przyg Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Hey! I'm a new Vintage Story player. I have some performance issues. Game work often normally, sometimes my fps drops for no reason. I've got a computer that meets requirements: Optimum Setup (60+ fps on high and very high graphics quality settings, heavily modded). The performance issues occurs when: 1. I will move about 800 squares away from the spawn (Restart of the game will help for about 3 minutes) 2. In very rare cases it occurs randomly no matter where I am (Restart will not always help) Can someone help me with this performance issues?

Streetwind Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Issues and solutions are strongly specific to individual hardware, so we need more details than "system meets highest system recommendations". Same goes for your issue itself. What performance issue are you encountering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fps can also drop when i get far from the spawn (About 800 blocks) Edited April 3 by przyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiomcritter Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 what OS is being run? Also, laptops can impose throttling when things get hot, wonder what the demand (heat generated) when running VS "60+ fps on high and very high graphics quality settings, heavily modded" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
przyg Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 I'm using Windows 11. My laptop dont get super hot when i'm playing games (max 84°C from my observations). I dont have much mods i have only one but the issues is even when i dont install any mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Hmm. 800 blocks is not very far. To check whether its a throttling issue, turn graphics down to low for a while and see. You can also try pulling view distance down. You have plenty of free space on the drive? Your user directory is on the SSD, too? Your antivirus isn't trying to scan things as they are written? One of my machines is very similar to that, though it is a desktop, and it runs well on High. 1024 view distance, so I think it's probably not that. My laptop is much higher end, and it struggles from time to time, my guess is as the GPU overheats. Never really cared that much, because I prefer to play on my desktop with much bigger monitor.

przyg Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 I will try to turn graphic settings down. I have a lot of space on drive. Vintage story is installed on ssd. I dont use any anti virus, i use windows defender because it is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Doesn't Windows Defender scan the data that programs are trying to write to the SSD? Or have you set an exception? Yeah, you had said VS was installed on the SSD. It just was not clear whether your user directory is also there. If you didn't change it, likely it is, but I have seen laptops where that was not how it was set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
przyg Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) Lowering graphic setting make my performance worse. it drops to 10-14 fps. Very high settings make it better. Performance raises to about 28-32 fps. Ultra high setting lowers the fps to about the same as Medium, Low, Very low etc. But even if i have Very high settings it's still hard to explore world in any way. I will try to disabling win def. My vintage story directory is: C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData Edited April 3 by przyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Sorry. Got nothing more to suggest. Most of the guys who could probably answer this hang out on the Discord. Have you checked there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idiomcritter Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Hope discord can help, saw the following when googling throttling... I've not used the following, but this seems to address how to know if the gpu is reaching its ideal performance. The vid talks about heading over to notebookcheck website to gain the reference numbers on the graphics card and then use MSI Afterburner to compare actual numbers reached on the laptop, compared the reference numbers belonging to the graphics card vid on checking laptop performance against referenced baseline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
