Flickering, Slow choppy, Freezing

[jade sedge]

Hello I haven't played Foundation for a couple of months. I got on to play and started a new villiage. I noticed flickering of buildings and other parts of the game ie rocks. There also was a lot of choppy movement of characters and the camera. The game almost seems to stop when I try to place new buildings. Especially when trying to draw hedges or walls. I turned the graphics all the was down and I still had this issue. Everything is up to date and I play with no mods. Never have. Thanks.

Here is what I run: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1260P 2.10 GHz

I have attached the recommended files as well.

It looks like you don't have a dedicated graphics card that meets the minimum requirements to run the game.
The dxdiag is reporting Intel UHD integrated graphics.
Bearing in mind the minimum spec (GTX 660) really is minimum you can see in the following benchmarks the higher end of the UHD (770) is falling way short of requirements: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/4473vs2152vs3548/Intel-UHD-Graphics-770-vs-GeForce-GTX-660-vs-GeForce-GTX-1060

This is going to be an issue for sure. The game really does need a dedicated GPU.

How were things last time you played?

That makes sense. The last time I played I didn't experience most of these issues. It slowed down some once my village grew to a very large size. But none of the flickering or hedge issues.
