0.82.6 - major performance problems

[Licho]

Im having major performance problems in new version. Getting under 25FPS in smallish 2v2 games now and CPU loads above 35-40%.

I never had problems in spring even in huge games - i got 3.7ghz dual core and ati 5850

[Licho]

Perhaps its related to another bug im having - projectiles disappear (plasma bool or rocket model- CEG effects still visible).

Google reported that problem too.

i got same cpu problems and fps either :<

what is v-sync ? should i disable it or not ?

Another new issue is that sound becomes mangled broken if i run spring minimized.

I often task switch to do other stuff while playing or i simply spectate and have it running in background.

It used to work perfectly until this release. After some time sound becomes choopy/laggy and it seems to lag whole OS.

It can be fixed by switching back to game.

[zerver]

Sound is supposed to be muted when you minimize. At least this is what happens to me (on windows).

[Licho]

Its not muted, its volume is identical on windows7. Just becomes progressively more and more broken and laggy.

Eventually after many minutes it can become silent.

If i then switch back, game is freezed for several seconds until.

the sound mute works for me too, as zerver described it. though, when i disable sound with F6, it also lags the system for some 2 to 3 seconds. that happens since a long time already though, not new to this release. on F6, spring only sets the volume to 0, so i can not see how it would be springs fault.

for the performance issues... Alt+B and /debuginfo profiling.

D:

haaalp :< i cant play spring, my life is ruined

[hoijui]

Wombat, at this time of the game, it was lagging?
could you please try NoSound=1 in spring settings. i do not believe that this will change anything, but just to be sure.

I also got disappearing shields bug recently.
(Also new to this version).

I was observing game and suddenly all shields in game stoppped rendering and switched visible/invisible state several times in like 1s intervals.

projectiles disappear

I also got disappearing shields bug recently.

Personnaly it's my units that disappear for brief instants in that new 0.82.6.

[hoijui]

for the performance issue:
Licho, could you please do what i suggested too?
"/debuginfo profiling" ends up in infolog, btw. and try NoSound=1.

jK sugggested it might be an issue related to ATI, does anyone with non-ATI GFX have the performance issue?

[Licho]

Yeah i will try that sound thing. I dont believe performance is sound problem. Im more inclined to believe its yet another ATI related problem.

[hoijui]

yeah me too, but this is easy to test.

Nvidia here. It's all good as far as I can tell.

[aegis]

no problems with nvidia here.

[Licho]

Not a sound problem.

Nvidia here with the disappearing projectiles and shields bug.
