Framedrop while moving units
« on: April 11, 2016, 06:48:36 pm »
I'm playing the mod X-Piratez for the record.

Stable 60 fps is normal but when I move a unit it drops everytime to a lower (sometimes to 5) fps, when unit takes a step. Of course mainly when the screen is full of stuff like smokes. Sometimes without smokes but terror missions. Makes the game somewhat to a stop motion video. It is annoying because turns takes longer than they would.

playing on 1280x1024. Borderless and openxcom-filter. battlescape x1.5
What can I do?
I don't really want to change one of those option except the filter. I hoped using a filter with opengl would fix it, but no

The latest X-Piratez version has increased sight range to 25. This turned out to be a major albatross for the CPU and will be changed back to 20 in the next release.

You can quick fix this your self.   Search maxviexdistance in piratez.rul and change it to 20.
