Yeah if you can advise where these drops are mate that would be appreciated, I had a fair few including a laptop user play and no noticeable drops but you never know.

This is how the fps drops work, at the start I have really low fps (When I launch the map, lobby lags nothing, but when I start the actual gameplay after readying). Averaging from 10 to 25 maybe. And then after a while, (does not seem to be dependant on Waves) the fps drops dissappear. I have not played long enough on the map lately to know if it starts again. But either way, the fps drop is very frustrating. Is there something at the start of the map that might affect framerate that dissappears over time? Maybe it is the mode the light is set in early-on that is causing the framerate issue? It is very hard to tell. The fps issue seems to be time dependant anyway. Also, this has been in almost all night/day versions for me.

That is strange as none if the emitters are active at that point, the sky change should have no effect either, the lighting is mostly done without dynamic shadows so should not be an issue either.
If anyone else is experiencing this I would be interested to hear so I can try and isolate the issue.
Most everyone who has tried it said it played fine even one guy on a lappy

I got 50fps for the most part, slowdown went to 40fps playing w high settings and 4xAA using a gtx 760 i7 4790k and 16gb ram playing off an SSD. So I'd guess something in your particular setup is causing the lag on that map. And this was the first time playing the 'N' beta and it's nice to see the improvements. The older beta's played fine using my old pc as well using low settings on a gtx 460 core2 e8400 @3.6ghz on 6gb ram. I'm pretty happy with the results I got on my new build. Low settings didn't show the heat trails on bullet time and the stalkers are also harder to see since they also use a similar effect to show an outline in their invisible mode.
Nice so seems its not so much the map, there is a few things happening at spawn but not had anyone complaining of lag that much.
Like everything there may be a few fps drops but I put a lot into optimising this version by culling lights, sm's so "should" be ok but will double check everything

Not where you think. I thought it would be in that control room thingy on the other side.
Hint: It's not underground.
A little hint :
Its not as stated underground
Its not in the church
its not in the locker room
Its NOT in a location you have to jump to or hard to reach
it COULD be outside
Remember it is just a little bonus room and not essential to open

I took the liberty of uploading the map to KF2 Banana. Christ only knows why it hasn't been posted already. http://kf2.gamebanana.com/maps/186497
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
At 202 MB it's becoming quite the download, especially when 6 players have to download it at once. Did update all my servers though.
Was a bit disappointed the garage was gone but the hotel that stands in it's place is just awesome. Absolutely love it.
Some remarks:

Some remarks:
- When the subway opens, you get a message in the middle of the screen as all messages do now. But you also get an empty System: message in the bottom left corner. This is the only message that does this. All other messages don't have an empty System: at the bottom.
- The doors of the cinema clip through the panel that shields it when the cinema is still closed.
- The switch to open the nightclub... The previous location didn't make much sense, but this time you went above and beyond at making sure nobody's gonna find it. Seriously, why would anybody look for it there? Even if you enter that place it is not obvious.

Will sort doors and message in last update
The button will be abit easier to find in the last update too lol
Yes the map is a hefty 200 odd mb so will only be releasing a final version after this now, that's the price you pay for lots of custom content lol
The way I see it though is you only download it once then that it's and the last version won't be released until a day or so before the comp so it's just a case if waiting once.
BUT people can also just download the zip @ 55mb and place in their map folder to save downloading I guess.
Thanks for the feedback it will be fixed in last version

If people are downloading the map from a redirect server, it will be saved to the cache which is deleted after 30 days by default. So it would need to be downloaded again after 30 days if the map is not manually moved out of the cache. Length of time to keep the cache can be increased but I'm not sure the max days or if it can be set to keep forever. An app to do this can be found here http://kf2.gamebanana.com/gamefiles/download/4148
Gday people i'm back from the dead and had to find out that the repair shop turned into a hotel.. so much for finding the fusebox

I also have some FPS issues here and there.. well mostly everwhere. I normaly play with smooth 50-60 but on ur map i get max 30.
Hi thanks for the feedback, the bonus room button will be a lot easier to find in the final version as well as the map being properly optimised,
At the moment I have fixed all the little things like the cinema door etc.. And am in the middle of sorting performance and will thoroughly test before releasing.
On that note though I do think Fps in General will be a little lower on this map due to the sheer amount of things happening but I believe you will see a VAST improvement next release

New revised version coming in the next 48hrs , I believe the FPS issue has been totally fixed now as most seem to have an increase for 100% + fps now.
The day to night has also been sped up this had tto be done but still changes nicely.
This will probably be the final version for the map comp too.
Will update first post when uploaded
