Questions about performance

The fix with the mantis is live - yes

A work of art is never finished, merely abandoned

I failed to reproduce MaximusXXX's error and the game now desyncs for me, too. Probably because of the Mantis fix.
However, while testing just now, I found new problems:

Game: #15195914
Timestamp: 20:00
Issue: UEF T1 Attack Bomber seems to do very little damage

Game: #15195914
Timestamp: 28:00
Issue: Cybran T2 Naval Support Factory auto-repairs VERY quickly

Log isn't much help, as I didn't have debug enabled. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Issue: UEF T1 Attack Bomber seems to do very little damage

This is a known issue, it has to do with a change unrelated to performance. The Janus is hit hard too by that same change. Keyser is going to look at it this weekend.

Game: #15195914
Timestamp: 28:00
Issue: Cybran T2 Naval Support Factory auto-repairs VERY quickly

I'll look at it - thanks for reporting it.

Hello Jip, thank you very much for your work in the forum and the game. Thanks also to the team. I think it's great how the community helps with every question. That's what I wish for in every game.

Regarding the question, I have noticed a drop in performance in the game so far (1 - 2 players vs 4 AIs)

There is an issue with the current faf develop that was introduced yesterday. It causes a lot of warnings. It is fixed in about an hour ๐Ÿ™‚ .

@Saver it should be stable now again ๐Ÿ™‚ .

Ich hoffe der Bericht hilft evtl. fรผr den Patch.

Und nochmals vielen Dank fรผr eure Arbeit an dem Game.

Thank you for sharing it, this is a known issue and is being solved ๐Ÿ™‚ .

edit: it is the same issue described here:

And the source is found.

TOP und viel Erfolg.

@Jip In https://replay.faforever.com/15287785 , somebody said that the explosions from UEF T2 Destroyer shots looked like the ones from a battleship. Might apply to UEF T2 PD, too.

Yes - that is part of the change by @keyser if I am correct. It is intended, to give the unit more 'wow'.

I didn't change the explosion fx, just the decals

I'll look into that too tonight ๐Ÿ™‚ .

On another note: a milestone! The benchmark map that we'll use is made by Marlo and has recently been finished! You can find the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-F_-HXgO_M

The trailer was made on the regular branch. As you can see the game starts to stutter more and more as it continuous. Our job is done when we can record this trailer with no stutters at all.

Upcoming Sunday (yes - it got moved slightly) the new patch will be live! This means that we're merging the develop branch with the standard branch that everyone plays by default, including ladder.

Soon after new PRs will merge into the develop branch with more optimizations and features. You can read up about some of them in this post or by checking the pull requests on Github. Please keep playing the develop branch as it provides us with important feedback on whether the changes help and are appreciated in general. It is a solid approach to contributing to FAF while literally just playing the game and reporting back.

As an example, with thanks to @WhenDayBreaks and @snagglefox some critical errors were found and fixed, including a few that were present in the standard branch too. The ping-preventing code got re-implemented and is now the same as you had before, but without the ability to abuse it in the name of someone else as easily. I can keep going with examples - know that your feedback is appreciated and I hope you all keep them coming in the future.

And with the patch live we continue: debris is now significantly cheaper on the sim and available on FAF develop. Up to the degree that they have essentially no impact on it anymore! This should speed up the game during battles as that is when a lot of debris is made in general. See also this pull request for more information.

Overall - please keep playing FAF Develop as you have done previously. The input you provide is appreciated and is important to us and for us to make sure everything is stable.

Thanks to the whole team for all the work on this!
