Hi, it’s not possible to disable ragdolls.

Why do you want to do that?

While trying to look for items I have set the respawn rates extremely fast and after a while of combat the ragdolls/corpses start to effect gameplay and cause lag, then I have to reload the map which gets somewhat annoying. Is there at least a way to clear ragdolls/corpses? Thanks!

You have a reinforce parameter on the game settings. I think this is the ratio of the respawn enemies. To best farming reduce de IA to the lower settings and increase de ratio of reinforcements.

Yes this would help but I would still like to farm at a fast rate. Anyone have any ideas?

At our knowledge there is no option to set the corpses despawn timer.

Do you notice this lag issue with any kind of enemy? What’s your computer specs?

Can you try to disable the Ultra Violence setting to see if the game runs smoother?

Can you check if your graphic drivers are up to date?

[LaGGer]

Game runs fine normally playing, and I always keep my drivers up to date, they automatically update the day updates are released, but I lag after I have killed around 100 of them.

Ill try what you said with the Ultra Violence setting.

I have just had a try and I wasn’t able to duplicate the issue.

The max numbers of ragdolls at the same time are limited and playing in invasion shouldn’t change anything.

Do you experiment this on a map you did or on a map from the game? If it is from the game do you experiment the issue on any map or on a specific one?

Do you see the same with other characters than bandits?

Did you change anything in a config file or through a command line, like modifying the number of decals visible or something else?

[LaGGer]

This is playing on a map that my brother had made that is not yet finished.
I have not changed anything withen the config file or command line.

He probably forgot to limit number of bodies and drops.

Yes, I assume it begin to lag once there are too much ammo boxes dropped on the level.

Each ammo box is a physical object and it consumes some resources. So, you have to add an entity on the level to limit the number of ammo boxes.

Have a look on the game_weapon_manager entity. It is described on page 7 in the FGD guidelines.
