@KIELBASA SILONSKA: The PC that I used for development and testing had an i5-2500K and a GTX 770, and it always ran the map at a solid 30+ fps. Your current CPU and GPU perform even better in benchmarks, so it's unlikely that they're the issue.

If you want more help identifying the source of the problem, follow these steps:
1. Disable all other addons (you said you've tried this already, but please make sure you've really disabled everything, no matter how small or inconsequential it seems)
2. Restart the game
3. Run the map again in singleplayer mode
4. Open the console with Shift+Esc and enter the following command to display a performance graph: +showbudget
5. Close the console, take a screenshot of the graph and post it in the map's discussion forum

@KIELBASA SILONSKA, Dawgo, ILC & moober65: This map was developed and tested on hardware that's over 10 years old at this point. Nowadays, even low-end hardware should be able to achieve playable frame rates here. If that's not the case for you, you're probably using one or more other addons that have not been optimized for a map of this size. Use this tool to measure which addons have the largest performance impact, then disable them and restart the game. Other players have reported major improvements after doing this. You'll likely see improvements in other maps as well.

@Regnars882648: The roads are essentially a giant model-based decal/overlay. I created it by importing the terrain displacements into 3ds Max and creating a cut-out of the geometry with the appropriate shapes and texturing.

getting a new pc this summer and i hope to run this map
KIELBASA SILONSKA May 8 @ 11:47pm 
would a ryzen 5 7600 and rtx 3060 ti run this with more than 10 fps?
Dawgo May 8 @ 3:50pm 
wish there was a lite version of this because it is basically impossible to play even for my decent pc but it looks so detailed and cool, can tell the devs put hard work into it.
