Performance drops to a halt in the new patches

I noticed the game would run smoothly on older patches??? the game wasn't that slow it isn't choppy but it kinda goes like in slow motion or something and that's only on the first level! I didn't try the other levels with the new patch but oof why the performance drop!? (I am an old tester played the game before it released and playing at the lowest settings possible so don't tell me to check my settings)

There are more render settings, you should try them (fps, uncap, vsync)

I am playing at the lowest settings possible with each update ever since I got the game no vsync it's capped at 30 FPS and etc.

Have you checked if the values inside the "config.conf" file are set correctly? I'm playing the game with fps uncapped and vsync off and inside my config file the values look like this:

SETFRAMEMODE 999
SETFRAMEAUTO 0
VSYNC 0

If they are different change them to these and see if that has any positive effect on your end.

i literally have them as i said FPS capped at 30 auto framerate disabled and vsync off why do yall assume I am not playing at the lowest settings possible???

Developer(+1)

can you roughly tell me that at about which build things seem to get slow?
(in theory nothing changed that could cause this - but I should better take a look anyway 馃 )

you could say build 1931 (didn't test other newer builds before 1931) but i seriously don't know why the performance drops the game should work just fine??

edit: nvm turns out my laptop was overheating like shit I think I need a fan replacement

You're making it too easy for yourself. You want the dev to go through all the changes from the last few weeks and guess why one of them is slower for you and not for him?  This won't work, please see which is the first version you're having trouble with. It should be easy, going through the patches.

Developer(+1)

it's not that hard to go through them (I can just browse through my hg commit history)
but thing is I want to investigate any potential performance problem regardless (even false alarms)
(e.g. all through testing I thought the particles were optimised because their rendering was optimised
and turns out they were a cause of a  major performance drop because I forgot that some of them also check for collisions)

Developer(+1)

ok, let me know if you find out for sure

yes I can confirm it was a fan issue now sorry for all the troubles dude, also what's with ppl giving me that attitude feeling like I am doing my best to make someone suffer these days?? I am gonna try to uncover as much as I can from Zortch to make the best cheats guide possible lol so many test maps

Developer(+1)

take it easy dudes - after all it's just a game 馃槈

indeed - I still feel bad about how much stuff was cut 馃様

Sorry for my harsh comment before... just wanted to help

Developer(+1)

it's alright - I feel the same after reading the thousandth complaint about the framerate sometimes 馃槈
