update ogre 2.0 ?

[EnÐymion]

Will upgrade from ogro 2.0 to 2.1 to improve performance? I have the following hardware: i5 6600k 16 Gb Ram and 1080 IT video, if I play with all high I do not exceed 7 fps.

sorry for my english, I use google translator. greetings from Argentina! :D

it would, but would require rewriting half the games engine codes. it would take over a year to do that.

I'm shocked you have such poor performance. I use a seven year old 2600k - albeit at 4.4ghz - and a GTX 1070. I do use RAID0 SATA SSD's which mean my loading times aren't so bad.

I'm not checking my exact frame rate, but the gameplay is generally pretty smooth bar the usual dips when loading terrain.

Scoob.

Yeah, that is terrible for that setup. Are you running other programs, downloading/uploading, etc.? Kenshi can be somewhat heavy at times, but I've never dropped below a certain threshold, even on higher settings. I generally used a combination of mid-to-high, depending on how my tower wanted to play that certain day.

[it's a gabe]

Yeah, the game isn't perfectly optimized. We as players have to understand that and try and remain realistic. I have an i7, 16 GB of RAM, 1050 Ti, and I have some things on medium and most everything else pretty low as to keep performance stable. I also locked the FPS to 30 since the game seems to have trouble reaching 50 on my hardware. I only get dips to about 20 whenever I'm in or near a town.

Actually, I should check my settings more thoroughly. I'm sure there's more stuff I can lower to improve performance whilst keeping low-res shadows enabled.

playing in medium graphic quality around 30 to 52 fps, in load screens it does not take long because I have a ssd

it's a problem of optimization, the CPU barely reaches 70% and only uses something of 2 gb of ram of my 16. That's why I was asking if they were going to upgrade to ogre 2.1 which supports multi-threaded. It seems that this will not be so, unless the game is very successful (I hope so)

That's plenty to play the game, really. I would stick with medium if that's the FPS range you are getting after the change. Even with an expensive setup (like mine) and lowest settings, you'll never get a constant 60, due to the engine and data being calculated across the map.

Even though you can't see what is happening at one end of the map, squads are still patrolling, shops being used, and so on.

Kenshi is already successful, but I doubt they would spend a year rewriting the entire original code, when they have other games to create. Just for an FPS boost. It's wasted time, if you think about it, considering the amount of working hours it would take to complete. That's a year which could be spent on a new IP, or much needed time off to spend with families and whatever lol.

i have a suspicion that it's probably your CPU, i have the same specs except for the CPU, i am on a AMD 8350 4.0 ghz and i am almost always very smoothly running with the exception of the loading new areas

i have the same cpu and excellent performance... it's prolly something on his machine that's wrong

[jwarper]

Your system specs are fine. It is likely your Nvidia driver causing issues. Are you on the latest one? If so, downgrade to a previous version.

They already updated the engine once, the year+ it took resulted in the forums combusting.

I don't blame Chris for not wanting to go through that again. They can update to ogre 2.1 after release if need be. But for now Chris wants to release the game sometime before everyone dies of old age, 12+ years working on a single game (8 of those solo) is tough, even if its a passion project.

You are more than welcome to spend the next twelve years of your life working mostly solo on a project.

Oh what's that? You don't want to?

That's a poor excuse.

I ain't the one making a game here am I...
Now if I was I would make sure it doesn't run like a moldy potato.
