Performance Issue , FPS drop

[haxxus]

This is the first time I try on client side, always used server side playing with regular q3a client. I have compiled both 32/64 bit with Cygwin using windows 10 and using stock .cfg both have fps issues. Higher drops when looking at the enemy and more when more enemies are together. In dm17 14 bots on enemy team, Using 250 maxfps in spec mode without moving mouse No problems with regular q3a ioquake3-1.36-3.1.x86 222 fps With this new git version both 32/64 166 fps

Using excessiveplus mod.

[NuclearMonster]

What video card and driver version?

[haxxus]

AMD R9 , crossfire mode , Driver 16.11.5

Ive tried a bunch of maps and does the same , less performance from the git version, about 50-60 less fps. video > https://youtu.be/RRghwybpRDQ

[ensiform]

CPU? Config? Is the mod qvm based or DLL based? (probably not relevant but just curious)

[haxxus]

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition

the mod is qvm based

Here is a link download to the mod with my autoexec.cfg , but initially I tried without a cfg and you can still see the issue . Here is my e+ server running the new io git . 45.76.35.49:27960 ( rcon l74f4n ) Could you try it? I have tried from my sons pc and same thing .

[haxxus]

could it be a hardware compatibility issue ? I had someone else using NVidia join and reported no problem using the same compiled file I have.

[SmileTheory]

The latest releases default to using the OpenGL2 renderer, which uses significantly more resources by default for fancier effects. Try turning off the following options:

r_normalmapping 0 r_specularmapping 0 r_hdr 0 r_depthPrepass 0 r_postProcess 0

For me, this is the difference between ~660 fps and ~880 fps for timedemo 1;demo four.

[haxxus]

Same results, look at this Video for details , I also found that if I use oldrail 2 everytime I shoot fps drop to 40-60, and here is my updated cfg. I have tried with swap and finish , caps my fps regularly but you still notice the performance decrease and same fps issues . ( I have turned all my GPU software features off and on with same results. ) .

[ensiform]

And if you set cl_renderer to opengl1 ? Idk why you need a separate config besides the q3config to use your settings. Also some of those mouse fixes are ancient and not relevant anymore.

[haxxus]

Same thing with gl1 or 2, no change at all.

[ensiform]

start with +set com_busyWait 1 ?

[haxxus]

same thing

[ensiform]

Sounds like your mod/computer have some sort of conflicts then :shrug:

I wouldn't keep busywait set to 1 then.

Have you considered using the official test builds instead of compiling yourself with cygwin (or use regular mingw-w64)?

[haxxus]

I just tried https://ioquake3.org/get-it/test-builds/ and the same only different is with 1.36 ioq3 , performance is better ( but still flaky ) , fps drops only about 20-40 when I shoot, I remember 4-5 years ago with my older pc I had no problem with ioq3 , but this pc plays other games fine..

[ensiform]

"Other games" are irrelevant. Chances are they are directx based etc. 1.36 is also ancient and SDL1 so its hard to compare. Have you tried forcing to a single processor in windows?

[ghost]

Hehe, i never saw a crazier config than yours! Were those values intentionally set? seta r_subdivisions "80" ? seta r_ext_max_anisotropy "32" ? I once had a similar issue of drastic frame drop caused by weird values, probably start with default setting, and without any mod... Iirc I somwhere read that some have (driver) problems with seta r_texturebits "32" (e.g.: https://dev.etlegacy.com/issues/769) etc. So probably you'll find the 'responsible' cvar by toggle them one after another. Just an idea!

[haxxus]

Yes like I mentioned before I started with default settings , and is exactly the same performance and same fps drops on both 32/64 versions, i haven't tried a non mod server , ill give it a shot.

[haxxus]

just tried a io unmoded based server , the oldrail 2 is an e+ mod feature so couldn't test that, using default config only added max fps 250 , snaps 40 and 125 packets fps were around 140-166 wile aiming around enemy and same as in videos I posted, goes up to 250 when I look away at the sky.

[ghost]

So the drastic frame drop to around 20-40 fps is gone?

The other frame drop from "140-166 wile aiming around enemy and same as in videos I posted, goes up to 250 when I look away at the sky". seems normal too me. I get even worse results (125fps / 250fps). What makes me wonder is that I have the same frame drop with regular Q3a, so there is no difference to ioquake3 on my machine. I don't know why regular Q3 is not affected on your machine.

Note, I'm no expert but a few things should be mentioned here: For a lot of players I know it doesn't really matter how many frames they have, the 'magic' is to have the frame rate as constant as possible. As long as your Frame rate does not go below 60! For example if you have your frame rate constantly at 60 fps it feels more comfortable than having 250 fps without enemies in front of you, but a framerate of e.g.: 80 when a firefight becomes serious. This is because of the human eye will notice lower frame rates than 60-70 fps, higher frame rates will only get noticed while you move through the level (jump heights etc.), this explains why the framrate should be as constant as possible. In other words, I bet no one will be able to recognize if your frame rate currently is 120, 160, or even 250 (well, except those who always say the more the better..., normally I'm a pro but my fram rate is too bad..., etc.) You can try this for your self. Set r_swapinterval to 1, you will notice your framerate would decrease to the half (of your monitors framerate or so). In my case this is 60 fps! But even with only 60 fps it feels so smooth, and steady I will never go for any higher framerate. Though, It is probably a question of taste and habit.

[haxxus]

the drop to 40-60 is using the cg_oldrail 2 cmd for e+ mod , goes away when I use oldrail1 ( and this is in dm17 ) other maps like overkill It gets even worse, as for fps, I understand what your saying but that's the thing I cant find a medium , even if I cap it at 125 every few seconds it fluctuates and I feel big performance drop , mouse gets difficult, everything slows down etc. In regular q3a don't matter if I set it to 125 or 250 , it stays there , in io is never steady when I'm around enemy.

[ghost]

And what happens if you set r_swapinterval to 1? Do you get a constant framerate then? In any case, an interesting problem. As already said, what really makes me wonder is why regular Q3a is not affected on your system, on mine (Win 7, Nvidia GTX 770, i5) Q3a behaves (more or less) the same as ioquake3. So probably as you have already said it's an AMD issue? Especially if the one you mentioned using Nvidia didn't have the problem.

[haxxus]

yep, he had steady 250 fps, and swap caps the fps to my monitor refresh but it fluctuates the same when I'm around enemy .

[haxxus]

Using that autoexec.cfg ( cmd's posted above ) I get OpenGL 2.0 Required error at launch on a nvida 540M gpu laptop. Runs fine without the autoexec. Same setup runs on AMD gpu, suggestions?

[ensiform]

Sounds like a command on the auto exec is too powerful for that little mobile GPU then? And maybe it doesn't properly support the necessary GL extensions needed by opengl2 renderer either.

[haxxus]

Without the autoexec it loads opengl 2 by default fine.

[ensiform]

FYI as pointed out in that log, you can't actually set com_zoneMegs from the config file. It must be set earlier (via a shortcut, batch file, or directly invoked in command line with +set)

The autoexec contains seta to cl_renderer opengl2.

One of the main issues here is that it appears to be using the Windows OpenGL driver as opposed to the nvidia one. Hence why OpenGL 2 isn't detected at all.

EDIT: I just looked at your autoexec.cfg : The real issue is your using r_depthbits 32 which is not valid! See: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/issues/864#issuecomment-241881842.

I think idq3 gracefully handles this because it manually takes care of the pixelformat stuff (with fallback support) but now with SDL its handled internally in SDL and no fallback for failure.

@zturtleman @timangus ^ perhaps this could be investigated why the ioq3 sdl_glimp code doesn't fallback gracefully on invalid bits.

[haxxus]

Depthtbits changed to 24 and problem fixed, as to my main pc and performance issues , seems if I keep the appstore file clean it remain stable 9 saves everything to: C:\Users\right\AppData\Roaming\Quake3 ) if I download a few maps usually problem starts at 4+ maps.

[ensiform]

Sounds like a conflict with some of the maps maybe then.

[haxxus]

Left it fine yesterday , and this morning first launch boom same crappy performance as I was getting in the beginning, I thought I had fixed it by moving all the pk3's from AppData to the original game folder baseq3, all my pk3's and was working fine all day yesterday. Tried moving them out but doesn't help it , even ran my last working backup and same thing . Before when I started trying the git as explained before here I always had crappy fps but at some point after the continues tries of recompiling somehow I noticed that it would start fine and after a few pk3's or even just restarting the game it would go back to its crappy performance and I somehow boiled it down to the amount of pk3's on the appdata folder. Yesterday I moved all the pk3's to the game baseq3 so nothing would go to appdata and worked fine all day but now for unknown reason it just started to act up again ...I really can't figure it out what is making this behavior

[timangus]

Is it possible that as it's a laptop, running on battery puts the hardware in a power saving mode and that's what's causing your poor performance? Or something along those lines anyway.

[haxxus]

nono this is on my main desktop machine, the laptop is running fine so it seems still, the hardware info on my desktop if very good and runs other games without probs, and as I mentioned before seems to be with the git and my hardware somehow because is ok on laptop and the friends ive shared it with have not reported any problems.

[ghost]

haxxus, unfortunately I can't help you for the moment, but at least I can confirm that something is wrong when compiling latest ioquake3 with Cygwin both32/64 and play on a modern PC on Win 10!. I did as you said and build the exes and game modules with Cygwin, put the exes on the PC with Win10 (also Nvidia) on it and started ioquake3, result: really terrible FPS drops! Using exactly the same compiled files on my own PC (Win7) I have very high and steady FPS. Sp probably it's not an AMD issue, maybe it's a Win10 issue? Can you test your compiled ioquake3 exe on a Win 7 system? Probably with an AMD Card? For the rendering experts: to me it seems Win10 doesn't save/read the settings of some rendering cvars. I noticed that I once set r_swapinterval to 1 and than I was not able to change it back to 0 Everytime I started ioquake3 (renderer2) I had to do a r_swapinterval 0;vid_restart. Some rendering cvars behaves correct, others are ignored ? WTF? Is there any information that r_swapinterval (OpenGL 2.0) causes problems on Win10?

[timangus]

Perhaps you could try git bisect until you find a build where the performance goes bad? Or at least try building a much older copy of the same age as your baseline test. At least then you could see if it's related to your tooling; i.e. if your old build also has poor performance then you may have some bad combination of compiler/build settings/something else.

[ensiform]

Are you sure your CPU isn't being throttled?

Cygwin is also not the recommended toolset. Try using the mingw-w64 with msys2 on the wiki.

Also, that's not really a rendering expert question about cvars. More likely is that that particular one isn't marked as CVAR_ARCHIVE thus it will get reset on next launch? (Not looking at the source at the moment to verify).

[haxxus]

Not with me no, even ran two at the same time , one lags other ( regular ) doesn't.

[ensiform]

@KuehnhammerTobias whats the output of startup when you get the lag? Did you use the broken autoexec.cfg from above?

[haxxus]

again is same with autoexec or no autoexec/default q3config

[ensiform]

Once you've used the autoexec once, you've merged the settings to your q3config.cfg anyway. Plus that was quoted to @KuehnhammerTobias not you @haxxus .

What does the log of your main desktop look like when performance is bad and when performance is good?

[ghost]

@ensiform it doesn't matter if I use autoexec.cf from above, use default settings, or the cfg from my Win7 machine, in principle the result is that unmodified ioquake3 on Win10 runs unsteady (from 10 (!) up to 30 FPS, and even more FPS but only for the first run (without any cfg in App/ folder). This unsteady 30 FPS issue occurs as soon as r_sapinterval is set to 1. It seems it doesn't matter what I do, as soon as I set r_swapinterval to 1, the cvar will never change back (only via vid_restart ingame). And ioquake3 runs similar to how haxxus explained,. That is why I first thought the issue haxxus is showing here is related to r_swapinterval. BUT (and this is a big but), I am no longer safe to myself, because

1. after exe restart the console says r_swapinterval is 0, the default (and not latched), but still 30 FPS.
2. Just now I've read a few articles that Win10 has vsync forced on? (e.g._ https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/3cpbqr/windows_10_forced_vsync/?st=iy3a4t35&sh=4443a874) Is this the case? Probably ioquake3's SDL/GL/SetSwapInterval additionally sets vsync again (twice), this would expalin why the FPS mainly is at 30 FPS (120Hz => 60 FPS via Win 10 Vsync => 30 FPS due ioquake3 setting?)
3. I will inspect this more, but I'm no longer sure if this is related to haxxus problem at all! Although FPS are unsteady as how haxxus said!

[ensiform]

Its forced at 30 fps because your graphics driver is doing it potentially. Newer Linux NVidia drivers started doing it by default, so I would assume Mac and maybe Windows would be the same. I had that issue with W:ET on Linux where it was stuck to vsync being turned on in the nvidia display server settings.

No idea why it is half the value of your refresh though. But still is likely related to the fact that its being forced on by the Driver.

[ghost]

BANG! I didn't know that ensiform! So does this explain haxxus' problem? Is it a gfx driver or OS issue than?

[haxxus]

swap to 0 as Tobias explained makes my fps steady again, but game performance feels exactly the same , Choppy, as if the fps is not showing its true value , fps might be higher because I have a 144hz monitor

[ensiform]

Are you measuring FPS ingame or with some external tool? Like I said above, vsync is possibly being set by your graphics driver (through nvidia control panel) which is irrespective of whatever cvar setting you use in-game. What com_maxFPS are you using?

[haxxus]

I got maxfps 125, not using NVidia on desktop is AMD, and using in game draw fps

[ensiform]

So then check your AMD control panel and see if its setting the vsync by default.

[haxxus]

is off, and nothing , even menu seems lagged

[ensiform]

And what is the renderer information from /gfxinfo when its like this?

@ensiform Once you've used the autoexec once, you've merged the settings to your q3config.cfg

I removed the q3config from appdata and now is working again, so that is why it worked randomly last time. But I closed the game a bunch of times now and is still running fine ( as it did the day before yesterday ) . Will inform once I restart pc if is still working.

Edit: Ok is still working after restart . ( could turning off vsync from gpu driver fixed it? )

[haxxus]

So far so good , aside from a few fps drops on different areas of regular maps like q3dm14, maybe due to my .cfg , could someone send me a well configured .cfg possible with all the good HD graphic related goodies . Thanks!

so it sounds like we have determined that there is not an ioquake3 issue? Please discuss configs on our forums at http://discourse.ioquake.org
