The Map tanks to 1 FPS and crashes for everyone on my server when running this on the beta preview version (could be a problem with nvidia flex)

Can confirm.

I have never tested it with the Beta and am unable to at this point. Still in the process of moving.

Does this still happen?

Yea same thing is happening in the regular version of the game now with the update, map is unplayable with Nvidia Flex enabled

Which doesn't make since really :/ maybe its because I have a lot of blood splatter around the map.

V10-2 is out and should fix the Nvidia Flex issues along with having bling work properly.


Changes in V10-2:

• Fixed Nvidia Flex crashing (hopefully)
• Bling works on the map now
• Spawn time has been reduced for Zeds

As usual download it by going to Gamebana.com!

Map isn't fixed, the flex fluids don't use spatter maps like normal blood does, it is a physical object in the map and they seem to go right through the carpet which causes the bug, maybe theyre getting trapped inbetween the carpet & the floor im not sure

Ok so it is only the fluids then, and the crash only happens around the carpet or when you kill stuff around other areas on the map?

The frame rate tanks for everyone with Flex, no matter where we try and holdout.

Even the people without Flex have lower frames in the last ~5 versions, when compared to the fps we used to have in early versions.

One map developer that was playing on my server said it might be because you probably used Static Meshes for everything. If that makes sense. Apparently it is a bad idea.

All tripwire maps are made with only static meshes, it is modular level design.

Everything was fine for the map up until the update. Something in that update did something and I have no clue as to why that is. I can assure it is not because of static meshes lol

These issues all occur online withing servers, solo play seems to be unaffected from what I have heard.

I will try my best to fix it, but unfortunatley if I can't not much can be done. At this point I need insight from Tripwire :/

If that person was wrong about the cause, then that person is wrong. Just relaying what I was told.

Regardless, lower fps problem is there.

Its a bummer too, because I have zero ideas on how to fix it without having a group of testers.

So I will just state this. All future builds will be released to try and rectify this issue. If you download and host and or play it solo PLEASE post how it plays here so 4 months of work on this map does not go down the drain.

Yea i was wrong because of how hard it is to test on all the surfaces when the game crashes after only one try, it seems to be affected by alot more than just the carpet, but the carpet 100% of the time will cause the lag i know that for sure

It has something to do with the map and not with the materials or meshes after I was doing some testing. I even went so far as to remove the outside lights and replace all the materials and meshes lol

I am eliminating other variables currently and trying to figure out whats causing this. If I am unable to do that I will be remaking the map in scratch in a blank template.

This process is going to take a few weeks to complete but people seem to enjoy the map and I would like for the community to be able to play it.
