Playing game guru games and getting 5-15 fps

[XJ9]

Srsly the game looks like donkey a55 at the same time its like in slow motion, i have 660 ti and i7, + i have that bug where everything milky white. 1st run of the game offers lower graphics due to low perfomance, and everything becomes colorful not white, with better fps, but when i go to menu and go back to game its lag AF and white again, and its not suggesting to lower the graphics, all i can is to restart the game completely.
Setting to minimum settings ingame doesnt change anything, instead of that popup message.
The developer is the new guy and he has no idea how to fix everything so it will run smooth.

Can you post here which settings the gameguru sets after asking you if you want to lower settings due to bad perfomance? Like bar positiions of shadow fov distance etc etc, if you can send a screenshot of those settings would be the best.

Hi XJ9
Are you running a laptop or desktop ?

If you run testgame and press "F11" it will tell you what card your machine is using and confirm its running on your 660 ... Some Laptops if thats what you have default to thier basic GPU

Secondly ...could you please verify your installation ..

Go to your steam library and right click on GameGuru...Select "properties" .....then select "local files" and finally "verify integrity of game cache"
See if that helps ..

Im running on desktop, i have no integrated video, i dont need confrmation that the only gpu is used DUH. I dont have the game guru installed, i have the game based on game guru, and my friend is developing this game, so we both trying to figure out how to make it lag less and delete the milky screen appearing every launch OR when you go to the steam overlay if it wasnt initialized.

" XJ9 : i dont need confrmation that the only gpu is used DUH. "

Well i only had half the info in your original post ... Desktop, Laptop, even the fact you werent running GameGuru ...Im no mind reader ..

If you are running the game via steam then the overlay has an issue and for the moment it recomended you ask steam to disable it for your game until its fixed ..

This is a shader issue that has not yet revealed itself

What about FPS issue, how to make settings low enough so it wont be 5 fps, which settings are more fps hungry? How the gameguru changes settings when suggest to lower the qualiity to improve perfomance? Asking because i use simple - LOW - settings ingame - it doesnt low them as much as when you get that message

Hello XJ9,

I checked your profile, i can see you are talking about the game "Slingshot people".

I suggest -

* Set the Enemies on spawn triggers.. So lets say when you walk through a certain door, then a few enemies will spawn near the windows in that room. Spawning them all at the start can really cause performance problems.

* Remove the physics from the objects in the distance the player wont be interacting with. IF you have no bounderies and the map is fully accessible when you climb out of a window. You could add invisible walls to limit the player movement, then allowing you to disable the physics of distant objects.

Also try to change animated objects that doesn't really need to be animated in normal objects. (Trees for example).

As said, if this is Slingshot People you are talking about, it's because you haven't optimized the game preoperly. There are waaay to many AI entities loaded at once, set them up to work in waves of 5 or 6 soldiers at a time and watch your FPS shoot up. It also doesn't lok like you have light mapped the game either, that will reduce your FPS.
