Performance Issues

Postby base4 » Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:57 pm

Let me be clear here: My computer? Not the best. Could be better. However, I still have some quite concerning... Concerns, about performance in-game.

The most prominent issue I'm having is with large, open spaces. Looking in the direction of a large amount of distant rock formations, not-so-distant structures, or even at walls with things behind them drops my frame rate by an excess of 20 FPS.

So I was forced to turn off a large number of settings to achieve optimal performance. The biggest culprits are Ambient Occlusion and Shadows, which, even though I did not state it above, are generally disabled for me, and if enabled, cause FPS drops of well over 25.

I can live without these two options for now, but I do implore the Monomi Park team to work on improving game performance (especially involving large open areas or expansive rock formations!).

And one more thing: if I turn Models and Textures to High, and set everything else to its lowest, the game runs very smoothly. Just wanted to mention that I can still run the game just fine; its just that certain options and situations are very performance-consuming.
Slime Ranch? More like RANCH DRESSING, am I right!?

And my theory on the Ancient Ruins: What are the Ancient Ruins?

:( I am on the very lowest settings for this game, and I get low FPS if there are lots of Slimes (esp in the Ancient Ruins area) and TARR. I had to up my settings to get phase lemons to show on the trees (though this does not seem to be an issue for the one I planted on my ranch) in the Ancient Ruins area. :| If the devs add more graphics or whatever, I may not be able to play this game :(

That's quite the pickle...

A personal message to the company:
Monomi Park, if people buy your game, they expect to be able to play it. Please work on performance so that you can expand your audience and keep people playing. I don't have money to buy anything new, so I seriously hope I don't have to start dissing the game as performance decreases from additional content in the future.

Let's hope they get on top of this soon.
