X4 Player empire lag

Post by GodAss » Tue, 14. Sep 21, 17:37

Hello, i didnt have any performance problems while playing, until now. I have one shipyard and a big complex of different wares both full with like 100 miners each, and it started lagging as hell, the game runs smoothly but every 5 seconds the game freezes and goes around 3-5 fps.

If this is reproduceable after a save/load cycle and your game is not modified then I suggest providing a save as the devs may be able to find, and potentially fix, the cause.

If your game is modified then this could be caused by one of the mods. Turning off mods might not fix it.

Have experience that as well. An easy fix is to disable some information from your map, you don't really need to see the path destination from every ship in the game or every transaction of every factory, do you? :)

I vaguely recall a similar frequent periodic lag issue reported long ago for games with lots of station miners where they all checked for new manager orders at the exact same time. The workaround (not a fix as such) then was to reissue their orders in staggered batches so as to spread the checking spike.

It may be that the new update has reset the clock for all miners and they could all be checking at the same time again. Just a wild theory based on a vague memory though.

Two hundred miners all checking in with their managers at the same time could be an issue.

See my first post in the thread - if it is indeed that cause.
