Maybe your graphics level wasn’t high enough?

Have you been able to circumvent this problem? I imagine that turning off the castshadow property for the decorative blocks might work…?

Yeah, that’s the only solution we have, which does make sense. It is less calculations of the shadows. That’s how I made the example on the right as seen in the video.

I believe smoke still behaves in the old manner together with lighting. You can have narrow lighting spots on the ground, but the lighting displayed inside of fog is still that of the old spot system. (Aka, you don’t see it at all since narrow spots were impossible.)

Any plans of fixing this?

To be honest I’ve noticed that FIB can’t handle anything, like even on a good pc I still run with 25 FPS on something barely even considered to be a ‘large game’, so generally I just feel like there could be a better alternative to how it runs, although I don’t know anything since I’m basically as relevant as a bag of peanuts.

It’s ideal for showcase games. I can’t imagine it being used in large scale, front page games whatsoever. FIB is predominately used for games that are trying to showcase detail. Larger games divert more attention to other things, like gameplay.

I’d even say it’s a showcase game, it has a mass amount of particles although the main problem being FIB, I’ll post the link if that helps you. La Ville De L'Étincelle - Roblox

Unfortunately the price of a beautiful game is to play roblox on a supercomputer :pensive:

Believe it or not, I’m on a great pc, RTX 2080 TI and all, and it still lags for me, despite all that it really shows how flawed FIB is.

FIB is still very new. It has just been released and there are certainly improvements to be made.
The best we can do is provide Roblox engineers bugs and issues so they can try to fix them.

You could always change it back to shadow map instead of future
