Summary0000935: FPS drop on APC fire
DescriptionTestet with RHS only. When firing with an APC (op/blu/Int) the fps drops massive from e.g. 60 fps down to 40fps. When playing online this makes a 30fps game non playable down to 10fps.
Steps To ReproduceTake a APC like BMP 2D or Bradley and fire with HE/AP ammo on a hill within 1000m.
Additional InformationThis is reported by many players on our clan/other clans. Looks like all players are affected. Onboard crew, infantry. Was already on 1.46 arma, now with 1.48 still apears that this is a RHS bug.

Are you sure you are all running same version of RHS, including the server? We have played many times online and all works fine here. Are you using also any other mods? Are they all also the same version?

It also appears offline when i start my own server only with RHS: Escalation 0.3.8 (no cba or any other mod).

And online we use Repository to have server and all clients on same version.

The repo version is from your downloader tool and not from another source.
@RHAFRF
@RHUSF
I checked repo with other clans, they have the same files.

Have you tried to change a few settings? Particularly the particle effects.

I'm trying to reproduce it but I'm unable.

I will try. Yesterday i tried to make a short video but in singleplayer i have 130fps where the fps drops only to 110. The video tool cap my fps to 60, even with 12km viewdistance i have 60 max/low and only the raising GPU load is visible on my g19 keyboard ;)

This drops also if you shoot over the hill far away. I think the faster the AP/HE 20mm are shot, the more the fps drops. With bradley the impact its not as huge as the e.g. BMP-2. Set him to max. and fire 20sec.
IT is only with 20mm, not MG or Maincanon/Rockets. With vanilla Kamysh the fps drops only 2fps when the impact smoke is visible.

! It looks on a short test that beeing 3rd person on a tank as a gunner, the fps dont drop ! We play only 1st person everything. Will need to look further on this one.

I dont know why but on a server with load and 25people playing it was much more noticable to me (and all the others, most players have a not so good PC like me), it stutters everytime the apc fired for 90% of all players. we talked about it after the second big mission and now im here :(
In vehicles you always have more fps then infantrie, so for me i first even didnt notice the problem but after i looked after it i saw what they mean.

I will try 0.35/0.36 when i find this old version anywhere and will test it again. We use often tanks and apcs and this is getting a nightmare for us because rhs is just the best for armored warfare ;)

I dont know when this starts to happened. We dont play everyday with APCs from RHS, we play bigger missions every 2 weeks only. It took time to identify this sort of bug. I will test a older RHS version and report then.

Ok. particle effects have an impact. On high i get 80fps, going down to 55. Set it to low i get 80fps, going down to 65 (only)

0.3.5 dont change it, its the same.

On vanilla and BWMod APC's 20mm Fire dont see a difference, max. 2fps with low/high.

Try this fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ-OE1vwOWo [^]

While the above will help with FPS during a firefight (was quite beneficial for my gamer client), it did not resolve the original issue.

Howdy, am seeing the same issue happen after a battle on a mission I'm working on called CO2018 Pushback that uses Escalation v 0.4.0.1. Found this thread and am going to see if I can replicate it with any BTR's and/or Bradleys.

is this happening exactly when the muzzle flash proxy appears?
