Ren'py performance gripes.

#1 Post by Doomfest » Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:02 pm

How well does Ren'py's framerate cap work? I mean, it's a bit silly when a modern quad-core registers 30-40% constant usage for Ren'py because of a looping alpha operation for a single 26px by 26px image.

On another note, are there any plans for how to return to 100% window size when resized, yet?

[02:52] <Doomfest> have you seen prince of egypt
[02:53] <Doomfest> do you remember that scene with the storm of bugs
[02:54] <Komi> I know what you are talking about, but I can't remember the scene.
[02:54] <Doomfest> that is what it feels like
[02:55] <Komi> Personality conflicts on the team, I take it?
[02:56] <Doomfest> no
[02:56] <Doomfest> just bugs

It depends on how you have your video card driver set up. We request vertical synchronization, and honor it when it's available - if you turn it off, we'll give you all the frames you can handle.

The obvious ideas didn't work. I'm looking into it, but not that actively.

I'm still getting a lot of CPU usage when vsync is on. Is alpha really that intensive?
