i only have problems with trees is there any command to remove the trees?


(Dwu) #3

Problem I’m having isn’t my hardware maxing out, instead the usage never goes past 30% on neither GPU or CPU and im still getting poor framerates (70-110 unstable) and I’m pretty sure theres other people with similar issues. I don’t think the game properly utilizes threading or something. Since I’m getting same framerates with ultralow CFG and with everything maxed cfg with i7-3930k, GTX970.
