Is overgrowth overly taxing on your computer?

Post by Marksman46 » Sun Dec 21, 2014 2:02 am

I don't know if this a bug or a hardware issue, so I'll just post this here.

I love overgrowth, I have since the moment I saw it. But it is INSANELY taxing on my computer. I can run the new tomb raider game on high to ultra settings with a few dips here and there, but overgrowth lags with

-2 bunnies
-2 swords
and the map itself.

It runs perfectly fine, up until there is lots of blood, or when characters try to get up from being dead/knocked over.

Also, the grassy, and foresty maps are so horribly framey. And without graphical settings aside from sum launchers, (And even at the lowest) it still runs terribly. I don't know if it's optization, or what it is, but is anyone else experiencing this?

-SIDE NOTE- I played it a lot, but since the last patch, the whole "Characters getting up" lag is new. I recall the patchnotes said something about ragdolls being improved.

-SIDE- -SIDE NOTE- I have an AMD 7800 series, intel i-7 quad core, 32 gb ram.

Those are pretty high specs. In both Windows and Linux my laptop can hit 120 FPS, and I'm using Intel HD 4000 and a Core i3-3110M @2.4GHz. I havent't played in a while though, so I'm gonna check back and see if I lag.

It's still strange, with that resources it should run pretty well. I don't know how good the gfx card is, but the other stuff is very similar to my setup and it runs perfectly fine for me.

I found when I was usīng an old 5850 that fiddling with GPU skinning in the settings made a massive difference to the framerate. I guess the gpu didn't support it, and maybe since your card is a few years old that is the problem. Just guessing here, I would've thought 7800 series might support it.

I know it's alpha, but I'm not sure that each update should be doing the opposite of optimizing?

My specs are:

i-7 quad 3.40GB
16GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit)

I've been running lag free. I'd say it's probably the GPU.

Yeah that would be my guess. Then again as some people said it's still in alpha. Bugs and crashes are sprinkled throughout. How ever, if you are having issues when the particle effects are being emitted you may want to either turn down the resolution or some of the other graphical settings

:D :D :D
