performance issue
Hello. This game makes one of my cores at ~90% CPU on title screen, pushing my CPU to it's maximum frequency (and that makes the fan noisy). From what I can tell, the remaining percents are syscalls. I know it's only an early version, though, but I thought it's be useful to report this anyway.
For technical infos: running on Debian, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold G5500 CPU @ 3.80GHz, no dedicated GPU (and I can, ofc, run many games without any problem). Using the binary distributed by website.
Thanks for the report, I appreciate it!
That's interesting. Can you find your sulis.log file (most likely in ~/.config/sulis/log on your system) and attach it to this issue?
The frame rate is capped at 60 fps by default. I have a machine that's actually quite a bit weaker than yours and CPU usage generally stays below 10% there. So definitely something strange going on.
Certainly sulis.log
I bet there's something strange here:
[2022-01-08 04:16:39.194927 +01:00] INFO [sulis_core/src/io/glium_adapter.rs:616] Rendered 167135 frames with total render time 114.8613 seconds
The number... It would mean 1466 frames per second! For a start, I doubt my system is able to do that, so the count feels wrong, and second, that's a bit too much :) At 60 FPS, it should be 6840 frames.
I actually think that the frame rate number likely is accurate - it is rendering frames as fast as possible when it should be capped to 60 (by default). Hence, using up all of your CPU.
I'm not exactly sure how that could happen - can you also attach your config.yml file (most likely in ~/.config/sulis).
Compressed it becuase annoying github. Note that I didn't touched anything in config IIRC. config.tar.gz
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately yes, those are the default settings so I am still guessing at what the problem might be. Will continue to think about it.
YW. If I can help more, feel free to ask, but I don't know anything about rust (if that was some C or C++, I could have provided a lot more info, because I know the toolchains well), so I can only help by reporting infos and testing.
Pushed a potential fix for this in 099da3680fa31b704bfe405ca872ea2c51c90a36.
There also a change in winit that isn't yet in a release that could be impacting this: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/commit/0e52672f4aea376c3ef8a06b64aedca46a40e9b8 Will update the winit dependency once that is released.
Hello. Is there is a published release with that fix, so that I can test and (hopefully) close this issue? Sorry I was rarely present on github those months (and it's not going to improve, but at least I want to see issues I've opened closed when possible).
i build the master branch and have currently an fps of 171, the 0.6.0 binaries had an fps of over 200 on my notebook
Sorry for that (and not having checked out earlier), but apparently when I run the game I still do not have a 60 FpS, but rather a several hundreds of those, making CPU run at full speed.
Thanks so much for checking into this after all this time. I will take another look.
I've got a linux laptop with an integrated intel gpu and a dedicated nvidia gpu. I enabled vsync in glium and my framerate drop from ~300 to 60. I've submitted a PR with the change, can't test it on windows or any other devices though.
