Futuza Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Restarting my PC whenever the FPS gets bad returns it completely to the normal 120-125, but I still am getting these spikes now and then. It is strange. Almost sounds like a memory leak, but with your OS or something odd like that.
+FRivan Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 I thought that. Then again, Windows 8.1 is horrible in so many ways. Usually my response is why am I running 8? Because it is 8.1, a odd number. I just had to try it out. I had none of these problems with 7, so could it be? *Light just went off*
Xycaleth Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I don't have any problems with running OpenJK under Windows 8.1. Can you take a screenshot of Task Manager when you start getting dips again? You should notice the CPU usage drops every now and then...
+FRivan Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 http://prntscr.com/478xag Well, the CPU usage was at 25%. It just dipped down to that real quick before coming up. The memory went all the way to 600MB at one time as well.CPU goes from 14 to 25 and higher. Memory increases as well.
Apprentice Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It could be a driver related issue/mismatch within Windows 8.1. Did you check out the site of Intel to see if there are updated drivers your your GFX chip ??
+FRivan Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 It should be completely updated. I do remember doing the driver update.
Xycaleth Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Possibly a bit late, but if your FPS dropped when there were a lot of effects on-screen (including saber sparks), then I've just fixed these problems in my latest commit. well_thats_it and Circa like this
well_thats_it Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 then I've just fixed these problems in my latest commit.It seems better for me after update version, thank you.
Circa Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Possibly a bit late, but if your FPS dropped when there were a lot of effects on-screen (including saber sparks), then I've just fixed these problems in my latest commit.Was that client side only or also server side?
Xycaleth Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Only client side! It's a problem in the .exe so it will give improvements for any mod Circa likes this
hleV Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I get terrible framerate when recording OpenJK JKA at 1080p using any recording software. Any idea why is that? It's fine on non-OpenJK JKA (both SP and MP). I also see way worse performance in general when using OpenJK.
Xycaleth Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I get terrible framerate when recording OpenJK JKA at 1080p using any recording software. Any idea why is that? It's fine on non-OpenJK JKA (both SP and MP). I also see way worse performance in general when using OpenJK.Sounds bad :/ Do you have a specific example where you were recording at 1080p? e.g. which recording software, what were your graphics settings, what operating system were you running. And when you say 'worse performance in general', are you referring to just FPS or something else? You could try setting com_affinity to -1. That should allow the OS to run the JKA on any CPU core rather than restricting it to a pre-selected core.
hleV Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I'm really confused. Interestingly, the first time I tried to record JKA using OpenJK, the FPS was fine. Then I believe I forced AA via AMD control panel. FPS gone bad. I un-forced AA (completely deleted openjk_sp.x86.exe entry from AMD CP) and things still were bad. Restarted PC - same shit. It cannot be related to AA thing because the issue happens with both SP and MP, and openjk.x86.exe was not touched as far as AMD CP is concerned.Today at first the FPS was fine again, but then I restarted the game and it became shitty. What the fuck... This is with any settings, in the main menu or during missions/MP. Tried Fraps, MSI Afterburner, Game Booster, D3DGear. Right now when I reset the config and the game goes into 800x600 windowed mode, the recording FPS is fine. But once I do r_mode -1 r_customwidth 1920 r_customheight 1080and restart the game it goes shitty all over again. In fact, r_mode -1 alone is enough. com_affinity -1 doesn't help. EDIT: I launched MP, FPS was bad. I launched SP - suddenly the FPS is fine again.
Xycaleth Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Are you using the latest build of OpenJK from http://builds.openjk.org?
Sephiroth Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Right now when I reset the config and the game goes into 800x600 windowed mode, the recording FPS is fine.

EDIT: I launched MP, FPS was bad. I launched SP - suddenly the FPS is fine again.I don't record stuff but, I do the same process every time I start up JKA. With the newest, JA++ and OpenJK, I'm having serious and unplayable FPS issues after I do those commands along with vid_restart. Are there others with this issue? Also, where else should I post this problem other than here? Smoo likes this
ensiform Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Perhaps your specs don't run so well at those resolutions? This sounds more like hardware or driver issues than anything.
Smoo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 And make sure r_dynamicglow is off and /snaps is on 40
ensiform Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 OpenJK does have some settings defaulted higher because you know, its not 2003 anymore. Tempust85 and Smoo like this
Raz0r Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Just in case they're not using openjkIn the OpenJK forum, when they said they're using OpenJK? =p
Highpowerd Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 @ post #39 & #42 (because I can't seem to quote anything here...) Similar issue, and attempts to fix the issue, here (although I didn't try SP). Except I have an Nvidia card. This has been the behavior with the most recent builds of openjk (either compiled myself, or from the builds.openjk.org page), or ever since the sdl2.dll is required in the gamedata folder. Any older builds work fine, latest ones though only give like 1-2 fps every OTHER second, and even a basic map like ffa3 takes minutes to load (normally I can load a huge map like Atlantica in under 20 seconds, and even on a map like that the fps would rarely go under the 125 cap...). Removing the Openjk folder from "Documents" and having everything reset didn't really work either, at least once I put in the custom resolution again (although at 800x600 the game was pretty much frozen saying "connection interrupted"...). This is on a win 8.1 64 bit machine as well, and never had any issues with openjk b4. Not really sure what's wrong now.
Xycaleth Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 What happens if you enter /com_affinity -1 in the console?
