#Dominions and ??? cause severe lag when on screen

Dominions and the final leyline boss (God? Seraphim? Smiley Face Guy?) cause severe lag when on the screen. I think it's something to do with their strange, shifting models, perhaps they have a high polygon count?

For dominions it's less of an issue because they're not much of a threat and don't even attack you, but during the God fight it's kind of a big deal if the game becomes a powerpoint presentation

I don't know how to include the logs, as I cannot find the location on Linux. I am on Linux Fedora KDE Plasma Version 43.

They're very GPU heavy

#

I'm going to add a setting for fractals overall

#

I have a 5060 I believe, should be able to handle way more than that lol

#

But maybe fractals are that intense which tracks yeah

#

I think a few GPUs struggle really badly with them for quirky reasons

#

They're complex shaders, but my laptop integrated doesn't lag with them

#

But I'll add a "fractal quality" in the next patch because you're not alone

#

lol fair fair

#

I think it's less of a "raw gpu power" thing and like, gpus being specified for different things?

#

Like there's some retro games that powerful gpus will explode over because they were not made for that even though it's a game from the 90s

#

Either way a fractal option is a good idea and I look forward to being able to properly fight God to awesome breakcore :D

I second this post. Actually, I've advised people before to look for a huge lag spike when trying to get the Hand Wand achievement.

#

definitely got that when I was after the hand wand, luckily dominions don't do much to avoid being killed but still

#

I think portraying divine beings as living fractals is an awesome idea but alas computers were not meant for that

I don't think I've come across one of those, but maybe it's just a different type of fractal? I'd have to find one to check

This is kind of embarassing but I never actually installed the nvidia drivers

#

I did that and can now handle having 50 dominions on screen (although there is still a serious lag spike when one spawns in sometimes but then it's stable afterwards)

#

It turns out my PC was using integrated gpu instead of the nvidia

#

that being said, the fractals do still make lower end gpus shit themselves I just thought I'd update

daring spear
#

ok_bubblebear new update will have the option anyways

#

🫡 hell yeag

#

Did you try it :)? It's the low quality fractal setting

#

Not sure if it's enough to stop the lag
