Fixed [PSA] [Indev 0.54.1] Heavy Frame Rate Drop in Intense Areas

[jianmingyong]

Describe the bug you experienced here.

What I expected to happen:
Smooth game that doesn't lag.

What actually happened:
The game lags till the point where you can get 0 FPS.

As long as the map have offset maps, after a few wild battle will cause major lag to your game.

Areas to avoid:
Underwater Cave
Island 6
Route 47
Saffron City

Ways to fix temporary:
1. Turn off offset map in the settings.
2. Avoid entering battles in intensive areas.

Alternatively you may try XNA version if it improves the FPS on your pc. XNA uses a similar code base of MonoGame so there are some mini differences between the map files and assets for optimization purpose.

Which city/forest in particular are you having trouble with?

Have you tried the following:

• View Bobbling -> Off
• Field of View -> 45
• Render Distance -> Tiny
• Offset map quality -> Off
• Graphics -> Fast
• Multi Sampling -> Off
• 3D Models -> Off
• Animations -> Off
• Lighting -> Off (Press F4 in-game)
• Ensure none of the debug windows are open (Press F3 in-game)

EDIT: We are aware of this problem. For now, you can minimize the problem by following the steps above.

Players may want to use this workaround until a viable fix is available:
1. Grab a Max Repel.
2. Use it on demanding map.
3. Avoid wild encounter.

Describe the bug you experienced here.

What I expected to happen:
Smooth game that doesn't lag.

What actually happened:
The game lags terribly after the second wild encounter. You are unable to avoid the lag after this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play Indev 0.54
2. Enter a demanding map, such as Underwater Cave, route 47.
3. Get some wild encounter.
4. Watch your FPS counter. (F3)

Players may want to use this workaround until a viable fix is available:
1. Grab a Max Repel.
2. Use it on demanding map.
3. Avoid wild encounter.

Have fun.

Thanks for the work
I point out some bugs to improve the game:
- I can not choose pokemon in Diglet's Cave when one weakens
-the game closes on an Island of Six Island (the one to the right of the center of Pokemon
Thank you very much for continuing the project.

I haven't played this game in almost 2 years. Since then I have gotten a better graphics card, better CPU, and more RAM, so imagine my surprise when I come back and the game isn't running as smooth as I remember it. I thought I could turn everything with my specs: GTX 750 TI, i5-2400, 8GB RAM, nope some areas were very intense with frame drops

Are you using the lowest graphical settings?

Do you get zero FPS? Or just low FPS? Some screenshots while showing the F3 screen would help.

it does help significantly to turn offset map quality off

Yes, those currently seem to be a large source of frame drops; we're looking into it.
In the meantime, keep them off or at a very low number like 1.
