Captain_Colossus Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 has anyone experienced performance issues with the update? my impression is there has been a significant impact on framerates with the update. scenarios which were rather smooth prior now experience noticeable stuttering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed some loss of fluidity, but along with that a new level of quality in the graphics. I cant explain exactly, but something has changed and it looks quite better. Â Perhaps you need to tweak your graphics settings now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirzayev Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I noticed a bit of a performance drop. With that being said, I installed ReShade to try it out, and noticed that my FPS value is more consistent now. I get around 62-65, with that dropping to about 50 if I do some crazy stuff like add in a 18,000 meter visual distance on the mission editor, etc. I don't know why it is working (I'm not using any options except for increased clarity) but it does make a *slight* difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've had a huge hit to FPS with this update, and have observed drops from 60fps to 30fps for routine missions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 +1 We have tweaked all the server side options down. But its still noticeable lower FPS in our MP sessions. Â One workaround seems to be to set visual range down. But thats not really a solution 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 Would be good to know if it happens in all the scenarios all of the time, or just some of the scenarios, and there generally, or just in some scenes/stages of the battle. the more you can narrow it down the better our chances to find out what caused it. Another option is that it's hardware and/or driver dependent. Â I'm sure, if it would happen across the board in all scenarios, our beta testers would have reported it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Colossus Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 after i installed the update, i immediately set to rule out i either i had some malware running slowing down the system, or perhaps that i had two instances of steel beasts running at the same time; in the mission editor, there is a heavy feel pressing the WASD keys in free move mode when scanning around the terrain, as if the POV camera is dragging a heavy weight along with it.  i am not sure the graphics alone are the issue: subjectively, other than some texture changes to individual objects, the engine looks the same if not similar to what it was before. the difference is how much slower scenarios are running, and this is noticeable in all but the very smallest scenarios with limited objects and viewing distances such as instant action.  on a custom map and scenario, i estimate the frame rates are maybe half of what they were before; paring down the viewing distance, shadow mapping, turning down anti aliasing to the lowest setting and removing large sections of forest from the map were unconvincing in a small performance gain. in this scenario before it was the large number of units, particularly infantry which were the bottleneck, as these units were killed and removed, the scenario tended to speed up over time- not this time however after the update.  while all this is preliminary and sketchy, it seems as if the hardware went backwards maybe a generation in trying to keep up with the software (my machine is a year and half old, top of the line hardware when i bought it then). i have a few hours a week i can run steel beasts, i'll keep looking for patterns which may be related to it.   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Sessine Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Yes, my FPS are much worse now too. I used to be able to run it at max settings and stay fluid, but things go down as low as 13 fps sometimes. I can't really figure out what the pattern is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted February 2, 2021 Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well then, what are your graphics cards, and which driver versions do you use? The NVidia Control Panel should provide answers to these questions (unless you're using an AMD card, of course). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti; latest drivers.  generally steel beasts was running smooth across the sorts of scenarios i tend to run; as noted the difference came with the update; even scaling down graphics wasn't really worth the slight gain in FPS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenny Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well, I'm running a 12GB RAM , 3,4 GHz Processor Widnows 10 system with a NVIDIA 1070 graphics card. Â It has been running in the 40s FPS wise before and after the update... I do get a FPS hit when using the Piranha V tough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted February 5, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2021 With a risk of walking into a minefield (I admit that I don't always read all the replies)...  Speaking of system performance in 4.250...  One thing that would help, regarding performance comparisons, is if someone had both version of SB installed (4.167 and 4.250) and run the same scenario on both, observing in the same location, with the same exact ALT+D and ALT+G settings, for an actual fps number comparison.  Otherwise, just saying that performance is worse doesn't help a lot, unfortunately. I know its a lot to ask, but its the best way to get a direct comparison to help narrow things down (to % performance difference).   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 i just did a scheduled windows update unrelated to troubleshooting the low FPS, and it seems to have improved performance. that might be the issue there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted February 9, 2021 Members Share Posted February 9, 2021 So far, we're "not seeing it". There were no code changes that have the potential to make a big difference; if at all, 4.250 is running faster on the developers' machines (if only slightly). We need more details from you, driver versions (be specific), card models, screenshots of scenes where you have low frames (so maybe it's related to objects in the scene). If you have reduced framerates while looking at the sky, that would be an important clue as well (but probably there won't be differences). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
