the houses and ruins are the mp problem ...

[raizde2 10]

ya, having to stop playing for 2 or 3 minutes because all player's fps drop from 50 to 5 is annoying

I did test a while ago when I saw something in the changelog but didn't find much diference - are you still doing the same test you did at Kavala earlier in this thread?

Got an answer to this question now. :) There's still generally 10 FPS difference for me in Kavala, but I managed to screenshot a best case cenario for me which was 6 FPS difference with the same test as before.

Intact:

Houses destroyed:

Very good improvement on this front.

Cool - I just tried as well doing the same thing I did here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?169682-the-houses-and-ruins-are-the-mp-problem&p=2573230&viewfull=1#post2573230

FPS is dropped, but not nearly as much as it was previously. Good job BIS.

That is all of Kavala leveled, right? How is the FPS doing in a normal gaming situation, say a couple of dozen leveled buildings?

Splendid nevertheless.

Consider that maybe lots more objects now are not culled.

You lose a lot of FPS even by simply staring at the ground. Unless viewport frustum culling is really really bad, I don't think it's related to culling, there's nothing to render. The only thing that comes to mind that's left is the simulation itself.

Screenshots below have been taken near a similar location to the camera in the initial tests. FPS is sliced in half when you're not even looking at them.

Buildings intact:

Buildings wrecked:

THanks for double checking! Seems like there's still a lot to optimize :confused:

Well done figuring this out JgBtl292!
