Waco Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I wish I could be enthusiastic about this. I loved Dawn of War II, but this is much more RTS than a squad-based tactical game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burasutsu Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 @Waco Unfortunately, you are in the minority there. This is a return to what the game originally was, and the squad based tactical gameplay of Dawn of War 2 infuriated most fans of the series. Kind of wished they'd kept DoW going as an RTS and kept making games in the Space Marine: Squad Command series to continue that trend. I thought that game handled squad combat pretty well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Agreed - I was just hoping Dawn of War III would continue the squad type gameplay. I didn't really enjoy Dawn of War I. Two separate series would have been fine by me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Picked it up yesterday. The game is far from optimized and I get 30FPS Max setting @ 1440 with a GTX 1070. I was expecting more of COH2, but Its like a failed RTS mixed with a MOBA. Eh maybe it will grow on me. So far I feel like I wasted $40 so I'm going back to COH2.

Waco Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Running like crap at max settings doesn't mean it's not optimized. If it runs like crap at *all* settings, then you can make that claim. I'd rather have a game that can look better with better hardware that one that caps out with current mid-range hardware at 60 FPS.

Braegnok Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 This game's optimization is a piece of ++heresy redacted++. https://community.dawnofwar.com/discussion/10311/dawn-of-war-iii-performance-thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceeding your VRAM is a GREAT way to have amazingly crappy performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) +1,.. I played the beta for two days and enjoyed 60 fps mostly on med settings with no AA, I seldom use AA or all the settings they were complaining about. When I seen that ++heresy redacted++ post from the 3GB vram 780 on the performance thread I had to share it.

ir_cow Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I ended up turning down AA. The game doesn't benefit much from this, but it is a start and maybe the next patch will balance the game better. Maybe it will never be fixed lol. took Relic about 3 years to finally clean up COH2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
