| Summary | 0001121: Game slows down rapidly if single player "lags" | ||||
| Description | Behavior was much nicer in .71 Now single player with poor CPU or connection can make game unplayable for all. | ||||

|
I must agree with Licho on this one, imo this is the currently most serious bug, and it makes green fields completely unplayable. |
|
|
I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with it - if a player doesn't have the cpu power to run the sim at a decent speed, we can't really make him lag out. Maybe we could skip Lua Draw callins if the player can't keep up...? |
|
|
You don't have to make him lag out. If all you do is push his computer hard enough that his cpu is at maybe 75% of a core, but he still has a non-slideshow fps, the game should be able to run along pretty well. But when you take it easy on the bad computers the game slows down horribly. |
|
|
I made following changes: - limit the slowdown to the half of the user speed settings (1 userspeed -> 0.5 min speed) - increase the wantedCPU base to 0.5 (was 0.35) |
|
|
Is that enough? In the .71 it never slowed down to 0.5 and people almost never lagged out, so what was different? |
|
|
Err i mean it was fine in 76, not in 71, sorry :) |
|
|
It would be nice if wantedcpu had the number of cores available to divide by. |
|
|
Difference was that this feature has had a bug in 0.76 and didn't work, it worked in previous versions and the algorithm didn't changed since then. And the second core is mostly idling and not used by spring, so why take it into account? |
|
|
Do we need this feature then? I prefered the bugged version over version that slows down.. |
|
|
I've been noticing some slowdown thats completely independent of players cpu power. aka the game slows down even in 1v1s, where there is never much cpu needed. |
|
|
reportedly fixed in next version. reopen otherwise. |
