How do I reduce Ping and Client Memory Usage?

Oh wait I just found something that would help, enable
enable something called content streaming or something

#22

Oh. What should I use instead of meshes?

#23

No, how would you end up with MORE polies?

#24

I’m unfamiliar with that, could you explain to me what it is and how to enable it?

#25

I am also unfamilier, but here is an article about it: Content Streaming | Roblox Creator Documentation

#26

If he’s trying to replicate his current builds in blender, he will likely end up with more poly than he started off with. I don’t see how converting the meshes will resolve his issue what so ever.

#27

In blender you can remove any faces, vertices, egdes that is inside of the model

#28

This won’t help, roblox part’s are already optimized and have very few poly. This will not resolve his issue.

Basically, removing these things (This is the inside of a map)

These parts need to stay , as their outside parts are required, however, you could remove most of these by simple having them share vertices with another part

#30

This will not impact the performance of the game in general. This will cause great work, but little results.

#31

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)
#32

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.
