
Until that, I will search for more help, and reinstall Windows. It may help.
Thanks for help.
Are u using the steam version? If yes, you can try using steamos, the game is supported in that os. It's linux, so your laptop will work better and there you can download the mod from workshop. Maybe will be worth a try
EDIT: I've just installed Linux Mint (ubuntu sources) and then installed steam on a virtualbox machine, to try steam on linux, that works too, mount and blade appears for downloading as linux working game. It's easier to install ubuntu or mint than steamos
Hey, I was having the same problem with awoiaf mod and after trying many and many different settings i found it a solution, not the best but it worked for me. I use an old laptop for playing and when i turn Directx9 on the mod become as lag as hell so the solution i've found it was to turn the directx7 on using the module.ini file inside your awoiaf module file. You just need to find "supports_directx_7 = 0" and turn it to 1 but doing it will cause the scenerio to become white and apparentey without textures, i don't know if there is a way to fix it but i think i'll have to wait for a possible directx7 compatibility in the future versions. Anyway, the mod is very good and i am enjoying it a lot (even without the cool textures), if I were you i would do the same. Hope it help you. Btw, i'm foreign so forgive me for any dumb error in my vocabulary.
