Performance inconsistent [merge pending]

3 votes

Hey,

I have very inconsistant performance. My map has a population of ~500 beavers and a huge dam and its very much unplayable on 2x or 3x speed. Today I even had issues in 1x speed with even less beavers. My system should not be the bottleneck. I get the worst FPS drops right after the beavers start to work (maybe work queue system oversaturated?), ofcurse during autosave and depending on beaver counts at 17:00 (when setting worktime to 18 hours).

If required I will gladly upload my savegame for you to test.

Not really sure what is inconsistent here, large amount of beavers stress CPU by personal calculations like pathfinding, which often splkes at the start and end of workday, but also depends on other factors. Some optimizations are planned, but no dates. But it's might stay a typical bottleneck of the game, even if for higher number of beavers.

That is the point, it is to be expected that larger populations have a performance impact but yesterday i had worse performance with 400 beavers than with 500 and i was running 1x speed instead of 2x. That is inconsistent und very much unexpected

Well, it still may happen. Ok, if performance difference is observed after reloading and restarting, please do submit save files with corresponding commentary, maybe devs can debug it.

hey, it has been some time since i have send you a save file per mail. Today I wanted to try timberborn again and the issues not only persists but got worse. What is the state of the performance issues?

I cannot upload the save here as it only allows images.

the devs have stated that while there is some tuning underway, there will be more to come. If you want to know the status of the game, please try the discord channel.
