Wierd performance issue- probs out of cities not in them

[Friday N 49]

Hi all, appreciate any help on this.

I seem to have the opposite problem to many (who lose fps massively in cities) – on medium settings (plus no vsync, aa etc) and on a decent server I get 35 – 50 fps in cities and towns but 15 – 22 in forests, or even looking at bushes. I know my notebook is not a gaming computer (see below) but is there anyway to improve this? Why would it be that I’m fine in cities but not forests?

FYI –

Intel® Core™ i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz

4GB RAM

Radeon ™ HD 6490M

64 bit

300+ GB left on my HD

Thanks in advance :hattip:

Look at the "Trees & Bushes", mine is set to ALL, I believe.

Also Shadow quality set to High.

Might seem daft but thats the way it works.

Try it.

Thanks man, appreciated. I'll try in a bit when I log on... will it basically be shifting work to the gpu through high settings?

Couldnt change in game... realised when I logged off it was because I'd f*cked with the .cfg , going to reset it tonight and try again
