Factorio 0.17.28
FPS/UPS
3.3/60

All Default settings
I have tried lowering all settings and can get it up to FPS 5.0

[CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5450 @ 3.00GHz, 8 cores, RAM: 24110 MB]
Initialised OpenGL:[0] GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2; driver: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 384.130

Fresh download and upgrade from factorio.com
Lowered settings for all graphics I could see

Cant seem to find a way to get FPS above 5

I can't tell if it's active or not, but try disabling vsync if it's currently enabled. I'm slightly suspicious as to what might be happening with the "0Hz" displays being reported.

Hello, 5 FPS or less is on par with software rasterization, so despite log saying it runs on GT 630, I believe OpenGL is operating in software emulated mode for some reason on your computer.

Can you run glxinfo and post here info it dumps?

sorry it tooks so long

Thanks. I don't see anything wrong with the driver in glxinfo, so rendering seems to be GPU accelerated; I am going to forward this onto our Linux devs.

EDIT: nVidia is still releasing new drivers for your model of GPU, so try to update the driver, if possible: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverR ... 5182/en-us

Things you may want to try:
Run nvidia-smi in a terminal window on your secondary display.
A simple way is running Using watch has the advantage over using the repeat function built into nvidia-smi, that it won’t scroll the output arbitrarily.

This’ll tell you if it is exhausted VRAM or the GPU running at 100% load. If it hits neither limit, there is some other software issue.

Do the FPS increase, if you detach the secondary display?

no they do not change when i detach second monitor

vram is fine 635MiB/1984MiB

well im just not sure why .16 runs fine and .17 dosnt run at all for me

Have you tried to install the new graphics driver?
If you run the command luziferius suggested, is GPU is under any load at all when the game runs?

Run nvidia-smi in a terminal window on your secondary display.

Code: Select all

watch nvidia-smi

With Game running

What i find odd is that it only uses 367MiB when .16 would jump to atleast 600MiB and after playing for a bit would jump to 1000MiB or so, and both GPU's memory gos up instead of just one ... just find this a bit odd

Any Ideas?

settings

well I have gotten the driver version up to 390 ... still working on getting 418 to load

Ok so 390 is the latest supported driver for my cards ... anyone have any ideas ?

Has anyone found a way to fix this yet ?

ok so i have tried 17.37 and same problem on fresh install
I could not get 17.38 to unpack

Unfortunatelly, I don't know how to diagnose this any further on Linux, I am sorry

I only have bad advice:
1) Try to install Windows
2) Try different Linux distro (even as live boot on USB stick)
2) Try to ask for advice on some Linux forum

There is one other thread with the similar issue: 67255

17.39 downloaded ... fps started at around 10/60 or so and started dropping consistently till it reached around 3 i switched over to firefox to right this and back to factorio and it went back up to 10/60 ... Like its not releasing resources or something .. The picture of the little man zoomed in is fuzzy as well ... this is new

started the beginner scenario and fps jumped to 25 came back down to 7.5 then went back up to 15 or so while playing ... much less lagie

well after playing the first tut I got to the point the bitters run you out of the first base and fps dropped to 5-6

an observation ... i just zoomed all the way out and ran around and fps stayed at 6.5
