Performance.

[Edmond]

Is the performance being worked on? The game is not too friendly with lo-spec'd PCs.

I did a bunch of benchmarks of this game with different computers and wrote a couple hundred words, it all ended up being long-winded useless fluff. Bottom line: The game is slightly CPU heavy and very GPU heavy when it shouldn't be either of those

Please look into optimising it, we'd all appreciate it :)




Just as a heads up for the commenters, please don't try to excuse the game's bad performance or say the game doesn't need to be optimised. Game optimisation is extremely important to people on lower-end systems, if time isn't taken to make a game run smoothly then it ends up being a big middle finger to anyone who can't spend hundreds to get a brand new gaming system

I understand why it wasn't optimised on launch, this isn't made by a AAA dev team, but I'm still asking Zeekerss to get around to it someday. Stuff like this means the world to me and a ton of other people, it's often the difference between being able to or not being able to enjoy a good game. Thanks for understanding


(Edit - 26/02/2023) I should mention that optimisation is important for everyone, not just craptop users. For mid-range users it means enjoying the game without the fans screaming your soul out trying to keep your PC from exploding. For high-end users it means you're able to run it with absolutely 0 worries. Having to deal with frame dips in the funny spaceman game when you're running a 3070 feels embarrassing

Unity games tend to just be awfully optimized it seems, I don't think I know of any unity games that made a strong enough effort on optimization.

Not excusing it I just think it is weird it is always that engine.

Nah, plenty of unity games have great optimisation. Unity gets a bad rap since the less optimised titles are more obviously made in Unity, the question of what engine a game's running on doesn't come up much if it's running smoothly. Don't forget that the engine has a big presence in the mobile game scene.

I tried the HDLethalCompany mod, disabled every single effect possible, lowered the resolution, closed everything in background, gave it a high priority in the task manager, the game looked like it was from 2000's but with 20 fps. It almost feels like its capped at that certain point, ive tried everything to optimize it, and nothing seemed to work really. I really like the game and im just not able to enjoy it like everybody else because i dont have a spare few hundreds in my pocket

its also being made by 1 dude and its on unity give the person a chance before you trash the game hes trying to make. im sure you mean well but tbh unity sucks and we all wish he used any other Source Engine besides unity but im sure this person making this game is in the same boat you at doesnt have good hardware and is doing there best with what they have and this is why people love dev like this it means everything to us.

im not a fanboy just like indie devs like this. this person will do great things and im sure hes going to make a second game but ten times better next time and ill be there to support them. unless this turns out to be a cash grab then uninstall i shall just like the other 200+ games i have uninstalled ;)

Im aware that the game is created by one person, and im not trying to trash the game, im just stating that it runs poorly for the graphics it has. but i guess that just is geniunely a unity engine issue. tho i did see some well optimized unity games

faceplam what Graphics?

also no ♥♥♥♥ those games are better optimized they have bigger teams and more exp dealing with that trash of a Engine.

if you disabled every single effect possible with the graphics mod the game has, the game looks like its from the half life era

Well that didn't help at all

[It's Chase]

I don't know. My friend is running this on an old 4th Gen i7 and GTX 960 and it runs fine for him. Seems to be well optimized.
