HI,
JUst a question in general:

Whats the best way to optimize this scene?:



Every grey block has to remain in the scene and is an entity(the floor ofcourse not ).

Yesterday i removed the while loops from every entity(before my fps sometimes jittered from 60 to 59 to 60), and changed the explosion so that the boxes still react properly in Multiplayer.

tried to disable DYNAMIC seems not to work/help.
Statistics remain the same and entities are still reacting to events(in manual it says they dont o.O)

We had already aplaytest(internet) and performance worked fine so far, but just in case: can i still tweak my performance?

Don't try to improve performance just because you think it can be slow in the future. Improve the performance only if you need to!

instead of giving a sperate action to each block, use a single function and loop through them. that should result in a noticable increase in performance.

Are those blocks models or map entities? map entities are slower, especially on loading. simly export the map entites to mdl from WED.

Also, you seem to use smooth dynamic shadows. With A7, giving shadows to all of those blocks will make your game slow on even the fastest machines because of missing hardware acceleration.

I thought Pro has hardware acceleration?

Thats right, I forgot about that.

And I just noticed that those shadows are probably from WED and no dynamic shadows anyway.
Just look at the ms/frame column of the debug panel to see whats causing slowdowns. The fnc is the time for functions, its not really high right now, no need to optimize that.

You can look up the meaning of all values in the manual under "default.c".
prv is pretty high, srv is normal when i compare it to my projects.

@Schokokeks:

prv? there is no prv^^, maybe you mean ref?

@JUstsis: Mh, okay.
just thought i could reset Dynamic, cause i dont need them to be active. Everything else can be controlled by other events.
BUt as i said, for me it doesnt seem to work(resetting Dynamic)
