Title: very low fps with all to minimum, 1024x768 and all options off
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker no
Details: 3/4 fps DirectX11 everywhere - 15++ish while in Directx9 forced by command argument to sota.exe shortcut

-force-d3d9-ref

helps but not so much, fps are super low. Is this normal? while /debug under directx11 i see a lot of Shaders Errors incompatibility messages, in Dicrext9 no error. Sistem is super clean and optimized.
Thanks in advance

Me and marco (the OP) tried for days to sort out why even after a total clearance of OS and everything his fps was stable to 3/4. barely more than 5. Intel integrated was properly off.
We tried this command together and came up with this by unity command engine

-force-d3d9-ref

Probably more than force directx9 wil lforce some software rend version by devkit but let many players with very low specs to play the game better (very weird behaviour) but most important with many features software rendered so allowed to em. His 540m working better in this way compared to standard direct11 or any orther command line argument which should be looked i think.
Farewel all

 

OMG I thought there were no more commands for DX9!!! i will try tonight!

 

On paper that gives the reference graphic with some software based rendering.

Could you install HWMonitor and report back the temperatures of CPU and GPU while the FPS is 3-4?
Thanks!
