what do you mean with faf?
the faf client?
the faf patched game supreme commander forged alliance?

test if the same thing happens in steam/retail fa

happens the same with retail steam game.

edit: not the faf client, as soon as i load the game it hits 100% i changed settings in game, nothing changes.

are you sure that you are using your gfx card and not the on board graphics?

[HixxyDubz]

how do i check if the game is using my onboard graphics card as opposed to my actual gpu? is there a setting in the game or game files that selects which gpu?

I suffered with stuttering, low FPS and UI lag for months, I tried everything I could think of. Recently I just tried switching from Win 10 back to Win 7 and everything turned back to normal, playing felt like bliss now.
Not even a fresh install of Win 10 on a new SSD with everything else helped. I also tried a bunch of drivers and even a new GPU among some of the things I tested.

Just letting you know if you want to try that...

appreciate the advice but i cant afford to switch over to windows 7 right now, so thats not an option for me, guess il just quit the game until there can be a fix for it.
