Performance Tanking at 3000 users on min spec computer

MMORPG Tycoon 2
#1

The game ran fine until my subscribers went over 3000, now it runs at 5 to 6 frames per second.

Here are my specs:
Display size (in.) 15.6
Operating system (as tested) Windows 10 Home
Processor Intel Core i3-6006U 2GHz
Memory (GB) 8
Storage (GB) 1000
Video memory (MB) N/A
LCD resolution 1366 x 768
Video adapter Intel HD Graphics 520

Yea it is a potato.
Thinking going for Steam refund, as this is now unplayable.

And below min specs!

We do have performance improvements coming (and already live on the ‘test’ branch on Steam if you’d like to try them), but you’re probably always going to have trouble on that i3 processor and integrated graphics chipset. :cry:

My bad, for not reading the specs closely.

Anyway, I am still having a ball with this game, just have to be happy on early play throughs with under 2-3000 users.
