Maybe try this?

@topo

Anyone who’s tried AoS on windows 8 has probably noticed it performs pretty badly even with decent specs. This is due to some shit with DirectDraw blah blah here’s a fix

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"C:\\Path\\To\\AoS\\client.exe"="$ DWM8And16BitMitigation Layer_ForceDirectDrawEmulation"

Save that as xyz.reg and run it. Works for whatever version, will work for several versions simultaneously (you only have to run it once per version - just make sure you get the path right).

If you play fullscreen, you’ll probably experience screen flickering. I don’t have a fix for this, so unfortunately you get to pick between shitty framerate and annoying, distracting screen flickering. I prefer to play at 60fps, so I put up with it.

ps bagz is a noob

EDIT YAY

I got sick of the flickering bullshit, so here’s another fix. It doesn’t require the original fix to run. It does prevent you from alt-tabbing out of aos (sorry). If you use a higher resolution you might have some fps issues while zoomed. Apart from that I love it woo

Grab this and extract it into your ace of spades directory. That should be all you need to do afaik :D/

Also you might to want to double check your resolution settings in the congfig file.

Did you try changing your resolution?

I had the same issue but the link I used to resolve it no longer works. It may have been topo’s fix though.

I had it on 800x600 by default, tried different resolutions and it didn’t work
