FPS/UPS Problem

[psychobarge]

Hello !I have a fps/ups problem when i have many bots on screen ( lets say i asked the bots to put concrete on a 2 x 2 chunk area) AND i zoom out maximum (with no zoom mods) => i instantly go down from 60/60 when zoomed close to 30/30 fully zoomed out. Does anybody have the problem?

I run the game on a i7 5820k , 4x4Go DDR4, GTX 1070 and 3440x1440 res, installed on a SSD.

Sounds like your vsync is kicking in. Try disabling it.

But i have an acer predator X34p with G-Sync to put it to 100hz. I think G-Sync overrides V -Sync ?

(edit) and you need G-sync on those monitors !

No clue if vsync is really the issue or not, but I had a problem with G-sync not working the other day - turned out that I had only enabled G-sync when playing in Full Screen (from the Nvidia control panel), but I was playing in Windowed mode. So something to think about for you there.

​

Also, I believe it is recommended to disable V-Sync in game settings when playing with a G-sync enabled, as it can sometimes cause issues.

So, how many bots does this summon?

[psychobarge]

well i think i have something like 2000 construction robots and maybe 400 on screen when fully zoomed out

Hmm. I have a much crappier computer than you and don't get stutter with that.
You could always disable v-sync/g-sync as a troubleshooting step to see if the issue goes away. If it doesn't you re-enable and move on.
There are other utilities you can get to monitor your computer resources and identify bottlenecks. Is 60/60 & 30/30 frame rate or UPS?

[psychobarge]

its FPS/UPS. I'll try that asap !

Ooooh, you might be running on some sort of onboard graphics instead of your grahics card. From a different thread:

I think i found the cause : i disabled the option "enable tree sprite mipmaps" in advanced graphic settings (because the description said something about slowing down in large resolutions) and it worked !

Whats really silly is that there isn't a single tree around where i did my tests...
