How to fix Total War: Warhammer 3 fps issues on Alder Lake CPUs

The Total War: Warhammer 3 release date is finally here, and we think it's "a triumphant step forward for the series on almost every front" in our review. Sadly, some players are experiencing performance issues while playing the RTS game, and it's not due to any influence from the Chaos Gods. Developer Creative Assembly is actively working to address these problems, and has provided some solutions which should help boost fps on Intel Alder Lake systems.

While 12th Gen Intel Core processors are some of the best gaming CPUs around, their hybrid architecture of performance and efficiency cores isn't playing nice with some videogames, including Total War: Warhammer 3. Thankfully, resolving this meddlesome incompatibility merely requires the creation of a text file in the game's scripts folder.

We expect that Creative Assembly will deploy a patch to address this mild but nonetheless annoying headache, but for now we've put together a guide that you can use to increase performance on your Alder Lake gaming PC down below.

Total Warhammer 3 is out now, but performance is a problem

Almost six years after the historical strategy action of Total War crashed into Games Workshop's wacky fantasy world of Warhammer, the trilogy wraps up today with Total War: Warhammer 3. Oh I'm sure expansions will follow, and the game-joining Mortal Empires campaign is still to come, but Total Warhammer 3 is here now. Sadly, the launch is somewhat blighted by many players suffering serious performance problems.

Unlock Total War: Warhammer III bonus race with this pre-order

The marriage between the Total War series and Warhammer, has given us two fantastic games so far - and the third one looks set to become another classic strategy game. If you're someone who's keen to get their hands on this game on day one (without a PC Game Pass subscription), the good news is that you can now pre-order it from Fanatical for 21% off the launch price.

So what sets Total War: Warhammer III apart from its two prequels? Well, for one thing, this game sees the introduction of several new races. Warhammer fans will be pleased to see the inclusion of the Grand Cathay and Kislev civilisations, based on Imperial China and Mediaeval Russia, respectively. On top of that, the game also includes factions based on the four Chaos Gods, Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh.

All the new races will enhance Total War: Warhammer III's multiplayer mode, but what about players who are more interested in the single player experience? Rest assured, the game has you covered on that front too. The game's story focuses on the four Ruinous Powers within The Realm of Chaos, who seek to plunge the world into darkness. With this realm beyond the world, the Grand Cathay and Kislev empires are brought into contact, even though they'd never have crossed paths before.
