How do I reduce Ping and Client Memory Usage?

Here is what will help your game:

  • StreamingEnabled
  • Setting RenderFidelity to Automatic for meshes and unions.
    You can run this script in the command bar to set them all to Automatic
function Search( Obj )
	if Obj:IsA("MeshPart") or Obj:IsA("UnionOperation") then
		Obj.RenderFidelity = "Automatic"
	end

	for Ind, Val in pairs( Obj:children( ) ) do
		Search( Val )
	end
end

Search( workspace )
  • Reduce the use of unions (If you are unioning un-needed parts, don’t. Roblox calculates your Union’s poly. Even simple objects can receive more poly than they deserve)

have I been lied to? ;-;
everyone tells me those cause performance issues : P

Also do notice one of the important thing is client memory usage

#33

They do not cause major performance issues, the key helpers to affect performance would be in my reply.

#34

Now I dont know who got the correct answer ;-;

#35

My game has a building aspect to it, would that be affected by StreamingEnabled?

#36

Oh hey lucky me I found a big topic about meshes and stuff

#37

StreamingEnabled is similar to culling. It loads chunks of the map depending on the character position. This feature will help your game’s performance, along with my other solutions.

#38

I ran this code, and studio immediately froze. Is this normal?

#39

This code will likely freeze your game for a few seconds, let it run the entire code and the game will unfreeze.

#40

Yeah, it just unfroze as I got your message.

#41

Basically, what that did is set all UnionOperators and mesh’s RenderFidelity to Automatic. This makes sure that parts are rendered based on the character position. You don’t need a high level of render when you cannot see a part.

#42

What should the minimum and maximum radius be for this?

#43

wait your code says meshparts and union operations, would that still effect normal parts?

#44

Normal parts don’t have a RenderFidelity option. It’s only for advanced objects like meshes or unions.

#45

It depends on your game. I would play around with it. The maximum value is how far the game loads in parts based on your character position.

#46

So frank would still have to union or mesh all the parts in their game

#47

That is correct, it only changes how accurate it is rendered based on the character’s position relative to the part.

#48

The factory settings (max 1024 studs) lowered it from 1000MB to 770MB, but once I start playing the MB began to rise (I’ve been in for only about 2minutes and its already at 860MB, and is now rising at a slower pace). Is this normal?

#49

This is normal. As parts load in, more complex builds will increase the MB.

#50

I had been standing still and not moving.
