Custom maps always lag

[Primevci]

I don't know what it is but custom maps always run like crap on my computer I play goldcrest valley and get a solid 60fps I load countyline or any other custom map I'm luck to reach 45fps many times hitting 20 is this just normal or is there certain custom maps I should stay a at from?

i dont have that issue on most, but some are heavy yes.

High detail mod maps will do that depending on your specs but some are just badly optimized,BallyDorn farm had drops too 35fps for me with a i7 4790 and GTX 1080,countyline is a large map with quite a lot of detail try sticking too smaller more basic looking maps and lowering your settings if your pc is struggling

I'm currently playing countryline on high+ settings ( can play the normal game maps on nearly ultra, and i have a high/ mid range system ). You really need to adjust the individual settings in the graphic options i find ( foliage view range seemed to have a big effect on performance with my system ) .
As father ted says, it also depends on your system ( you can run detailed maps on a " toaster " ) . He's also correct about some maps being poorly optimized. Some poorly made buildings can cause large FPS drops with my system.

If you have more than 1 custom map in your mods folder, that can be an issue.

It happens the same to me and I have a good spec computer.

When I play Goldcrest valley is always stable 60fps but nonetheless when I play big custom maps my rate drops to 30-50fps specially when driving with the interior camera.

Also, as they say, I notice the fps drops when your are facing or close to a more "basic" mod building not as detalied as a vanilla one can be.


And by the way I have several custom maps in the same folder

since FS17, it's no longer the problem having more maps in the folder, but it's highly recommended to activate only the ONE you are playing on.

what Father Ted sais is right, it's mainly a problem with the optimization.

interesting Viktor's perception, but it's not the grade of detailedness, wich has the opposide effect. more details - less performance.
but those bloke looking cheap-mods buildings are often pooly optimized and may have hidden polygons, unused meshes and such.
and not least, each loads its own texture set. on highly optimized maps you use only one or few texture sets for all the buildings on the maps.
I just can shake my head when I see maps with low-poly buildings with low density textures like ripped from a 1996 shooter, and behind the next field he uses a thousands-poly dirtroad just because he found the prefab...
