Hi there,
With the latest update I experience a significant FPS drop.
Mod Version: 0.2.1.6
Game version 1.6
American Truck Simulator
Previous version:
Highway, middle of nowhere, outside cab view, no other players in range: 30-40 FPS. with other players, 25-35 FPS
City, outside cab view, no other players in range, 20-30 fps. with other players: 15-20 FPS
I understand that MP has some FPS drop compared to single player. But with the current version:
Highway, middle of nowhere, outside cab view, no other players in range: 20-30 FPS for a few minutes then drops to 5-8 fps. With other players: Unknown.
City, outside cab view, no other players in range: 15-20 FPS. after a few minutes 0-3 fps.
I have checked all the necessary software and made sure everything is up to date. Drivers same story, No difference.
I've even attempted a defrag after the update, even tho single player without traffic doesn't show same symptoms, no dice.
Also attempted a clean, fresh profile. Same problem.
Fired all hired drivers. Problem persists.
I'm out of options, anyone any idea's? Or should this go in the BUG section?
UPDATE #1:
As said previously to @BaldemarDeutsch I have looked at the multiplayer settings and nothing has changed.
I did manage to isolate the FPS to a very specific area in the game, which indicates something is off around there but I do not know what. It surprises me that the problem doesn't present itself in single player but only multiplayer. The area in question, from Phoenix to LA, on the I10 between exit Ehrenberg and the Gas Station, 2 exits east. Thats where I experience these very significant fps drops.
Scratch that, it happens at intervals.
Again, Hardware didn't change, previous version did NOT give me these problems and neither game nor mp client settings have changed between versions, only difference is that under the new version I have fired all hired drivers in an attempt to solve this myself. Sadly to no success.
