Improve Performance - Only .txt changes needed
Tekijältä Aaron
I saw this advice on reddit and felt obliged to make this guide as my performance went from stutters every few seconds to silky smooth framerates akin to Warhammer 3 and so wanted other people who like this game to get more enjoyment out of it. I didn't understand why only one guide was top rated which involved copying files from Thrones of Britannia which some people may not have or the fix didn't work as one hoped.

Installing Attila and locating your .txt file 
Kommentit
Installing Attila and locating your .txt file
After installing Attila, the .txt we need (preferences.script) should be located as follows;
C:\Users\*Yourname*\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila\scripts

Once this has been done, open the file and locate two parts of this;
"number_of_threads" and "gfx_video_memory"

Threads needs to be set to how many threads your processor has (typically 8 should be enough however I personally set it to 15 (as I have a powerful processor) you can check by going into the details tab of task manager, right clicking an app (such as Attila) and set affinity (make sure you count CPU 0 as well unlike me).

Gfx video memory needs to be set to -4000. It's assumed that Attila wrongly calculates how much vram or rather caps the amount your card has which results in poor performance (alongside the other thread change). Changing this to -4000 causes it to detect more vram. Do not be alarmed if you load in and it says you have 512mb (that happened to me and I have 24gb), run the game and see the performance increase.

Thank you sir!!

@Aaron from my actual experience

frame dropping in very large battles or in campaign map is not acceptable at all with my current hardware and i have not had enough of this game yet so i would really recommend it as it makes it buttery smooth in Attila very large battles of at any point at the campaign map is what i have been dreaming of since release
so , no its not a bad or normal experience
its a glorious experience in my opinion of course :D

@Phuch Dat Bich Obviously I can't see everything with your machine to see what the cause is, do you have any settings enabled via the graphics card on the AMD app?

@Emir Ismael The only issue with lossless scaling (and it is a great workaround for games that you can't do it otherwise like command and conquer) is that it will double, triple fps etc however not the frame timings so the experience will always be inferior to actually rendering more frames.

i just came here to tell you people to use lossless scaling , i run this game on 180 FPS
always :D

@Aaron Vsync, unlimited memory, SSAO, none of these settings make any difference, whether they are on or off.... affinity to all the threads is set by default to all of them, i have tried turning them off one by one until it crashes the game but still no effect on performance.Game runs like dogshit whether on 4 threads or 12... also tried setting the priority of attila to "high" in task manager but to no avail.

@Phuch Dat Bich Assuming you are doing the settings right, what are the game options looking like? Have you tried turning off Vsync and unlimited memory? Do you also set affinity to all the threads aswell?
Phuch Dat Bich 23.10. klo 3.45 
@Aaron i have 12 threads including the "CPU 0" , that is the max threads my cpu has.
Aaron  [tekijä] 22.10. klo 9.06 
@Phuch Dat Bich Try setting number of threads to 13 as it should include CPU 0.
Phuch Dat Bich 22.10. klo 4.42 
Unfortunetely did not make any difference, but thanks for trying anyway. Guess the game is just too badly optimized. specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-Cores, 12 threads
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (16GB Vram)
32GB DDR5 RAM
2K resolution

No matter which number i put for gfx_video_memory game wont detect above 4GB of VRAM.
Putting 16 (the same Vram as my graphic card) shows i have 512mb, game still runs like crap.

for number_of_threads, tried with numbers from 8-12, still no difference.

On campaign map i get around 50-60 fps which is laughable, considering i get above 80 frames on max settings in warhammer 3.

In battles same issue, around 60 frames when not in view of any units but drops down to 30-40 frames when zooming in on units and large mosh pits.

@Baracko, it should say in the game options menu.
@MikeyyU No problem, happy to help.
