natemikegray Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This might be just because I'm using a laptop, but my game is laggy as all get out even with the resolution down to a minimum. The laptop I am using is the HP Notebook 15-r030wm. Comes with a 2.16Ghz Quad Core Intel Pentium processor, 4Gb RAM, and a 500Gb HDD. I should be able to run this game just fine, but for some reason it doesn't. Not saying that its just the game, but when I can play a 3D large scale game like Elder Scrolls Morrowind (has lag, but that's expected) it should be able to play this game with at least a higher resolution than what I am playing it at, or less laggy of gameplay. I really love this game, even though its an alpha, but I would really like to be able to play it.

mr_anderson Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have a similar problem but its not lagging, im having low fps problems, im not sure what is the cause of it. Most of the time my CPU isnt going over 50-60% and im always keeping an eye on my RAM usage, to make sure it doesnt crash due to resource leek. Im getting about 9-15 fps. heres my stats: graphics: GTX 750 TI cpu: intel i5-4670 (quad core @ 3.8ghz) RAM: 8gb DDR3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/76633-laggy-as-hell/#findComment-889230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game have fluid simulations which means this game is more complex than a game from over 10 years ago. So it makes sense you are lagging. If that is not clear enough, the min requirements are a desktop Intel HD 4600 and from what benchmarks I can find, it can be around 500% stronger than what you have. Even then I consider the HD 4600 to be a crap low end graphics chip. 17 minutes ago, mr_anderson said: I have a similar problem but its not lagging, im having low fps problems, im not sure what is the cause of it.

Also look at the CPU usage per core not overall, if one core is peeking that will affect everything.

mp0011 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have quad core @ 2.8, and game runs just fine, with no problems at 1080. However, enabling some overlays feels laggy. 8GB RAM, HD 6850 1GB. BTW - earlier game version has memory problems (takes MUCH more ram than current version), so on laptop, with slow HDD for pagefile, it can be the issue...

natemikegray Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 With Morrowind I expected to have a slight lag in the graphics because it is as old as it is and the fact that I'm running it on a laptop. I can try to run more advanced games that require a little bit more out of my laptop than this one does to see if its the game or its my laptop. If its my laptop then I'm screwed because Id have to spend almost $500 at least to get one that will work for what I want to use it for.

Airget Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Morrowind and Oxygen are two completely different games in terms of logic. With a game like ONI, you can't based it on the graphics=lag, the lag involved in ONI are the amount of processes going on within the game. Basically ordering, building, units moving to the beat of their own drum, they are all rapid response processes going on throughout the game to simular. You should compare ONI to games like Planet Coaster, Sim City and the likes because the more complex the simulation becomes, the more CPU power you need for the game to keep up with what's going on.

natemikegray Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have officially decided that it has to be the game. I didn't try another game, but I tried something. I turned the resolution all the way up. Now, if it was my computer, it should have bogged it down to almost unplayable fps, but that wasn't the case. It did the same thing it did with the lowest resolution. Have small moments of completely fine running, and then the fps drops like a rock for no reason at random times.

I don't think its fair to blame the game or your laptop, the point is the game doesn't run well on your laptop now and there is no assurance if it ever will. Now you'll have to decide what course of action you will take. You can ask for a steam refund and not play this game and maybe try again in the future (not assured if it will ever run well). Or will you think about getting a new laptop/computer. And btw a $500 laptop isn't going to cut it in this current state. You will be spending around > $1000 < $2000 for the safe zone. A $500 desktop if you don't count the keyboard/mouse/monitor/speakers/routers and go for old outdated parts and possibly second hand you can get a pretty decent machine for gaming. If you like these kinds of games you can go try factorio, the requirements listed are about half of ONI. http://store.steampowered.com/app/427520/ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/76633-laggy-as-hell/#findComment-890080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
