Since updating to 0.16.30, I have been experiencing severe lag spikes when fully zoomed out whilst fighting biters. It also happened once when I was just riding in my train, with no biters in sight.
Something in the actual game render begins to take forever, according to the debug screen.
Here is a video I took of the phenomenon: https://youtu.be/KgTfyEuaC3g
Save file is attached for reference.
I seem to remember messing with the video options to decrease my VRAM usage (running high resolution used to max out my VRAM, but now only takes half of it). My first thought was that the problems were related to something I changed, but I tried resetting everything to how I had it before, to no avail.
Here are my current video settings:

Re: [0.16.30] Extreme lag at max zoom level with biters
Thanks for the report. A 660ti isn't powerful enough (doesn't have enough VRAM) to run high res graphics. You'll need to turn the graphics quality down to normal or deal with the slowdown.

Huh, that's disappointing (seeing as GPU prices are absolutely ridiculous at the moment). I thought this was a bug because it didn't used to do this, it only started with 0.16.30. Thanks for the quick response.

So turning off low VRAM mode makes it playable (~40FPS) rather than going down to ~5FPS. I can deal with that, I guess. I need the high-res.

Every few versions of 0.16 adds some new high res graphics which keeps increasing the hardware requirements.Raiguard wrote:Huh, that's disappointing (seeing as GPU prices are absolutely ridiculous at the moment).
