Forge Lag

Can you please provide a client log that includes the time when this issue is happening?

 

Basically, go into the game, load your save, make the issue happen, exit, and then post the log from that.

I'm also having the issue

I get on average 65-70 FPS but when around my base I get 35 - 40. It became worse when adding more than one forge. With one forge my FPS was around 45-50. I also only get 30 FPS at trader joel's, more specifically only when inside the main building. As soon as I enter the door the game feels like it lags then the FPS drops. 

Just tested it and the FPS drop happens when I'm within two blocks from the forge looking away from them, down to 45 FPS. When looking at them and still it drops down low then bounces around 30. If I'm moving and looking at them it bounces between 30 and 60 (I'm gessing because of Dynamic Resolution. 

I have my gpu OC'd but with just the power and GPU temp sliders on the evga precision x1 app. My GPU is at 100% usage in task manager. 

IDK why but the last log file I have is from 3-27-22. Did the save location change from the 7DaysToDie_Data in the main dir? 

I forgot to mention, the burning shaft mod also causes the fps drop. 

Thank you for reporting, I believe we have a related internal ticket on this one. The effects weren't being governed by the "Particles" setting and thus causing FPS drops. It's been fixed in an internal build but is not in the most recent experimental version that came out today (so it's not in b312). Please try in the next version when it is out and let us know if you are still having issues.

Awesome! Thanks

Looks like this is still the case in build 317. I'm noticing severe lag when forges are activated (and chem labs to some extent as well).

I just had the same problem in build 333.

I started experiencing lag / fps drops with 1.0 around the first forge I built.   Then with the burning shaft mod and once I got to the wasteland I noticed the trader had some pretty rough fps drops.   Other than those three instances the game runs perfectly fine, hordes are no problem.

 

Last night I was searching playing with the settings and my problem is definitely particle related.   Reducing the particles from 50 to 25 doubled my fps when looking at the forge or being at the trader.

 

 

Hi there, the forge issue is certainly an annoying one, I am running a decent high end pc and everything runs fine apart from being close to the forges. The fix that annoyingly looks worse but completely eliminates the issue for me is to turn shadows totally off. I know it looks worse graphically but it seems to make a huge improvement on the game. Hope this helps.
