Triangle count extreamly high

[Atlas_Detected]

Hello developers so I have recently made a game on roblox called skyscraper which has 120 floors which is a lot of floors.

My CPU can handle this game but other people who apparently have a better CPU is struggling.

Estimates show of 90 Million triangles are being shown in-game on a camera frame. So my question is how do I reduce the triangle count?

People are suffering from 18FPS

The main issue is that roblox has no idea what no to draw at any given times limiting draw distance would make a huge difference

Could you provide some screenshots of the game?

[Atlas_Detected]

Since I am unable to provide screenshots right about now I have opened the place.

The game is private, I am not able to join it.

[Atlas_Detected]

Hey sorry try now? I hope this helps

[RMofSBI]

LOL sorry i had to mention that you misspelled it and it says sky crapper lol

[Atlas_Detected]

Lol thanks for mentioning it I am aware since this game is in beta there is no need to change until release

[RMofSBI]

Made me giggle, thanks for that.

[RMofSBI]

I played the game, i had no real issues but my computer is fast… however, have you tried to test it with streamingenabled?

[Atlas_Detected]

Streaming enabled is on. Ig its just people with bad CPU and graphics that are complaining.

Try this module, it will help those with lower performance devices toggle between high and low res setting in your games:

Perclean (v2.5) - For easy implementation of low-quality mode!

Hey sounds good! Is this like a button clientside or serversided. If it’s serversided then it’s pointless as some people wanna have good experience playing

Hello Linux_Detected !

I have a question for you: Did you make 1 floor and duplicate it 120 times, or did you avoid unnecessary parts by extending the Floor0’s walls up to the top?
Secondly, I have not visited your last floor, but it might be possible that one of the free model you picked is horribly optimized.

Last question, are you 100% certain of the necessity of having 120 floors? Most of your floors are unused and the amount of floor & height of your building definetly plays on lag. There’s a line to find between ‘‘Impressive’’ and '‘Overkill’, and without imposing any judgement, I believe that in this case it might have just crossed that line.

Hello MrSpy_IA,

I basically duplicated the floors correct. Some floors have edits on them and you could by right that one of my free models are badly optimized I will remove most free models on floor 44/45 as it seems that’s overkill.

The game is designed to be a skyscraper I understand most people believe that 120 floors is too much but my idea of the game is where developers can rent out floors for their own group or to use it as a small shop to earn profit.

No worries though if you got anymore questions please feel free to comment.

[MrSpy_IA]

Oh! Yes, it makes sense for it to be high then.
Yet, maybe you could start at, let’s say, 20 floors, and add more floors as you get more residents? How does that sound?

[Atlas_Detected]

That sounds good but could come into issues with planning the cafe and adding lifts. Although I could block off floors but thanks for the idea.

My GPU lagged but it’s horrible lol. I don’t see any problem with the game currently. My CPU was just fine.

[Atlas_Detected]

Hey is your gpu bad is it a good gpu and you lost fps?

If StreamingEnabled is set to opportunistic, that seems to be what causes the memory spikes, as the skyscraper is getting burdened with loading multiple floors depending on the elevator speed, on top of unloading the lower floors. Going from top to bottom, it’s the same. There’s a density of detail on the lower floors that henders performance it seems, because the multiple arcade games keep their surfaceGuis loaded, regardless of floor. The elevators are extremely detailed, that could be another thing the memory is struggling to populate. I love your Skyscraper! I rode up to floor 59 and my pc crashed LOL. It’s not deterring me, I really do like what you’ve done, keep it up. <3

[jsnotlout1]

Yeah the GPU is horrible so that’s not the game’s fault lol. But CPU was fine
