Please see https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/6823 Players need to be able to select more than 200 units at once, but not too many, otherwise lag. So 300 is a sweet spot. Type: GUI. Can be done with a simple compatible mod but why not just commit it as a default feature ? Already tested. Still quite smooth for 300 units, serious lag starts at 400.

Event TimelineComment Actions Maybe it should be a game option instead? 300 is likely to be more problematic than 200 on a lot of hardware Comment Actions Last updated with rP9745, given that the default pop is 300 this change seems reasonable. As for performance, using 600 (double the suggested value) I only see an acceptable impact on rendering speed due to those extra selection circles, health bars, chevrons, etc., selection itself is still feels instantaneous. Comment Actions Thanks Freagarach, was wondering why it wasn't an option already :P Ideally I think this would need a little more testing, but I believe we still have some rather slow code during GUI updates. I'm not sure 300 is much worse than 200 though, and the 'max pop' argument makes sense to me. Comment Actions Right, the selection pop matching up with the default max pop has a kind of logic to it. |
