Game stutters / lags alot
« on: June 26, 2012, 11:19 »
Hi,

the game stutters alot soon after i´m into a level. Let´s say i can move three squares, then the movement to the next one is delayed. And that over and over again through all the game.

My PC:
4GB DDR2 RAM
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Gigabyte (dont know the type) with onboard graphics
...


So is my hardware to weak? Where can i find a solution? Are there any out?


EDIT: With the task manager in the backroung i noticed a good CPU usage mostly over 50-70%. So is DoomRL CPU hungry?

I never had any issues like that, with half your RAM and a weaker processor, but the graphics mode in particular is very CPU-hungry, yes.

Does it run better for you in the console (text-based) mode, or does it have the same problem there? And what operating system are you on?

I'm suffering from the same issue from time to time, but only very incidentally. IIRC, it's actually gone once a new level is loaded.

Well, I'm going to assume that you mean that the graphical version is CPU hungry. It's more cpu-intensive than the ascii version, to be sure. My laptop lags on it, but then it's a Turion 64 x2 processor, and 2gb of ddr2 ram. My gaming rig smashes through it, since it's got a Intel 3960X 6core/12thread processor clocked at 5Ghz, with 32GB of DDR3 at 2600 Mhz. I'm at work now, so I'll benchmark it on my gaming rig when I get home.

Alright, my framerate at the menu is 2500-2600FPS, and in game I get an average of 1000FPS, with occasional drops to 850FPS, and bumps up to 1200FPS. DoomRL is loaded onto my solid-state drives.

I'll re-bench this a bit later once my new GPUs get in, I'm picking up a Tri-Sli set of MSI GTX 680 Lightnings

My current system:

CPU
Intel 3960X @ 5Ghz (6cores, 12threads)

RAM
32GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2133 @ 2600

Cooling
Custom water loop

Case
Caselabs TX10-D

Other
Bigfoot Killer 2100 NIC
   
Motherboard
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme

Hard Drive
2x 120GB Corsair Force GT SSD RAID 0 + Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

Monitor
Samsung S27A950D

Mouse Pad
12" square brushed steel plate
   
Graphics
2x Radeon 6950 flashed to 6970

Optical Drive
random asus drive

Power
1000W Cooler Master Silent Pro psu

Audio
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Professional -> Schiit Asgard amp -> Ultrasone HFI-2400 headphones

Hmm, 2Dev. I'm afraid your rig will need an update to run DoomRL 2 smoothly :/.

Console Mode? Graphics version IS the new console mode right?
DoomRL 2 will feature 3D Isometric as the experimental alternative!

I hope it will support true 3d monitors, since I won't settle for anything less.
