Framerate

Post by peanutzrgud »

Please give any and all tips you can for achieving a constant 60 fps.

I'm absolutely positive that I have no hardware limitations for this game.

Please share the best setting configuration for the highest framerate possible.

I have 8gbs of ram, 2.57 GhZ, an AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics, and the lowest settings on Amber and mine always runs at 10-15 fps, 30+ inside. idk why it runs slow.

Because Jorbtar threw potatos at a screen till it became Haven, thats another reason why they dont exist ingame.

I know you have said that you're positive on it, but what are your specs?

Try turning the map off (Debug -> Show map) ¦]

I can get 60fps fairly easy out in the wood most of the time, but there are some terrains where rendering the map absolutely kills my fps and turning it off boosts my fps by a ton.
Lots of flavor objects will kill your fps also, and in general lots of objects in villages will eventually takes its toll and the only way to combat it is by hiding (which is okay) or just deleting unnecessary objs you don't care about.

Turning off shadows or atleast turning down the quality also will help typically, and iirc turning off render water surface actually helps a bit if you're near a bunch of water.

I don't know if Amber features turning off map or deleting objects. I would imagine it had hiding at least, but I don't use Amber so I don't know specifically how it's done.

The water surface can be toggled via: ':gl wsurf 0' to turn off or ':gl wsurf 1' to turn it back on. Visually it turns off that blue surface and makes it just transparent, and iirc last time i did it at a place where i had bad fps it did help a bit.

Shadows should have an option in the Video Settings tab to turn off atleast.

Yea, I turned shadows off already. But where do you type commands? like in system chat?
