Fps drop after applause animation

[yarezz]

Hello, Manu! I noticed you about this problem some months ago, but I can't find any solution, only to decrease the number of spectators to the lowest possible (with no spectators court looks empty and depressive).

I played really comfortable (fps drops from 144 to 134), so I didn't notice the FPS drop until yesterday .

After applause animation fps drops from 144 to 80-90 (with 144hz looks terrible). Only solution now is to get spectators away and play without them.

This problem is definitely not on my computer as it occurred on two computers. I play on the highest graphics settings.

My current PC specs
Video: RTX 3070
CPU: INTEL I9-(idk the model exactly)
RAM 32GB
I use vertical sync 144fps

My last PC
Video: 1060 6gb
CPU: RYZEN 1600
RAM: 16GB
Screen refresh rate 60hz

Also I play with XKT Mod, maybe it's the mod problem.

Please, help me. I enjoyed your game and played 250+ hours already and want to play TE4 without any lags on such good system.

Crowd is still applauding on my service xd

Follow the instructions carefully : it's likely for XKT.ini & with the game closed.

With those specs it's a shame to turn off a feature that's part of the game.

@boterhammekes me choco,
the issue is more about the long applause sounds from the Mod. With the original game, they end quite fast.

Hi, the only fix for those fps drops it's turn off crowd animations? I would like to know if is going to be an update fixing that, i would like to use this feature without fps drops...i had a 4070 super so no gpu problems here...

@davicin3,
yes, it's expected to have a serious FPS drop in this case : the game needs to animate thousands of persons in the crowd when it applauses, and none when it doesn't applause, so it's a big difference in the required CPU & GPU workloads.

I could animate the crowd during the rallies so it's slower all the time, but I'm not sure it'd be a great solution... 😅

[davicin3]

Hahaha better keep it like is right now...
First of all thanks for your quick answer! So there is no solution for this thing? Maybe only animating the people who is near the court...making a 2d crowd...i dont know, i actually disabled the crowd animation and only drop from 144 to 137 fps before the serve...but you know the applause thing makes the game way alive than without it...

@davicin3,
I sent an answer to your Bug Report by email. I suggested you disable or lower the Far Crowd as an alternate solution. Depending on your camera settings, you might see none of them and thus it'd help to make the drop less important without missing crowd on screen.

Thanks man, you are great. Thanks for your work.
