Its funny how a simple question about FPS brought on that dumb CPU war to the thread.
The game will lag as hell no matter which computer you have if you have installed mods. Hongfire patch and repacks around internet with mods causes the game to lag no matter if you have the Justice Hall or batcave computer.
Just go to the bepinEX folder, disable some mods and youll recover some FPS but youll lose features.
I have an AMD A10 5800K, 8GB of ram and a GTX 750TI, can run the game at 30FPS stable having 25 girls on school which is pretty dumb because if you are playing the game as is intended youll never had the time to interact with all of them in one day.
And Im running the game on Linux using Lutris and DXVK, which take some FPS because DX11 to Vulkan parsing. Pretty much tested on W7. W10 with I7 cpu and the story is the same.
The game is like that, worst with mods, so stop telling people to buy 16GB ram and expensive i7 processors to play this. Illusion is not known for its "awesome performance", their games are bad optimized since Artificial Girl, I dont even want to talk about Sexy Beach Premium.
In reality every game with mods always heavy that normal, well of course when gpu company optimize a no porn game isn't very notice, but when a gpu company don't optimize for that game you notice how bad the game optimize is. BepInEx 4.1.1 and bepis r11.1 fix that lag problem some long time a go... there some mod that help you create a your configuration for reduce the lag.
About RAM, the game use a lot RAM in school, that because the low poly characters run in the school take a lot memory.
the game was designed on up to 36 characters in the school , so more characters you have a more memory you need, so 8gb ram for 20 characters are fine, but if you plan use a mod that allow you add more that 36 characters in that case you need more memory, of course you need a good GPU the most important hardware for gaming.
And the more important part nobody again nobody here ever write "buy a new CPU or RAM".
I have 940mx with a i5-7200u and 16gb ram i get 22 fps at max with 40 characters, if i reduce 20 characters i will get 30 fps at max.
It can hardly be called a war. People are discussing options for improving productivity.
And game performance depends on the computer too.
The more powerful the computer, the greater the performance.
But much and the most basic lies in the game settings. Settings and instructions will help launch the game on any computer that meets the minimum requirements. The user is required to have a computer with the minimum requirements for the game. Accordingly, more powerful computers are only an additional plus, but not a requirement.
This game has a lot of features and is constantly changing. This requires the developer to constantly care about mod compatibility and bug fixes. In this environment, it is difficult to fully optimize the gameplay. This will be possible only after the completion of the development of the game and the release of the final version.
At the moment, the developer as well as the author of the repack are working on optimizing the game as much as possible.
If you take the repack, then it contains the optimal combination of mods for the current version. If you change something, then something will stop working. For example, the author of the repack knows about the problem with the “disappearance” of clothes and knows that you can add a fix that will fix it. But he also knows that this fix will disable some other useful features. Therefore, at the moment, you always have to choose between something. And disabling components is not for everyone will be the solution to the problem.
It is best to follow the instructions of the developer and personal settings through "F1"...
