The developer of Manor Lords has responded to player complaints about crashes and various glitches with the medieval city-building sim, explaining that most of them are related to outdated drivers.
On April 29, Slavic Magic responded to a Twitter user who made fun of the number of crashes in the recently launched city building simulator. In response to a thread about Manor Lords, one Twitter user criticized the game, prompting the official Manor Lords account to quote the response and clarify some things.
99% of crashes currently are due to outdated drivers. And when people say “I updated the drivers”, I check the logs and see the old drivers.
The developer also shared another suggestion for those experiencing crashes, revealing that another potential issue could be that the game defaults to FSR (AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution) and older GPUs can’t handle it. Fortunately, there is a solution:
For now you need to disable FSR in your settings.ini file, but this will be fixed soon.
In response, several other Twitter users reached out to Slavic Magic asking for more details. Specifically, should you use FSR or DLSS? To this the developer replied:
If you don’t have any glitches, use whatever looks best for you.
So if Manor Lords works fine for you, then there is no need to tinker with the settings yet.
The last few weeks have been busy for Slavic Magic. The game has been added to favorites by more than 3 million gamers. And with Manor Lords launching into Early Access last week, the city builder managed to sell 1 million copies just one day after release. In addition, work is underway on the upcoming patch.
Earlier this week, the developer revealed that future Manor Lords patches will focus on addressing issues with storage, archer damage, and the AI taking over every area it can reach.
