Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - How to BOOST FPS and Increase Performance on any PC

[@MRbeqa100]

Low FPS exists becouse of CPU/GPU usage is very low sometimes 13% i have a powerful PC capable of play any games at Ultra quality, this is developers issue not of PC

[@docholiday42069]

i got the same issue, other games run on very high for 75+ fps, but aoe3 runs at 10% usage

I have 80-90 FPS but so much lag spike, stuttering that it is unplayable (RX5700XT, Ryzen 5 3600 etc...)

There is no excuse for this. No one with a high end pc should have to lower any settings period. Mine runs great at the start then as the game progresses the frames drop to 70 and stay there.

[@MrMasterKaio]

I'm playing in 4K with a Radeon 580 RX and a low-tier CPU and finally managed to get to an almost solid 60 FPS. Here are the most important FPS killing settings I have found: SSAO, Folliage, Shader and Water. Here's what I put them to, which gave me 60 FPS instead of 10: Turn SSAO off, Leaf-Stuff to Medium or Minimum, Shader to Minimum, Antialiasing to FXAA Everything else can be on and turned to max settings. Resolution 4k and Vsync on. Hope this helps anyone, who might have a weak CPU and an alright graphics card like me.

[@bitzass]

This worked. Thanks.

[@docholiday42069]

Seems like i had this setup like this already except Antialliasing, which helped game performance a lot. thanks bro

MSI GE75 (RTX 2080 150W) sitting at a fairly stable 55fps at 4K all high settings. As most others have said, adjusting settings even all to low, barely makes any difference at all. The game needs a patch from the developer to fix this issue.

[@odynnidonger2803]

Imagine having a Nvidia Pascal 12GB and still have stutter.. Shit optimalization

[@devilsoffspring5519]

AOE3 DE mostly uses only 1 CPU core, so even with fast CPUs the game bottlenecks on that one core. It doesn't matter if you have a whopping powerful graphics card. It's especially noticeable during big battles.

"It is necessary to stop repeating other people's nonsense, thinking you have found a solution. Using and modifying the game's config file is useless because the options you disable in the game's menu are the same as those in the config file. The only thing the modified file does is make all attempts to configure settings in the game's options menu ineffective, that's all."

Hi I have a HD 7950 (3GB vram) and a 4K screen. Can you force a lower resolution scaling by setting lower value of the "super sampling" option in the config file?

[@msigamingz4184]

The definitive solution is don't buy this crap game: Age of Disaster. Quick Resume: AOE 3 Definitive Edition is worse than many early access indie games on steam. I will be listing first the "improvements" over the legacy AOE 3. +Updated graphics +Ranked matchmaking for treaty. and... that's it. Now let's start with the extensive list of bugs, design flaws and how Microsoft can ruin an old game that only cheaters made look bad. -How the system makes the teams in ranked matches is awful. I have seen the Top 20 players in the same team and 2 totally new players in the other with awful decks, basically you are condemned to 40 minutes of waiting to a painful 2-3 minutes defeat. To make the issue even worse, you can invite a partner before looking for a game, the bad part is when the TOP 10 players invite each other and are in the same team. No chance of winning or having fun. It is just NOOB-BASHING. The game should force Split players based on winning % and rank, and allow them to play 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 only with other premade teams of similar rank. Using legacy aoe 3 ranks as template, right now the game is letting 2 brigadiers noob bash 2 corporals. -Ranks on custom games are gone, you don't have a clue how good or bad your teammates or enemies are until you are 10 minutes in-game. (No one will say "I'm bad" or "I'm noob".) -You can't check other players deck before starting a game, making worse the point above. -In some maps you can build walls over the water/rivers. -The game is a bug fest. One team gets to make natives and upgrades while the other not. One team gets to make docks and go fishing/whales and the other team doesn't. Which is a HUGE game changer, especially for Portuguese civ. -There should be a healthy limit on fishing boats, unlimited fishing boats when only a team can make docks is just unintelligent. A civ shouldn’t surpass 80/99/120 population either with fishing boats or settlers. -Warships going on land due to bugs -Legacy AOE3 had a bug were settlers got stuck on mills/plantations. now the bugs are even worse. The Hero/Explorer gets stuck in native trade posts, ARMY get stuck INSIDE mills/plantations, army in general gets stuck in walls (there are gates in front of them and they just stand still), settlers get stuck in trade routes while making walls/trade posts etc. -Memory leaks all over the place. After each match RAM usage gets incremented by 2GB, until it starts to show heavy stutters until you end up in the "AOE3DE.EXE" is not responding screen. After the last patch, the game uses up to 8GB of ram itself after loading the map. -Out of sync errors, and teammates getting kicked out 15-20 minutes in-game, sometimes even after loading the map. -One "bug" that Microsoft never seem to care to fix is the infamous "cav box", that little overpowered horse box Sioux and Russia usually make, with the whole game being SLOW at creating units get ready to say gg if you have no spies and even with a lot of walls Sioux will destroy your base in less than a minute. And that’s it, we can say the game is pretty much a disaster.

But then it happnes that I can't see units behind buildings anymore. So I have to set shadows from none to low, then the units are shown again, and then I can set shadows back to none. Very strange.
