Title: FPS drops at sunset.
Post by: KW71 on April 22, 2015, 12:22:53 am

Hi!!!

Have you noticed a huge drop in FPS at sunset? I have Vsync to 60 and is almost always steady, but at sunset it drops till 20.

 I tried to make a video, but fps are not recorded.


Airport lower Himalayas.

Because of all the zombies scrambling out of the dirt out there in the forests.

Ha ha ha ha!  Outerr-apocalypse.

:facepalm:

I am guessing the scattering and shadow casting is computationally intensive.
