Update 3.5 | Forums

I'm still having fps drops on CP resets (min 54 fps for a second). It is less than before the update, but i's still annoying.

Turning off the frameskipper doesn't seem to do much for these fps drops on reset

I also tested this while watching a stream, wich gives alot of random fps drops trough the Eden track.

I know chrome is a memory hog, but I was able to run the game perfectly before the previous update.

without stream on background its 56-58 fps on reset
with stream on background it's 50-55 fps on reset


The frameskipper does work tough because when I turn it on for the eden track I get as low as 20fps with particles on the screen, but even with the frameskipper off I get random framedrops. I tried to find something consistent in the drops but they are very random, with most drops where water particles are. (this was on very high quality with a stream on the background)

Tested this in windowed mode on 720p resolution on Ultra.

Hi bassline001,
Thanks for your report.
Before updating to Patch 3.5 were you able to play on Ultra without any fps drop?

Regards,

The fps-drops have been in my game since the frameskipper was added. And if I'm not mistaken,this was when "Empires of the sky" was released so I actually don't know if for example, the Eden track where I have my biggest fps drops would have been smooth before that. But I'm assuming my rig should be able to handle it anyway.

I'll probably do some testing later when I have time and upload a video of some different setups (like with/without stream on background, with frameskipper off/on, different resolution)
