Quite. It was an incredibly odd choice as an ‘upgrade’ path given how old 11 is.

Okidokes: here’s my start screen and dxdiag.

I noticed you said you are playing IL-2 also. That also runs on DX11. For giggles, I tried it on the UHD at lowest settings and 1080. It ran like crap. You might be able to play, but its a chore. And it immediately brought the GPU usage to 90-100% in flight. So they'll have to do some optimizing ...

I’ll grab some screenshots and logs.

That’s interesting. As before, I really appreciate the input.

But that’s pretty much exactly what I see in my GPU readout. Pinned from the second you open the application. I suspect that your extra performance is probably from being a non-small-form-factor machine, better power availability, less ...

Very odd.

First, my 770 doesn’t have that name in Task Manager. Second there’s some weird formatting with the DirectX version in your screenshot which mind also doesn’t show. Lastly when I switch from a 2060 to Intel, C:MO actually displays the Intel device name on the top bar of the UI, whereas ...

Don't know much about Intel GPUs except that I never use them. As the specs on Steam list recommended a 1030 or greater, I checked GPU benchmark of the 770 against the 1030.

The 1030 has twice the ...

There is definitely something broken in your system when it comes to CMO. I took this pic of my Task Manager with a large scenario running at 15x and you can see the max usage of the GPU is 30%, but seems to sit around 20% or so. See if you can grab a similar pic from the Performance tab in Task ...

Might be worth checking Windows Defender is not blocking folder access. I had that as a problem just can't remember which problem it was.


I'll be sure to have a look. Nothing explicitly reporting, but I'll see what I can do.


I got no warnings with mine an update switched something on and ...

That looks an awful lot like you're saying if I use the 32 bit version I'll get the same performance as a $2000 video card running the 64 bit version.

I mean that's not a proper 4090, but it's still not comparing apples to apples is it?

Ok. An update. I've done some more testing.

It's almost certainly an issue with the new map renderer, and possibly how the map tiles are stored, fetched, or cached.
None of the game preferences make any difference to the performace, only map layers, zoom level, and coodinates.

I've reinstalled ...

I have a 3080 on a laptop and experiencing no issues on 64-bit version. I also a a 3050 that runs it without issue. On the 3050 laptop, GPU usage is 11% with Sentinel 2. So there is something going on with your system.


While I appreciate you taking the time to reply, suggesting that one one of ...

Yeah, frustrating, but it’s out of my hands.

It’s possible it’ll be optimised in the future as the actual graphics performance is still very poor. I tried it on a system with a GTX 1080Ti and an RTX 2060, and both of those are also being rather saturated for what they’re actually doing.

I will ...

Ok, so the 32 bit version ran perfectly for about 15 minutes, then crashed with an out of memory exception (this appears to be a bug people mention is fixed in v1.06 from what I've read).

1.5GB RAM and 20% GPU usage. It also only used a handful of the 24 threads available - but I suspect this is to ...

Found it, thank you. That's perfect.

I'll give it a whirl today and see how it goes.

Hi Dimitris, thanks for this.
To answer your questions:


Let's go through the usual suspects:
* Is the OS fully updated? Graphics drivers updated? Direct-X 11 installed?

All fully updated, restarted etc. Latest version of DX is installed.

* Is Command running as admin? (ie. prompting you "are ...

Hi Folks, I hope that you can advise.

I've just picked up C:MO on Steam and I've been enjoying the platform as best I can. However, it's not been a particularly smooth experience so far. There seems to be an excessive GPU load (even when idle on the Start Menu), meaning scenarios with even 18AU ...
