Title: Game lagging in main menu screen
Post by: Jackhenry621 on November 28, 2020, 06:35:32 AM
I was playing on Rimworld 1.1 on my laptop perfectly fine with no lag whatsoever. Then for some reason I had to re-install Windows. So I reinstalled Windows and downloaded the game again. But now, my game lags horribly on main menu screen itself!

The cursor moves fine, but the button presses are veery slow (like 2-3 frames on main menu)

Rest all games like CSGO, Valorant runs just fine, only Rimworld is lagging.

What might be the issue?

Few efforts I did:
Re-installed rimworld
Started a clean slate (No mods, no saves)
Set Rimworld to use my main graphic card rather than integrated one

Hi,

QuoteSet Rimworld to use my main graphic card rather than integrated one
you be sure about that ?
Could you take a look at the log file (player.log) at the beginning you should see what videocard (Renderer: ) rimworld use.

Since you reinstall the OS, i don't think you forget to update the videodriver ?

Hello,

Yes you are right. Apparently, my Monitor drivers were outdated.
I downloaded a 3rd Party Software to update my Monitor Display Driver (because according to Windows my drivers were up to date).

After updating it, it fixed a lot of issues one of them including Rimworld to run properly again.
I had no Brightness slider, no Battery power options.
After updating monitor drivers, everything fixed.

So yeah, it was my Monitor driver (My video driver,Nvidia, was up-to-date too though)
Thank you very much
Problem = fixed now
