Please stop the bull♥♥♥♥ comments on this section no one cares about how the game is running on your computer. I get constant 80-90 FPS on a 2560x1080 wide monitor with GTX 1060 3 gb and i5 . I just turn off the shadows and everything works perfect.Just go work and if you love so much 7 DTD buy a new rig ♥♥♥♥♥♥. You all are just cry baby. I like this game so much im happy with Alpha 16.4 too. If you criticise and wants Alpha 17 faster then go and donate 10$ million and they will relase it the next day you idiots. I come on Alpha 17 developer diary to read news i dont wanna see your bull♥♥♥♥ here about how the game is running on your ♥♥♥♥ti computer

That's harsh dude, did you forget to take your meds again?

 
I always keep track on how much resources are used from the computer (hurray for MSI afterburner and logitech g19), and it's not limited to the computers power, plenty of ram free, no cpu cores are even close to being maxed, generally over half the vram is free and the graphicscard is not being utilized nearly fully.

You also need to take into account HD speed, all the ground chunks are saved to individual files, when you come into range of a skyscraper the file it needs to load is larger than normal and so takes time to load, before it can begin to process using your CPU and GPU. HD RPM speed and HD cache both help with loading and saving chunks.

I used to use a slow HD and found my FPS rate reduce significantly when riding the mini bike at full speed near a town or city, loading new chunks, saving old ones. Changing the drive the game was installed on sped things up for me after a CPU and GPU upgrade had reached its FPS limit. A SSD would have worked even better and that is next on my upgrade list I think.

Absolutely if your Motherboard supports it buy a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe you will be glad you did.

So does anyone know what will happen to your character upon death? Since the wellness system is being readjusted/replaced. Will your max health/stamina get reduced as it is in A16?

Take a chill-pill mate.

And some thought DaVega was a rude fella :)

Take it easy. Comparing Rigs and talking about Performance is a good thing and belongs somewhat to this forum ( maybe not neccesary in his thread), rants like yours at the other hand....

I rather read 20 Posts about Rigs, Settings and Setup instead 1 White Knight or Rant Post like yours ;)

Hehe. Well, there are different levels of rude-ness (or perceived rudeness). I would never go about swearing like that.

 
Was not really meant against you. While you sometimes come close to the Border of Rant, i still appreciate most of your posts because it starts discussion and mostly ends in a post of a Dev or Roland explaining things. that were left unsure :)

Just dont like those Posts of people like "iLikeIt" because it contains ZERO real content or argumentive critic.

Thanks mate. Appreciated!

Nice, never saw a "One Poster" with a negative Reputation

I think that creature crawled from the depths of Tumblr... We must kill it with fire! Also bump I wanna know too, I look forward to the next video or experimental release. Whichever comes first :p

 
It's something I have noticed in every single Unity game that offers "unlimited" building, 7 Days, Kerbal Space Program, Empyrion, Planet Explorers and more that I can't recall the names of just now, (Yes, I'm a sucker for survival/crafting games :p ) but as soon as a certain point of complexity is reached, the engine chokes and framerate drops.

,,, plenty of ram free, no cpu cores are even close to being maxed, generally over half the vram is free and the graphicscard is not being utilized nearly fully.
What is not as easy to measure is the speed with which data is moved around in a computer. For one thing the speed with which you access data from the hard disk might have a big influence on the performance. So as Gepps said, if you don't have an SSD yet, get one. But once you have the fastest SSD there are limits how much your internal SATA or PCIe bus system can transfer. SATA3 aka SATA 6G's limit is about 500MB/s. Modern SSDs are already slowed down by that, you need a M.2 SSD and a suitable motherboard to go beyond that. If you don't even have SATA 6G, well, a SSD would still help, but not that much.

But also the speed with which data gets from RAM to CPU or back, i.e. caches and internal bus speeds might be limits for a game that needs to process so much data. Sadly to raise these limits (IF they are the bottleneck) you would have to buy a server CPU like Threatripper or Intel Xeon. Generally it helps to have a modern motherboard, which usually gets you at least slightly better internal busses, latest tech RAM (DDR4), PCIe, M.2

So my advice would be: If you have an older motherboard and some spare cash, even if the CPU and GPU look like they can handle everything, get a new motherboard with M.2 interface, not the slowest RAM, any affordable mid-range Zen or Intel CPU will do and probably your old GPU as well.

Specifics are unknown but it will involve the new attribute stats which will make the penalty for dying quite a bit more onerous than they are currently. The devs don’t want dying to be trivial enough to be used as a kind of strategy...

Glad to see this part. Right now the easiest way to get rid of a broken leg or infection is just to die and get it over with. Couple meat stews and your max health is back to what it was.
