TRS 22 gpu usage issue

[VLjointed]

Hello, I'm new to Trainz and I've been experiencing an issue.

My GPU usage keeps fluctuating wildly when playing TRS22 (Build 126295), causing the game to lag and stutter constantly. I'm using a Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX9 with an RTX 4060 and an i7-14650HX, and I have no issues running other GPU-intensive games smoothly.

Is there any known fix or tweak for this? I'd really appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm using an RTX 2060 and not experiencing this problem...
Typically, one way is to reduce the graphics (distance, shadows etc).
Is your version (126295) up-to-date? My version is higher than that.

Remember that much of the content is created by users, some is more demanding than others so be selective. Don't attempt to put the sliders over to max detail. Laptops tend to overheat and throttle by the way.

126295 (SP4) is an old version. Latest is 129388 (SP5 HF).

Make sure that Trainz is excluded from any real time scans like virus and malware scans.

Try lowering your vertical sync to half. I found that this works well due to the variability with Trainz content and heavy scenery and makes for a much smoother performance with less heat. I do this on my RTX3080 desktop and on my Alienware M18 R2 with an RTX4090. From what I've read, mobile chips aren't quite as fast as their desktop equivalents, but share a lot of the same features. This compromise is done to assist with cooling in the smaller confines of a laptop.

Speaking of cooling and power, check your power and cooling settings. If your laptop is getting excessively warm, increase the fan speed. Some laptops, such as my Alienware M18 R2, have performance settings that can be increased that affect the power management and fans to allow for smoother gameplay.

and turn off 'physicsX', that's a real killer.
