Suppose you buy a full version of a game thinking it will be fun but when you plug it in, it either freezes or lags too much. Wouldn’t that be frustrating? That’s exactly the case with Railway Empire, an action-strategy game released at the start of this year.
The game is available for $49 in the market and you can get it at Amazon.
As of penning down of this blog post, we have observed that a lot of people are experiencing lag issues with the game and sadly enough no clear solution available on the Internet.
The most appalling aspect of this issue is that Railway Empire, a production of Kalypso Media, is yet to release an official statement on the issue. The very little amount of info available on this issue can be found on Steam forums, where the majority of the users have resorted to crowd-based help to solve the lag issue.
We have made a list of some of the workable solutions of the Railway Empire lag and freeze issue and hopefully, these will help you get a good start with the game.
- Disable the Antivirus and Protection Software
The same old solution that generally helps solve most lag and freeze issues related to games on Steam. Just disable your antivirus program and the game will instantly receive a huge boost. In most cases, users are experiencing dripping FPS (Frames Per Second) just because the antivirus program considers it to be a malicious software and keeps scanning it. By disabling the antivirus or at least the scan facility during the time you play the game, you can achieve at least some level of peace.
- Compile a report and send to Steam
The second solution is to compile a report and send it over to Steam and Railway Empire team. Until now, many users have already tried this method out but to no avail. Nonetheless, there is still no harm in giving it a try.When the game crashes, simply press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys and open the Task Manager.
Right-click Railway Empire and now select Create Dump File. This process will take a while to conclude.
Once done, locate the file and send it to Railway Empire. You need to first tell them that you have a .dmp file available through this forum. They will then ask you to send a zipped version of the same.
- Activate Vertical Refresh in Graphics Settings
In most current games, Vertical Refresh results in more brighter and clearer screen graphics. It also leads to a notable decrease in the FPS rate. Vertical Refresh basically syncs the graphics vertically allowing the graphics to slowly appear on the screen, making them appear in HD. - Set Graphics Settings in Game to Low
Finally, set game settings details to Low for terrain details and texture details. Some users have reported that this also helps a great deal in fixing the lags and freezes in Railway Empire.
Run Railway Empire Better Than Before
Once you are done fixing these settings, simply clean Windows junk and registry with a registry tool of your choice. Use RegInOut System Utilities for this purpose. It performs it’s job with remarkable expertise and boosts your computer’s performance big time.
You can also uninstall and reinstall your game driver or update it if you have not already done so. An outdated driver can also lead to low FPS of game-graphics clogging.
You can further tweak your Graphics Card using this PCMag graphics card tweak guide. But make sure you have either a GTX 1060 or a GTX 1080 Graphics Card available before you go about tweaking. Also, R9 270x and R9 290x are also some great cards for playing Railway Empire in full settings.
