Major lag in cherno and electro fixed

[Achmed]

For a long time people have been complaining to me about lag in the 2 major citys. It got to the point where a lot of people would not go into either cherno or electro because of the lag

 

After doing a bit of testing it turns out the problem is the huge cargo ship thats in the port.

 

to remove it open the mission.sqf file and remove

_vehicle_379 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
  _this = createVehicle ["sigisolda6", [10158.258, 1686.7931, 0.0062988698], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _vehicle_379 = _this;
  _this setDir -80.566795;
  _this setVehicleArmor 0.44294706;
  _this setVehicleLock "LOCKED";
  _this setPos [10158.258, 1686.7931, 0.0062988698];
};

After i did this im getting no FPS issued at all in cherno or electro

If i removed that, would my server still be considered vanilla though, I don't really want to lose my vanilla status in a way.. because I'm holding out on people with the SBB and towing at this point because I'd rather stay vanilla

[Achmed]

not sure on that, have to wait to hear from the admin however as all it does it make lag i dont see it being a problem.

[Sequisha]

By all means, as it's only an aesthetic and all reasonable performance adjustments that don't affect game-play in a negative way are welcome.  Only Awol can say for sure, but I imagine he would agree.

[Bags2247]

Thnx for at least some sort of idea about it mate...

[MGT]

Running this now on our test server which is a clone of main server, 65-100 fps in Elektro now, only me on, but over 7500 items in object data in game (fps top right)

 

[Bags2247]

OK so I'm having a look at my mission.sqf and its not there.. did a search for _vehicle_379   not found, searched for sigsolda6 not found..

 

 

will post my mission.sqf

just realised that I haven't got any dropbox or github set-up so have posted the file here

creating a dropbox account now

 

I am on 1.0.2.2 with axle's 1.0 trader updates..

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9eygafd6txjrc2f/mission-1.sqf

 

 

 

 

soz about that wall of text.. I have removed it now and used my dropbox link..

 

hope it works

[MGT]

Holy text Batman!

 

Some comments...

 

[2013-09-21 | 03:29:17]  RCon admin #0: (Global) [DB] anyone in Elektro or Cherno report if FPS are higher pls?
[2013-09-21 | 03:29:31]  (Side) SassyBLT: Much higher
[2013-09-21 | 03:29:40]  (Side) SassyBLT: At least in Ektro
[2013-09-21 | 03:29:40]  (Side) Oreh Eid: yarrr

Pastebin is your friend..

Sounds like an easy fix, if this is indeed the case we will certainly be removing it next patch.

[vbawol]

Bags2247, It looks like that boat is not a part of Axle's new design.

On ours which is full nearly 24/7 with a lot of database items, the improvement is amazing. I can't believe that destroyer caused so much fps lag!

 

I will christen her the HMS Framerate, may she sink :lol:

[Bags2247]

have dropbox now... shall fix it that way.. soz bout that guys

 

 

And cool about it not being part of the new fix stuff

[vbawol]

Confirmed as well as fixed for next release thanks to mathewjknott and everyone else for confirming the fix. Until next release use the fixed file found here:

Pretty crazy tbh, wonder why it was affecting both the coastal towns and wonder if its made FPS in other big town or if something else is causing drops?

 

 

 

09:20:46 | RCon admin #0: (Global) Anyone been to Elektro / Cherno? Does the FPS seem better?

09:20:53 | (Side) PopeOfPopes: its much better TJ

 

 

I will christen her the HMS Framerate, may she sink  :lol:

Hmm.. I don't have those lines in my mission.sqf. I even searched for "sigisolda6" but nothing. I'm using the mission.sqf with the new traders.

[Achmed]

The new traders dont have the ship in.

[neiljb]

Very nice. :)

 

Thanks a lot for finding/sharing this.

 

What about the container ship near kamenka, would removing this also make any difference?

[Achmed]

I dont have that one so cant say for sure. Chances are yes as they all cause loads of lag

[Armifer]

Yeah I did this several months ago, and added enable simulation false to all items that required it, which increased my serverload FPS nicely. I suggest you all do the same, just add an INIT line in each object to add the code. Wasn't sure if the cargo ship actually caused it but now its confirmed. Good to know.

enable simulation false to all items ??

 

Please show how this is done, 

[MGT]

I'm pretty sure Arma 1.62 disables simulation by default?

As I haven't seen the source .p3d for it, only thing I can imagine is the engine trying to create crude geometry from the visible resolution Lods.  All of the geometry requires closed components, if it did in fact have to resort to a resolution mesh...chances are the SOB leaked as far as she would render.

[Firefly]

Nice find, always wondered why it was choppy around there. Consider her sunk. 

[MadHatter05]

Tested on my server and found to work 1000000%.
