Xp pickups lagging the game?

[Sekru]

Could we get an option to turn off the xp orb visibility or something. On the higher difficulties the game simply spawns far too much for the game to keep up with.
Even with an incredibly beefy pc(RTX 4070 and an I5-1200F, 32gb of RAM) and all weapon effects and graphics set to lowest, the game just becomes completely unplayable to the point where I haven't been able to finish the last two runs (Had to just shut the game off via task manager.).
Game dropping down to 1 fps and simply freezing.
In fact, after checking, even when chugging, the game is never using more than maybe 24% of my CPU and GPU resources.

Edit: Actually upon further experimentation, it seems like the grenade powerups also speed the game back up. A possible memory leak issue with enemies not getting deleted unless a grenade etc. is triggered?

Came here to see if anyone else noticed this. On 40+ it really starts grinding to a halt unless I pop a grenade.

Forced Suicide on two endless runs because of this

Yeah, this would be great. I also just had to suicide a run thanks to xp lagging the game. My laptop is pretty crap so I had just assumed that was the issue but if you're lagging even with those specs it does sound like something needs fixing.

In the same boat lol. Just watching my screen barely move, probably gonna have to pull the same move which is a shame cause I wanted to go for a high score one time.

What Mortality did you get to? Anything else you can tell me about your run?

Hell I'm still in it, I stepped away from my computer because it was taking forever but I still want to see how far I can get. I've paused the run so I can give you any information you want. I'll check this thread from time to time, let me know what I can give.

Here's a screenshot with some info. First time linking one in a steam discussion, so let me know if you can't see it.

Have you tried enabling lowspec mode and late game instant XP in the settings?

I tried low spec mode but actually didn't see the late game instant XP setting! That should fix it, it's definitely tied to XP far as my untrained eye can see. The game practically freezes once a magnet effect occurs haha.

Thanks for the help, and love the game!

No problem! Did that help with your game?

I'll add to the post. It used to be caused by exp a ton more before but now less with the help of the canister and the overall higher value set on the exp cluster.
But i think the exp still cause some minor performance issue but not as much as it used to. At high mortality i think the high horde count, all the weapons effect (explosion, status and so on) start to ramp up and add up to the exp performance issue.

It was worse before the exp change for me, i used to have fps drop early into overdrive (not even after 2nd boss) but now the game run without hitch up until high mortalit. At least i can safely go to 80 mortality before slowdown on default difficulty, i need to test on overdrive 5.

After the change to exp, i tried another high mortality run for the daily and i reached roughly 80 mortatility before it start to severly slow down and 85+ being just very slow (i pmuch just afked till 93 and called it there xD). At this point i think i was bouncing between 800 to 1.5k entities active but even with all the low spec option i could pick/disable at that point it was running internally at 8 to 12 fps or something.

To be fair, 80 Mortality is ridiculous. I think it'd impressive the game runs that good at that point. 😹

Hi, I finally tried another long run and can report back saying it 100% helps. Instant XP does wonders.

I'm at 75 mortality and still going while averaging 45 FPS still without any massive slow down that occurred and lasted for some time when I gathered EXP.
