DRS: Gutted

[haverfordwest]

Since the scenery update, i can no longer play DRS. At anything but a slide show. Taff Vale used to be a reasonable 30fps, with slight dips in big scenery areas.

Now i am lucky to get 10 - 18 fps overall. Weird because the same Unity game engine in SimRail. Runs fine with high settings, anything around 30fps to 45fps depending on scenery.

Oh yes i can turn off the grass, turn off all the bells and whistles and run at very low settings.

But that is no fun, really gutted at the moment. Always hoped DRS would be my main train game, in the long run.

Mike, have you advised the dev?

[haverfordwest]

Yes Bruce i told him on Steam, buddy.

Hopefully he will be able to have a look at what is causing the problem and fix it. He seems to be a pretty approachable bloke.

[haverfordwest]

Yeah he is a top bloke, Bruce. Amazing he has created most of DRS single handed.

My pc is not the best, i know. But it was a bit of a shock, how much the new scenery. Dragged me into the stone age, in pc terms

That's a bit of bad news, though must admit I haven't touched it for ages. However I got the feeling from "the Bus" that Unity might not be the most efficient graphics engine especially when you start adding to it or increasing scenery complexity. Will be interesting to see what happens with Derail Valley when they launch their rejigged "Simulator" update later in the year as that's also built on Unity.

Like you Mike I'm running a bit of an old potato here, been upgraded as far as it can go CPU and GPU. Might have to bite the bullet later in the year and go for a new box, though getting £1200 authorised by SWMBO is the main challenge (new 65" HD TV for you, dear??!).
