Performance Issues

alright so I was never a high fps player but recently the game is so clunky that you struggle to navigate. It runs like how I used to run garry’s mod on heavy modded servers. Any way to improve the performance?

This is how it is for me too : (

I’m not sure what got merged but the difference is astounding between last week having no issues, and this week (the later half) having mega fps issues.

It might be something that got merged because it used to run normal for me just a week ago. I used to have fps like this during multiz tests did that got merged? Just a guess tho

Have you upgraded to Byond 516 or are you still on 515?

Same. Barely matters if I’m on Beta or Stable, feels super choppy in spite of a good ping, and great machine specs overall.

I stopped playing on main a couple of weeks ago since i got addicted to PvE, but coming back to main I had multiple FPS problems even updated my byond to the new version didnt really seen to help at all and changing my FPS preferences did nothing.

Whatever PR got merged is making CM unbearable to play as a corpseman or anything really.

Precisely. It’s horrendous. Slightly more bearable on lowpop, but, highpop? Bleak. I’ve had a handful of incidents with ENORMOUS input delay because of the lag. I press A once, and end up walking all the way into the Queen Mother’s home planet.

I’ve no idea what it is that was merged that could possibly be causing all of this, but it’s hopefully to be addressed soon, or I’ll have to make the switch to PvE altogether.

This might be my own bias, but I could swear it’s the faster cellauto. It would make sense why it’s at strange intervals, since it would only happen when an explosion calculation-gone-wrong happens.

Somebody please prove me wrong if I am

Yeah I’ve noticed FPS getting worse lately too. I’d suspect it was multi Z, but surely the framework doesn’t affect performance that much by itself???

Regardless, highpop now feels really bad.

516.1654(the currently recommended ver), FPS set to 40, game runs terribly for me as well as of late, been hard to tell how much is my internet network having issues as it is prone to do and how much is the game itself, but I’ve barely been able to play for the past week or two.

I have fps set to 100, still on 5.15, my internet is currently spotty so unable to give good info if performance has been worse.

I would also recommend clearing the cache in your byond launcher. Supposedly it will help.

515 is terrible performance wise, even back when faster cell auto and multiz wasn’t a thing. i’m on a slightly outdated beta version, 516.1650, and it works just fine

Yeah but thing is, I’ve never had a problem with 515 even while playing on PvE, only when returning to main did I notice multiple FPS problems. Not sure what even happened, even when playing the multi-z maps during test rounds were fine. And yeah clearing cache did nothin…

Same. PVE is runnin fine for me too. For now I guess I’ll have to stick to non-combat roles and hope it fixes itself
