Hello.

I already have a few games under my belt and recently I can't finish the last ones I played. 

While I feel a slight drop in fps throughout the game, there is a huge drop towards the beginning of the last era on my last three games. 

Specifically, either the map stops loading (as if there are too many elements) and I have a war cloud on the whole map, or I am forced to play at about 2 fps.

This annoys me, because the game is really nice and fluid in the beginning and middle of the game, then becomes unplayable when the game gets more complex. 

For information, I have an i7 9700K, 16GB RAM, an RTX 2070 and I play on a 1TB SSD. 

I've already tried a few tricks I found here on the forum: enable Vsync, limit fps to 60, play in windowed mode, reduce graphics quality, and even play in 720p (I usually play in 1080p): nothing works. 

By the way, my graphics card is 100% used by the computer and its fans are working at full speed. 

Is there a solution to this problem? Maybe a patch is on the way?

As long as I have this problem, I can't see myself playing games over and over again if I can't finish them...

Thanks in advance!

Very nice day. 

I would say it's either some kind of bug or something tied to your configuration, because I can play "fine" with my GTX 970 (two generations older). I'm probably at 20FPS during the endgame if I'm zoomed in, but nothing compared to what you are experiencing...

I guess you already tried to update the nvidia drivers...

Could you also try the "enable vulkan" from this link if you have the game on Steam? https://www.thenerdmag.com/how-to-fix-humankind-launch-issue-on-windows-10-steam/

I also assume the issue is related to either your Humankind settings, drivers or even other software/hardware related problems.

For reference, I play in 2560x1440 WQHD, Gsync , Nvidia 1080 Ti, Ryzen 3700x, 32GB DDR4 3600mhz, SSD. FPS limit 120, quality settings: good (third highest). In late eras my FPS drop to arround 80+, which, because of Gsync is no issue for me. But nowhere near your 2 FPS.

What are your defaults for map generation? Player count, map size mainly. The 1080 Ti and the 2070 are mor or less on par.

Is the endgame slowing because of processor or GPU? I use GTX 970 too, and consider an upgrade if the bottleneck is caused by GPU.

Hello enveryone. 

Thank you for all your answers.

I tried everything including contacting the technical support and they don't have an answer.

They told me to try a few things but nothing works and now I just have to wait for a developper if any of them knows my problem. 

So I hope my problems will be fixed soon. 

Have a nice day !
