Random Freezes/Lag
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:14 pm
So I just got to say that GZDoom V4.4.2 has fixed alot and I do mean alot of FPS issues in certain circumstances I was having when using GZDoom V1.8.2 (in the past) and then Zandronum 3.0 (also now in the past since converting to GZDoom V4.4.2). I was using OpenGL back then which I guess just wasn't good enough because I had alot and I do mean alot of FPS issues in GZDoom V1.8.2 and Zandronum 3.0. Especially with lots of explosions, lots of fire, lots of blood and guts, big maps, and lots of demons. Well now since converting over to GZDoom V4.4.2 using Vulkan I still have occasional issues with lots of explosions, lots of fire, blood and guts have improved with occasional issues with lots, big maps vary, lots of demons. I mean I'm just saying I have seen big improvements in most of all that with Vulkan then I did OpenGL, but there's still a few hiccups. I did notice someone else mention occasional screen freezes or lag with Vulkan which I to am experiencing like when you first start the game you may see a huge random drop in FPS then it goes back to normal then a few minute later it does it again then after that it seems like it fades away. I'm assuming it's loading textures or it's a bug when using Vulkan, but it is annoying when it does it. It does it every time I go out of GZDoom 4.4.2 and go back in even when loading a game it will do it or start a new game. Anyway I can deal with the FPS drops on the other stuff, but the sudden drops like freezes or lag needs to be addressed. Anyway if it helps I'm posting my system specs here so you know what I'm working with and what I'm dealing with. Hopefully some of these issues can be address in future version? O and I'm just using standard Brutal Doom V21 nothing else.
