So I built a lot of kennels
-
@ZLO Thanks. Good to know. Video lags: disable rings. I think this also applies to a lot of SACUs, since they have a lot of different rings.
-
@Kilatamoro Wait. I don't think I had rings on. Whatever.

even build range rings were off?

@ZLO I turned off all rings. I hit F9 to see my max sim speed. When the launcher is full, and the drones are doing nothing, I have +11 max speed, when they start orbiting it and shooting their beams, it drops to +2, but I still get freezes. I think the slowdown is graphic. Maybe it is the beams or the construction bars on the drones.
I tested this with 300 fully upgraded kennels vs 400 hives. Hives don't give me this.

What are the specs of your PC?
-
7800x3d + rtx 4080 super
Range rings on, 300 kennels (600 drones), 1 paragon, 1 nuke (paused so that the drones bug out permanently assisting it):- Fully zoomed out 20km:
- drones building: sim time: ~3.5ms (+14 max); FPS: ~230
- drones paused: sim time: ~3.0ms (+15 max); FPS ~230
- drones selected + building: sim time: ~3.4ms (+14); FPS ~210
- drones selected + paused: sim time: ~3.0ms (+15); FPS: ~210
- Once I zoom in until the beams are visible (kennels are offscreen, only drones and nuke are on screen):
- drones building: sim time: ~3.8ms (+14 max); FPS: ~180
- drones paused: sim time: ~3.1ms (+15 max); FPS ~200
- drones selected + building: sim time: ~3.6ms (+14); FPS ~145
- drones selected + paused: sim time: ~3.0ms (+15); FPS: ~155
- Once I zoom in and the drones are now visible (use freecam to see the models pop in):
- drones building: sim time: ~24.1ms (+6 max); FPS: ~125
- drones paused: sim time: ~2.9ms (+15 max); FPS ~178
- drones selected + building: sim time: ~24.4ms (+6); FPS ~100
- drones selected + paused: sim time: ~3.0ms (+15); FPS: ~140
- Zooming in further just causes FPS to drop further down, especially with drones selected (120 fps with all the beams on, 14 with selection). Doing stuff from the console like hiding lifebars, hiding meshes, hiding fx, and changing fidelity does nothing to improve the sim speed.

And if I remove the build effects entirely
CreateBuildEffects = function() end,then the sim speed issue goes away entirely, 3.8ms while building and zoomed in. So it seems to be an efficiency issue with UEF build effects, and perhaps kennel drones could have their own special version just for lag reasons. -
I tried playing FAF on a laptop, and all was going well until I built too many Aoen workers and ordered them to assist stuff. I have a feeling that all engi building "rays" are too detailed. Maybe they should be optimized.
Yes, you are allowed to play on a laptop.
