If you see me in forest....(FIXED!!)

December 24, 2013 - 3:04pm — Ourania

Hey guys, I haven't been in forest much in the past few months because my computer just doesn't seem to want to handle it anymore. I have no idea what's changed but no matter how many deer are in and if nothing else is running, I get horrible lag and less than 10 fps constantly. Most of the time it's 5 or less. It's really frustrating and I've done all I know to do .. cleared cache/cookies, done a disk cleanup, reset the internet multiple times, cleaned the dust out, run as administrator, run virus/malware scans, turned down forest viewer settings etc. So if you do happen to see my deer in the forest and it's acting weird, bare with me, I'm lagging horribly |D Also, any help with this would be much appreciated ;;

I guess you already tried the

I guess you already tried the classic TEF settings like lowering the nature detail, turning off the shadows, reflections, blinking eyes, deer detail, running TEF in fullscreen...

If nothing else, it can help you indicate, where the problem is: tur off all you can in the Forest Viewer. Is your framerate increasing? If yes, then it should be something with your computer. If not, it can be a connection issue.
However, I don't really know if it is true, it's just my idealized view, how computers work.

Ah yeah, I forgot to add I

Ah yeah, I forgot to add I have done all of that. I'll edit and add that in. I think I'll also go in and play with the settings some more and see if I can rule out stuff. I am pretty sure it's my computer as my internet runs fine.

Edit: I played around with the settings. Even turning all players off, I only get 10fps. When my forest was working fine, turning players down would give me 15-20+ fps. I just really don't know what's going on ;~;

Can you check if your

Can you check if your graphics card has any driver updates? Even if it doesn't, something could've happened to the current one and installing might fix it.

headdesks I went to my

*headdesks* I went to my graphics card software and clicked on the driver update link. Clicked to check for updates and it gave me an error. I did everything it told me to do to try and resolve the issue and nothing worked. So I went to my hardware manager and tried to update it there and it said it couldn't find any updates. I am so done ;~;

Fly: I miss everyone but at the moment the forest is very unplayable for me. I don't know what else to do except upgrade my whole computer but I can't do that right now.

Thanks for everyone's help so far <3
