Hmm, I see, interesting. Thank you for the data.

Do you guys expericence any negative effects when Vsync is off - specifically, do you see screen tearing?

@hgschmie: what macOS version do you have?

Hello, it's the same as https://forums.factorio.com/121399 Your PC doesn't keep up with the server update rate, so it skips frames to not have to pause update to copy state needed for rendering from the game state. You need to slow down tick update ... server host (or admin in the game) can run comm...

On my MacBook Air M2 you can see for yourself with a medium base the FPS drops around 40 - but remains very playable Cool, thank you. The screenshot is 2946x2060 but the screen was even larger. That is consistent with my conclusions about "rendering performance issue in high resolution", ...

The game slows down significantly after about fifteen minutes, even on up-to-date machines running the latest software. That's what you experience? Up until now I was under the impression 2.0 runs fine for you on both your 2016 MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro M2. Akyri above you describes something sim...

If you ask the community for more detailed things to test or logs to provide, I bet we'd be happy to give that. People in this thread seem to be under the impression they've given more than enough data for a repro when it sounds like that isn't the case. Some specific requests would be great. Could...

Thanks for the report.
It was a bug, I asked artists about it (not long after the effect was added), they said it wasn't not intended, but looks cool, so to leave it. It's a feature now

@posila I'm sorry to see you feel so criticized and defensive about this issue, perhaps you are once bitten twice shy about interacting with the community demanding a fix. It's tough to be a dev and prioritize things! That said, I think your defensiveness has clouded your judgement a bit—you seemed...

Update and render run in parallel, but they have sychnronization point - render preparation, which block both render and update. Disabling options "show smoke", "show particles" and "show decoratives" will remove some work from render preparation ... how much depends on...

It's not GPU issue. It's that your update time is so close to 16 ms, that there is not time to pause update to prepare rendering (more overlays = more time needed to prepare rendering). In single player, your UPS would start dropping, in multiplayer the game tries to maintain update rate with the se...

Thank you, it means a lot to me.

To clarify, I am not the Mac guy ... I am OpenGL/DirectX/graphics subsystem guy ... and so far this seems to "fall into my department"

I split your posts to separate report as it seems to be different issue.

Seeing that restarting the system fixes the issue, I can't really blame Factorio. But as I'm not experiencing this anywhere else, and only since space age, any idea of what could cause this or what else I could try to avoid having to restart would be appreciated. Given the restart fixed it, my best...

Thanks for the report.
The crashes are all over the place, and it seems to me your system is very unstable.
Have you updated BIOS to version with fix for 13th gen Intel CPU stability issues? https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confi ... re-updates

All that said, I still don't know what's up with FullHD external displays (4K ones with render in native resolution = majority of the performance issue is due to more demanding renderer). To me, that's as if you said "when I stand on one leg and sing national anthem the game stutters" ... ...

... but it also feels like wube is a bit irritated by the well-intentioned peanut gallery here and in the other adjacent threads, which doesn't feel great, but maybe i'm misreading the tone. Wube sees 600 open issues with the game and is not bothered and believes it will be close to zero in couple ...

I assume you don't have issues with color vision. That's not the case for everybody, though.

Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 2.0.18

Thanks for the save, I can see the problem in it too.

Thanks for the report.
