Hello everyone I have a question how would I fix game lag on my roleplay game with a large map and lots of detailed buildings? Does unions make it worst? Do I adjust scripts?
My map has 41k parts and not many buildings it has 71k instances idk what those are
the game lags in certain parts I started to union stuff I don’t know if that helped
A simple method is use streaming service. Try looking at the devhub for more info.
Adjusting render distance can go a long way, whether it be a system provided by the server or something a client has control over. Unions definitely cause some lag, but it should not be a large issue. If there are too many tweens running, that can also affect it. There are lots of things that you can change, it just matters what is ok to change. Let us know!
Try deleting all those (What looks like) trees and just keep some in. otherwise, try deleting some extra space at the top of the map.
Howdy!
In order to reduce lag in game please make sure you do not have tons of unions since those are super unoptimized, also you can turn on streaming enabled more on that found here → Content Streaming | Roblox Creator Documentation
**You can just optimize everything by double checking your build for extra pesky parts AND OR objects just laying around the workspace that you can delete to potentially lower that part count!
*note unions can be used to make some objects in studio look a certain way otherwise you could not do with the other tools that are provided to you so I’m not saying they are terrible haha just refrain from the over use of the union tool. / *note 2 – You could also have tons of lag coming from very unoptimized scripts in your game seeing that you have around 70k instances.
Best Of Luck With your Roblox Studio Endeavors!The physical size of the map is not a big deal. It is more about having a manageable fidelity. I’d consider looking at individual models, such as trees, and see if they have significantly more objects than what is necessary. Also, I’d be sure to anchor everything, if you haven’t already.
To add onto all the points brought up already… disabling shadows where you dont need them, setting cancollide to false where you dont need it, also helps to keep large maps performant.
If anything he can change the lighting mode he is using instead of toggling the shadow option on parts.
As Shown below ↓
Yes this is a great shortcut to negating all shadows… but keep in mind sometimes you want some shadows and have no use for a lot of others.
Very true and if he is wonder I will go ahead and provide another screenshot below ↓
With shadows on a specific part and it’s enabled it will look like this:
To toggle this off you are going to want to go ahead and click on the part and go here:
Once this option is toggled off and it’s working properly you should see no shadow shown here:
