Please optimize the game. - Rust

I like this game, But the fps is retarded. I turned all the settings down so it looks like a potato and i still only get 20-30 fps and i got a high end pc... Please optimize it soon

The game is constantly worked on, it's not like they have a switch labeled "optimize". You're just gonna have to be patient.

I assume, you don't even have an Idea what "optimization" stands for. As a software developer, let me tell you; Softwareoptimization is about finding unnecessary load, deadlocks, unappropriate access to global vars and functions where locals would do better, handover between interfaces by more functions than nacessary and so on. It is absolutely impossible to know right in the moment you write some piece of code, if it fits the final requirements. Thus you sometimes use mechanics which are not as performant as they could be, but they work and in an alpha thats the essential. You could try to optimize this factors, but within a few nightly builds the optimization would lack of effect or could even make the process slower due the coder might to have undo the optimizations. Correct term here is "prematural optimization". Its a bad behavior as a developer and should be avoidet. For goldmaster or later builds optimization is a very high priority but this is alpha. Not even beta, where optimization should be done from time to time. just a quick reminder: Goldmaster: Final release version. Might be updated and extendet, but is declared as "job done". This is the version you can buy as hardcover in shops. Beta: The game itself is still declared as "work in progress". All Modules are in, but not working perfect, lot of work has to be done. Alpha: First version you could show to people outside the team. There are still some Modules missing, the game is far from beeing done and the highest priority is to finish specific modules, not the game itself. Optimization absolutely takes no role here. (unless the bad performance makes testing impossible (like the devs have 2fps, impossible to test then. but even 30fps on a titan would be okay at this stage, due it's not optimized and alpha es... uhm... alpha.)

high end pc? post ur specs. i have contant 60+ fps with gtx 980 and i7 3970x with almost everything maxed on 1920*1080

i7-4770, R9 280X, 8gb CL7 1333mhz -> 55-60fps maxed out with current version. prior version was lower fps.

You are a real lucky man. I get 14 fps max, I'm not saying I have a beautiful computer or anything but it can do way better than that.

Define "high end pc"

I get decent frame with what I feel is a midgrade pc. 6 core amd built in 2012, with a radeon 6700 series, 1 SSD and 16GB ram. Have no idea what my fps is, but probably around 30 and its playable. I think I'm using the 2nd to best quality settings, maybe double check when I get home.

Yours should be close to that. [QUOTE=elevate;48090852]I never thought I'd see this posted outside of programming circles.
