Yazzafox

Thank you, I've just tried this. It has certainly helped the fps issue a lot! It's done some slight ugly things to my graphics and animations, but it's definitely a great fix! If anyone is having fps issues that are making Wurm unplayable, this is definitely worth a shot. Thank you Kyle! You guys rock. =)

After hours of looking through graphics settings, I've tried so many different combinations, including the smoke and flame particles being disabled, and nothing has made the slightest bit of difference. Disabled smoke and flame particle effects Reduced tree render distance Reduced distant land rendering Reduced creature render distance Reduced/disabled bumpmapped terrain Reduced/disabled tile transitions Reduced Structure Data render Reduced/disabled LoD Reduced/disabled Shadows Reduced/disabled terrain/shadow resolution I even meddled with animation quality, Texture scaling hint, and braved it into enabling contribution culling with my eyes closed and my fingers crossed. Absolutely none of this improved the fps when faced with a bunch of lit lamps/forges/ovens. And yes, it's only when they're lit. Even one forge lit on its own, drops the fps from 60+ down to 20's. So I have to ask, could it be something to do with the actual lighting effect? The glow around the object. Is there a way for me to find out, through the settings? I have render bloom ("glow") off, render sun glare is off, pretty weather is off, breathing is off.... To answer some questions I've already had in-game, my pc specs are below: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @2.66ghz 4gb ddr2 Ram ATI Radeon HD 4670 (1024mb)

There's no valentines roses anywhere on my deed. There are flowerbeds and a flowerpot, but no valentines roses.

So over the last few weeks, I've been noticing my usual 40-60 fps often dropping to 12-15 fps. I've tried meddling with graphics settings to see if it can be improved, and I've tried prodding at my pc with all sorts of programs, to resolve the issue, but nothing has worked. I have, however, started identifying certain conditions that causes this. I first caught onto it during Wurm daytime, when the fps spike seemed to leave completely. I was just starting to grin, when night came, and it all triggered off the poor fps again. So now I've been experimenting, and it feels to me like it's the flame animations on forges/ovens/lamps that is causing the issue. When they're snuffed out, things seem smoother. When I have my forge, oven and my 15+ lamps on at night, the fps can drop very, very badly. I haven't tested this theory in detail yet, but I'd really appreciate some support/feedback with this. I know several people who are having bad fps issues in their deeds too, and a fix would be really appreciated.

Could you please COD one to Yazzafox? =D
