A Laptop Noble requests assistance!

Greetings!

After a hectic semestre in university, I finally have some spare time to play my favourite game again. Last time I played competitively was in April, and the game was running smooth as ice on 3v3 games, even with incendiary barrages, rocket artillery and burning wrecks from doomed vehicles. Now after updating my drivers and the game itself, I get the message saying that my game might be lagging behind because of too high settings. This is false, as I have the exact same settings as I used back then.

I tried to run the game in 8 bit colors (through the properties of the launch file found in the steam apps) to see if it had any effect but, in-game I noticed it was not using this.

Is there anything I should know about this setting?
... and is there anything else I can do to make the game running better?

PS: I know about the replay recording issues, and I have promptly disabled it before playing.

I played COH2 on laptop as well. Usually I played on Medium setting eventhough COH2 options also said that my setting is too high and might deter performance. I realize that I havent updated my NVIDIA driver for about 1 month and after last update, NVIDIA program said that I could run in high settings, so I tried that. The game of course still warns me that I run on higher setting than what y graphic card could handle. but it now runs pretty smooth on both 1v1 and 4v4 alike, slow fps only when battlefield clusterfcks happens.

So back to the original question, does your game actually lags? as in theres fps decrease as well?

(Feels like replying coz nobody visits the Hardware and Tech sub forums anymore

Afaik the main thing to do in a low bandwidth situation is to lower the resolution. Also make sure you're not running AA above low setting.

I know, doesn't really answer the question of why it used to run better....

Thanks for your input, I know many people complain about this issue, even with brand new supercomputers.

My game runs just about flawless the first 8-10 minutes depending on battlefield conditions. After that, my game tends to start lagging behind the other players. The game eventually catches up with the others with even intervals, but this generally just happens after I have lost enough units to lose regardless of my skills. This is strange because I should have sufficient RAM. My FPS never goes below 14 and trends around 20 (which is bad but not horrible). It starts the game off with 40-50 fps with a steady decrease to the aforementioned values.

Guess I'll start playing 1v1's exclusively allthough 2v2's are most fun imo

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.
