FPS drops at sunset.
« 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.

Ha ha ha ha!  Outerr-apocalypse.

:facepalm:

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