Is it me, or are the Company of Heroes 2 Menu laggy like hell?
Getting down to 15 fps in the search menu, and that just not good enough when it should be atleast 60!
Relic, please do something to this!

Hello ladies!
Is it me, or are the Company of Heroes 2 Menu laggy like hell?
Getting down to 15 fps in the search menu, and that just not good enough when it should be atleast 60!

I have made this obervation too. It is due to the background clips which only run at a max of like 30 fps which caps all menues to that.
After I realised this, I renamed the videos which play in the background (or delete them) which unlocks the refresh rate. You can find the video files under
/steam/steamApps/common/company of heroes 2/coh2/movies
The vlc-player can open the files (.webm) so you can go through them and see if it is one that you need to rename/delete.
I'm currently looking for a way to just replace these files with a picture/screenshot but I haven't made any progress.
If you remove/rename the files the background will be black but the menues are a lot more responsive and should refresh at the maximum possible frame rate.
Let me know if this helps and if you need any more help

The entire menu is horrid and over done.
simple is better.
As a graphic and UX designer I have to admit that you're some kind of right.
Many things are well hidden while others are available with a single click but not needed at all.
I always ask myself: Why is there a slider for the menu opacity?
If you want to watch the background videos you can simply enter the folder where they are located.

My pleasure. If anyone knows how to save something like an image in the format that coh2 uses for the background videos, please let me know. Maybe we can create a little mod with some nice fan-art backgrounds or screenshots.

Cap the video at 60fps and get rid if the HUGE box that shows update information in it, it makes the menu laggy and run even slower, instead put updates as an expandable or transparent text box kind of like the chat system.

I don't give a shit about the menus, Relic should fix the game performance and i would be happy. Garden the menu!
