| Summary | 0003833: notAmap (generated map): lags when playing, seems as pathing lags | ||||
| Description | When many players in game, the game is laggy, increase with numbers of units and number of players in game. Move order for many units can freeze the game sometimes for few seconds. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Try this nightly release of notAmap http://nota.googlecode.com/files/notAmap-0022.sdz with mapOptions: maptype = mediterranean hash = 1..99999 (any of these numbers, but not empty! springlobby have problem with it sometimes when hosted) (it should work with default values, too, but some testers had issues) | ||||
| Additional Information | - worse with more players in game (with 2 its noticable, with 4 it becoms unplayble) - if more terraforming on the map, bigger lags | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

attached images shows the problem: 20 aircrafts were sent over the map, and game was slower, slower, slower... dead. |
|
|
images show that lag happens in :Draw -> not Sim related at all |

oh whole response lost, so again, shorter: 1) What belongs to Draw? Can I affect it as game/map developer? 2) No matter in which category it belongs, it happends just after units are sent on huge distance, so the problem is somehow binded with moving (maybe drawing moving, not caluclating moving, but still moving) Observation1: with all NOTA widgets, UI off, its still the same. I dont know about any gadget doing some huge operations over units. Observation2: I tried to play notAmap with different game for comparation - TechAnnihilation. The lag is not present there in same way (its there, but not massive). For slowdown you need hundreds of flying units. In both games (NOTA, TechA) i was using similar units - Freedom Fighter, in most of unitDefs units are similar, models are almost the same, only big difference is in fly altitude. Some NOTA airplanes fly very high (+/- 500) in comparation with other games. Maybe high fly calculations/drawing can cause the problem. |

can be LOS the reason? ive tested NOTA with lower LOS resolution: losMipLevel = 3, airMipLevel = 4, and huge lag is not present now with so small number of units. If this is the reason, i found a solution, just increase those two values, but still there are 2 issues remaining to solve: 1) current default values are bad losMipLevel = 1, airMipLevel = 2, if just 20 flying units are able to kill whole game in 0.0000001 fps 2) why this setting the parameters in modrules.lua dont work: los = { losMipLevel = 3, airMipLevel = 4, }, and this works: sensors = { los = { losMipLevel = 3, airMipLevel = 4, }, }, I mean why this table has 3 levels, but other tables in modrules has just 2 levels? Theres no mention about this "feature" in wiki, btw: http://springrts.com/wiki/Modrules.lua ... shall I update the wiki or you plan to change this? |

|
btw this LOS-lag and many units-sent lag is not just notAmap related, it happends in any game with many units (94.1), just on notAmap its worse (easier to get the lag) |

i don't see a bug in spring here. could be every lua gadget or widget which uses opengl. maybe the map borders?! |
