How to greatly improved performance on some multicore CPUs
By Arthurius
1. In Windows search tab write: %appdata%
2. Go to Username/Appdata/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Three Kingdoms/sripts
3. Make backup ,,preferences.script.txt'' file
3. Edit ,,preferences.script.txt'' file
4. Change number of threads from 0 to exactly number of threads of your CPU :
Edit line:
number_of_threads 8; # number_of_threads <int>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number #
5. Change number of threads from 0 to exactly number of threads of your CPU in additional line::
number_of_threads_for_campaign_pathfinder_cache 0; # number_of_threads_for_campaign_pathfinder_cache <int>, Set the number of threads to be used for the campaign pathfinder cache. This is independent from and additional to the number_of_threads. < 0 - automatic up to the specified number, >= 0 - explicit number #

For exapmle 4,8,12,16 etc.

After this changes, CPU load factor in my system growth from 50-60 to 85-100% ----> +20% frame rate on campaign map.
It is true mainly in systems with new powerful grafic cards like RTX 2060-2080 and old multicore CPUs.

Only first number in row, before # symbol.

For example:

number_of_threads 20; # number_of_threads <int>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number #

and

number_of_threads_for_campaign_pathfinder_cache 20; # number_of_threads_for_campaign_pathfinder_cache <int>, Set the number of threads to be used for the campaign pathfinder cache. This is independent from and additional to the number_of_threads. < 0 - automatic up to the specified number, >= 0 - explicit number #

Hi!
i must change only first text in rows?

Here , only number_of_threads ( ); , for example 20;
number_of_threads 20; # number_of_threads <int>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number # Right?
Or

number_of_threads 20; # number_of_threads <20>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number #

Not sure what cpu I have I look in the morning
sam.pidgeon 28 Oct, 2021 @ 4:13pm 
FPS is average for campaigns and battles around 90
sam.pidgeon 28 Oct, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
ok i sorted out already still laggy at times in battles when there thousands of units and arrows flying through the air.

all settings on medium

It's CPUs threads, not GPU
sam.pidgeon 28 Oct, 2021 @ 11:45am 
i need help doing this where it says number of threads i changed it to 12 as i have rtx 2060 card
where it says set the number of threads <=0 do i change that to a 12 as well or leave it?

nice
Arthurius  [author] 27 Aug, 2020 @ 3:25pm 
Yes, just under line from step 4:

For example:

number_of_threads 8
number_of_threads_for_campaign_pathfinder_cache 8
