horrific framerate
hey, so when starting in the prison start, i get near constant framerate drops. not for lack of a capable pc - ryzen 7 5800, 32gigs ddr4 ram, and even though my 1060 is a bit weak i doubt this is a gpu issue. i've tried dedicating 4gigs of ram to project zomboid, but it won't go above 1.2gigs. just laggy

Same problem with frames. When I uninstall this and superb survivors, my frames go back to normal.

Now I see why survivors were removed to begin with. Ryzen 2700x 32gb ram 2080S and having the same issue. Remove the mod, instant frame jump. Game's unplayable if there's more than five nearby.

Same... I am having pretty bad lag issues (often only 5 - 10 fps) when this mod enabled (Started playthrough at Muldraugh). I tried increasing the game's allotted RAM usage to 8GB but that did not help at all. Any tips? How do I go about decreasing the NPC spawn rate? My specs: RTX2060, Intel i7-9750H, 16GB RAM. Thanks

just when survivor is trying to open locked doors (trying again and again) these lags start, even if just one survivor doing it framerate becomes terrible. When you help him to open this door, framerate becomes ok.

I've heard through the grapevine that if you have survivor spawn rates set to high or more (or you are just very unlucky), sometimes a survivor will spawn stuck in an object. This causes a huge framerate drop.

If that isn't it, then it's the mod's optimisation, which you can't do anything about (for now).

Just out of curiosity, and wondering if other can chime in as well.
Has any turned off the "Survivors Auto Base Tasks" in the Super Survivors game option menu? I was experiencing some frame drop, but i think it's not just the frame drop but the game processing all the npcs task at the same time that may be causing the lag?
I turned it off and my base runs smoothly, but now i can't seem to turn it back on :C lol

This was an issue for me too and disabling that option pretty much makes the NPC's brain dead; they will only function if in a group.

Now overall this mod pretty much broke ever since the last update (Pretty much both Super and Subpar did) so only thing we can do is wait for a fix or a revamp.

After having hostile survivors that can break into my home and kill me with a lucky shotgun blast, playing with even super smart sprinters just isn't the same. There's no tension.

yeah, that's the downside of disabling the option.. it's either sacrifice playability for brain dead npc, or sacrifice functioning NPC for playability lol.

I just noticed, there was a pinned discussion by fox from july talking about this.

Just curious as to whether anyone's found a solution to the framerate/hitching issue.

Yes. uninstall this mod.
