Everyone Needs To See This: How To Drastially Improve Frame Rates

[Vesayen]

I got this from a BHG dev on rise of nation heaven.

The first time you start up RoN after a reboot/turn your comp on, close it.

Then start up RoN again and play like normal....... your FPS will be MUCH better for as long as you play-I went from 2-3 two minute plus lockups(fps of 0 or 1) per 10 minutes, to 1 "lockup" per hour(which lasted 1-3 seconds).

Apparently the first time you launch RoN per reboot it judges your system specs..... or something-I dont know, I just know it works, and works so well I was able to put my settings from low to high, without any FPS degredation!

sounds strange... I wonder if people familiar with windows know anything about this... I'm skepticle.

I have noticed similar things with my system. It gives me a small FPS boost.

Is that sarcasm about something I dont know about windows? All I know is that it was unplayable on the lowest settings,, now im getting 40-50 FPS constantly with the highest settings!

I think Sava just wants more details, like an explanation of why it works.

Hya.

Yes! I was doing this at home and it always worked, but I thought it was only on my computer (because, you know, it's alive and it hates me!!!).

When I saw this thread I really really laughed! Now I know that my computer isn't the only living (or unliving) one!

See ya.

seems to improve my game speed as well, thanks for the tip

[FrustratedPoet]

Weird .... but at least something works to improve people's framerates.

/me imagines the next RoN patch is a batch file

Open(RoN)
Close(RoN)
Open(RoN)

[Nacht]

That means just opening it without starting a game just the main menu?

Exactly... no offense intended Vesayen, but I'm terribly cynical and skepticle about things I hear on an online gaming site.

I think there is something about this in the bug report threads.

[HalfLotus]

It's in the readme file as well.

[Sava]

Anyone care to post it? I'm too lazy.

Please quote the section you are talking about. Mine says nothing about closing the game and then reopening it.
