100% Gpu utilization

[SteelPact]

I have had CMO for a few years, and up till recently(maybe 1 or 2years ago) it runs extremely smooth, minimum 60 fps even in largish scenarios. I don’t know when, but now when I open up the game onto the empty world, it’s incredibly laggy, 5-10 fps, with no units or anything just the map. I’ve tried removing layers, optimizing gpa, changing settings, 4K fix, CMO benchmarking. However my cpu stays around 30-60 while my gpu is always at 100. I have tried different moniter with different resolutions, same thing.

Specs:Intel Xeon W3550
Quadro k2000 2gb
24 go ddr3 ram
SSD of some kind
Windows 10 pro
Current display 3440x1440
Tested 1080p, QHD

Yes ik it’s a potato, but it used to work perfectly, I loved cmo because it could run well, beside I can run other games that are way more graphic intensive, eg warthunder valorent Destiny2 better than CMO.


Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hi,

That sounds strange indeed.

* Which version/build of Command are you running?
* Is the OS fully updated? Graphics drivers updated? Direct-X 11 installed?
* Is Command running as admin? (ie. prompting you "are you sure you want to run this program" when you launch it)
* (Steam only) Are Steam overlays disabled for Command?
* (Steam only) Is Direct-Write disabled on the Steam client?
* Are all other applications (and especially hardware-helper apps like RivaTuner, Nahimic, MSI Afterburner etc.) shut down?
* Are you using a high-DPI desktop? (ie. font size >100%)
* Are you using Norton antivirus? (This POS is very frequently silently blocking file updates)
* Can we see your DxDiag file?

Also: If you are currently on B1328.xx, we have some feedback that the current public beta has improved GPU performance for some players. So if possible can you give it a try and let us know.

Hi, thanks so much for the quick reply

To answer your questions directly

Was on b1328.14(smth like that I think,now using beta)

Yes everything is updated, most of my hardware is out of support so no new updates usually

I’ve tried both with no differences

No new overclocking software

Size was not over 100, have experimented with different ones and manually overiding in compatibility settings

No antivirus except windows

We’re could I find this

Thanks once again

Sorry, other than upgrading your GPU I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions.
