Framerate. Fix it Developer.

[Interknet]

As soon as I got the first armour upgrade in the game, it lags every time you touch a zombie. Drops to 28 fps.

I get 60fps until that armour issue.

Hello,

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing a frame-rate drop. Have you been seeing this with every vehicle when purchasing the Armor Upgrade, or just for the first vehicle?

I was wondering if you could let me know your system specs so we can investigate this further? (Feel free to reply here, or email us at contact[at]notdoppler.com)

I get it for the first vehicle so far. Haven't progressed enough to try others.

It only happened with the armor upgrade, and seems to only happen when hitting a zombie. I get 60fps until I hit a zombie on my laptop with a Z3735F CPU. It's not a demanding game at all, so it makes no sense to me why it drops so hard from that. All I can guess is the blood particles created from hitting a zombie are too high-res?

I'd try it on my PC but I generally bought it to play in summer when it gets too hot in my room for the more demanding games.

Hello,

Thank you for the information. We are investigating this issue further. We haven't had any other reports of this so far, but I believe it is likely the blood particles which is causing this issue for you.

Currently, there is no way to turn off the blood inside the game, however there is a slight workaround you can do:
1. Navigate to the game's local files on your computer. (You can find this, by right-clicking "Earn to Die 2" in your Steam Library, then clicking "Properties", then "Local Files", and finally clicking "Browse Local Files")
2. Locate a file called "app.icf", and open it in a text editing software such as Notepad.
3. Finally, add the following two lines to the bottom of the file, and press Save.

[EarnToDie]
BloodEnabled=0


I was wondering if you could try this and let me know if it solves the problem for you?

That did work, though I think there's a better option.
I changed

[GX]
VertCacheSize=8192
to
VertCacheSize=1192

Allows blood to remain on and keeps at 60 fps.

Can confirm chaning VertCacheSize to lower value like 1024, make FPS stable
