"World ticks" slowing down my save game at some 30 ms
Posted: 16 Jan 2024 20:34
I have recently ran into problems where the performance on my savegame have decreased beyond resonable levels. I'm using the JGR patch on a 2046*16382 world (as measured from the bottom-right co-ordinate.
I am currently playing at 0.50* actual game speed. I have had a look at the framerate breakdown:
As we can see, "World Ticks" have entered the red zone, which has likely pushed the framerate and actual speed of the game down to the best of my guesses. However, my main problem is that i don't know how to resolve this problem. I have only a vauge idea of what "World ticks" might mean; the things changing in this frankly, massive world.
I'm playing on a standard Acer Spin SP114-31N, with 4gb of memory, 128 gb of storage space (of which 1.9 is free), and an Intel® Celeron(R) N5100 @ 1.10GHz × 4. It's running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
This world, understandibly, is much larger then OpenTTD was initally designed for. And although in many FOSS communities fan-made nonstandard forks are not very supported, i'm just wondering if there is any general knowledge that can help against the world ticks overuse.
I'm willing to provide the savefiles even if the forums aren't (due to a size lmit blocking my 42 mb file). Here are the general settings of my OpenTTD installation, though:
It'd be great to play at 1* and even some 25* with the fast-forward button pressed.
PS: Is there any way to improve the colour scheme of these forums? I find black on dark grey rather illegible and unconducive to my frequent research efforts.
