What kind of hardware are you running on? |
|
|
Windows 10 Video - Rx 580 8gb CPU - i5-8400 Ram - 16gb |
|
|
Other game with bad perfomance. Save/load is not helping. In 2-5 minutes i see 58 red % |
|
|
Other example. 8% perfomance. There is spawning Warden army. Lag will decreased, when all Warden units will on the planet. Its only one army, yes she is big, but thats not maximum. May be decrease cap for Human and AI or something? No idea. |

For that last one, it's missing the actual savegame file (just has the meta). Can you upload that as well? Thanks for posting your hardware stats, that's useful. On the current internal build, I'm seeing basically perfect performance on these, but I just made a pretty big set of changes that move some performance-heavy work out of the way of the main simulation. So I'm not sure how much of a bypass of the issue that is causing. The fact that this starts happening over time is the most concerning part. I am wondering if you've got exceptions happening on background threads, though, particularly because your AI was doing strange things. Can you upload your most recent ArcenDebugLog.txt from after the really slow one? The log from prior to that is clean, so that's probably not it, but it's worth a check. Thanks! |

|
Oh, i did not see this message. I added save and log. |
|
|
No problem. That's just the meta file again, though -- I do need the .save file. :) |
|
|
lol, he didnot want loading. |
|
|
Again cant |
|
|
He is just not loading with red line, so - https://dropmefiles.com/PWxo9 |

Thanks for uploading that! And wow, that's a terribly-performing savegame, heh. On the new version it performs even worse, now 10% when I load it and then up to 28% slowly. I will have to do something about the sheer volume of ships it has there, that's just too many for one planet. In AIWC it would combine ships into higher-mark versions and other tricks like that. I think I need to do something similar here. Frustrating, since all the other savegames perform extremely well now! |
|
|
Yes, and thats not maximum. Warden "Special Master" can showes more and more ships. |
|
|
Hmm, okay -- thanks for the note. |
|
|
Tryed one more time last replay with low 3% perfomance. A lot of better for me. Was 3%, but right now 40% perfomance and in a few seconds, it will 50, 55, 75 and 100%. Very good. |
|
|
Excellent!! For the one that is still very slow, I get 10% on it. It's because of all the riot control starships -- 60 of them!! There are 63 shield generators on a single planet at the moment in that savegame, whereas I had expected a maximum of maybe 5 at the outside. It is a special case I will be looking into more, but now at least I know what the issue is. If I turn off the shield protection logic, then in that savegame I get 75% performance. Still too degraded for my taste, but far better than before. |

FINALLY got this completely, thank you! * It is now possible for AI/NPC units/squads to be "stacked." ** A stack consists of 2+ identical units, with a little marker on them stating how many are in the stack. ** A stack is able to fire at up to 5x its normal attack power, depending on how many units are in the stack (1 unit in a stack = 2x, 5 units = 5x, 5+ is still 5x). ** A stack takes damage just as it would if it were not a stack. When the current item visible from the stack "dies," then the next item pops out and the stack count goes down by one. *** Damage does not roll over from one unit in the stack to the next, so this makes AOE weapons weaker against stacks, as well as weapons with a lot of overkill. ** If a tractor is grappling a stack, then each stacked entity counts as 1/4 of a tractor target for purposes of the grappling capacity of the tractor beam. *** This makes tractor beams substantially stronger against stacked enemies. ** The purpose of stacks is performance and visual decluttering. These keep the battles runnning quickly while still being large. *** Note that ONLY mobile ships/squads can stack. Turrets and whatnot do not stack. *** Stacks will typically only kick in when there are more than 50 of a single type of unit on a planet, owned by the same AI/NPC faction. *** However, there is a max_count_per_npc_faction_before_stack flag that can be assigned to entities to make them stack sooner. **** The various starships and guardians that have bubble forcefields now have a value of 3 for max_count_per_npc_faction_before_stack. ***** This keeps them from absolutely tanking performance if the AI somehow gets a hold of a ludicrous number of mobile shield generators on one planet, which has happened in the past. ** The stacking logic runs on a background thread on the game host only, and sends out orders across the network to cause units to stack when needed. ** It's worth noting that this also makes savegames WAY smaller during certain ginormo-battles. ** Additionally, when there are stacked units on a planet, and there are fewer than half the stacking cap, then stacks start being slowly split apart. *** That way you don't wind up with a single stack of 50 units as the last entity, it will spread back out, first to two stacks of 25, and so forth and so on. ** Also note that the combining into stacks is done by mark level, so if there are multiple mark levels at a single planet it will not mix and match and change the difficulty on you. ** Thanks to these changes, our test savegames where we had awful things like literally 10% sim speed and 50+ second targeting cycles now run at full speed within 30 seconds of loading, and have quarter-second targeting cycles as well. In the 10% performance savegame's case, it also reduced the savegame file size from 8.6MB to 1.6MB. |
