Everything you are saying makes sense, but over 40x increase in draw calls (Vulcanus case) seems a bit excessive from such a change even though I know nothing about Factorio's codebase.Harkonnen wrote: Wed Jul 15, 2026 1:56 pmaccording to FFF worms got revamp on 2.1, could be an issue. on texture arrays - back in those days they were abandoned for hw limitations, probably still isSteveofDoom wrote: Wed Jul 15, 2026 1:29 pm The most bizarre thing to me is that it's a 2.1-specific issue. I've never had framerate issues prior to 2.1. I would think texture arrays are a given with the amount of sprites this game has.
Is there something about rendering Gleba that changed compared to 2.0.x? I haven't really noticed any difference visually (except stromatolites ofc), but definitely noticed the performance gap and it's all about decoratives.Rseding91 wrote: Wed Jul 15, 2026 2:50 pm Gleba is problematic because several decoratives are configured to render in the same layer as trees, and trees are in their own atlases for the shader effects. The design of Gleba goes against batching in general - it wants several layers never meant to interact to interact.
According to the name of the file, Factorio is using the software renderer. Make sure to install a graphics driver for your GPU/make sure that it works.rayhem wrote: Fri Jul 17, 2026 7:53 pm I'm still seeing tremendous performance regressions when I jump from stable (v2.0.77) to experimental (v2.1.11), getting about 5.3fps. Even the title screen lags, though this appears to be dependent on the window size (performance improves if I shrink it down). I've attached
I don't know why v2.1.11 isn't picking up the graphics driver, but I definitely have one set up.

Have you done any distro updates recently? This sounds vaguely reminiscent of 129517.
