Brutal FPS drop after xmas update

[Dracice]

i got brutal FPS drop after xmas update
i had 150FPS 1920x1200 Full detail shadows disabled, now after xmas update i have 3-30 FPS on same settings and 18FPS ON SAFE MODE!!!
when i looking in wall, 10-12FPS when i moving, now i just cant play!

NGD dont touch code when it working! ~14days ago surak repired bug in oGL and i was happy, now its all in ass again!

I was about to open a thread too...
I have a performance drop too but not as extreme as in your case. It's quite close to the FPS I had before the fix :(
Plus a thing that is more annoying:
I run like 20 meters and the game will "freeze" for part of a second. Then I can run some distance and it re-occurs almost periodically. The frame counter drops from ~70 to 35 then. But it actually is rather like a short freeze and very annoying.
On Amun I don't have this problem. I also reloaded all the ressources and changed settings. No effect. Until the christmas event everything was fine.

ArchLinux 64Bit

Same here people...

nVidia GForce 6500 256mb
Windows XP
Intel Pentium 4 3.06 ghz x2

I use to play with 40-35 fps on fixed pipeline, with constant freezes because of my cpu, but now I have 5-15 fps.

Hi,

We're almost sure that this is about a broken resource. Please try to search which of the creatures, buildings, etc. may be causing this when entering your view range.

We are looking for the problem too, but any help will be appreciated.

Please also see this thread, (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=70230) I suspect they might be related.

I already suspected the new mounts as the source of problem but seems not to be the case.
I tried on various locations (syrtis between pp and central save and in rasius bay). The similarities there are rocks, trees and grass (and the sky :p)
But recently I discover a big breakdown in cities even worse than it used to be :(
It will be no easy task to find the ressource :p

[Klutu]

Too me it seems to be the Pyro Grinch's

pp-aggs/herb area is terrible atm for me

[surak]

hmmmm

check if turning off particles help.

[Miraculix]

This happens on DirectX in Fisgael where the new Christmas Tree is. The tree also looks a bit weird. I don't know if that's related or if it is the same FPS drops that were happening before.

No change:huh:

+i think i have +300>MiB VM then before ( when i using safe mode) now i have 990MiB VM in safe mode, but i had like 500-600MiB before xmas update in safe mode.

Same for Ignis' Altaruk town, you don't even need to see the town, just passing by is enough to cause a huge fps drop and a shitload of ram use.


Relogging out of sight from Altaruk fixes the problem for me, though I have to avoid now to not get near the town. >.>

[Sayge]

ALTARUK'S BEEN HACKED! i know it has! everytime i even THINK about that town, i crash!

[NotScias]

+1, 8 FPS in Fisgael, while I should have at least 50.

Archlinux x64
ATI HD 4670 - Catalyst 12.10

Running in win 7 I noticed the same problem .

With shader 4 and most settings up I ended up with about 14 FPS in Altaruk which became a bit worse when the sandstorm started. My VM was topping out at 1760. It usually sat comfortably below 1200 previously. FPS was usually ~56.

The problem occurs anytime you approach the city and stays once you are in there.

[Greenm]

same in mont city
game had dropped from 120 fps to 1-30,with constant freezes all over the realm
ive noticed,when killing the grinches,they dont always register as dead in the log,could that be the bugged resource you speak of?
btw ..this xmas event smells alot to me like rotten pumpkins,comon NGD im sure you can come up with origonal idea's for events,seems to us like you did not put alot of effort into creativity or testing on this one!!
score for origonality 1/10,score for game stabilty 0/10,score for player satisfaction 0/10
thats 1/30 =3.33% = fail!

[Myxir]

Roll out your backup, cancel the event. It's really unplayable!
Fix it and restart the event. The current state is unacceptable.

[Orimae]

(Horus Ignis) Altaruk is worst, but all over in realm, im seriously lagging, some NPC arent showing up..no mobs in view, no tree's around...nothing..just lag..random lag... logged off after 15 mins of it...

[Anpu]

Terrible situation in Fisgael. Also console keeps reporting something about staffs whenever I meet mages on the way and FPS drops a bit. New mobs are fine, no lag with them. New hats no idea, didn't meet anyone with it on head (except mobs). Hopefully you can fix it very soon, performance is quite bad on a good PC, won't even guess how its for users with older hardware.

[KKharzov]

I had to pull my computer from the plug in Figael. Regnum was eating INSANE amounts of my CPU. Worst part is I can't log in on the character until they do something about the lag, because I'm still there in the city itself. Oh dear.

[Ashnurazg]

Same problem with Windows and DirectX. It looks like a memory leak at the NPCs. I tried it at Ubuntu Linux 10.10 x64, too.

At city of Fisael I have 13 FPS and very high memory load (over 1.8GB).
At the warzone, after a relogg, I have 200-300 FPS. :¬¬:

[surak]

Is it better now?

[Greyman_tle]

Seems to be.....went from 17fps back to ~180 after reset. good job.

[KKharzov]

60 FPS. Fixed.

BTW the Stolen Gifts quest is bugged though. Can't interact with the tree.

[Masterkick]

Much better! I'm curious, what was the cause of the problem?

[Miraculix]

Fixed! :)

[NotScias]

Confirmed here too.
Thanks !

[Inkster]

Yup works fine here to

[surak]

Thorkul.

(I'm not kidding)
