Loss of framerate since the 1.9 update ?

Antonin · Apr 12, 2022

Am I the only who noticed that ?
Ok, I've a pretty big zoo :

I've 2700 guests and 300 animals. Before the 1.9 I was around 16 FPS and 29 FPS when I was pausing the game. It's low but enough to enjoy for me.
Now, I'm around 10 FPS and 15 FPS when I pause the game !!!
Do you also have this issue or am I the only one ?
Please Frontier, could you patch this performance issue ? I would love to play correctly again in my main zoo :'(

Yeah - something has changed - the performance is different - still awesome though

Antonin · Apr 12, 2022

Ah, sad but glad to hear I'm not the only one !
Frontier, please fix this on the next patch, please please please, it's pretty unplayable in big zoos !

Are we the only ones experiencing a very badder framerate since the last update ?? It's pretty unplayble right now

Sahara · Apr 14, 2022

I feel like it has gotten a little worse for me. On a side note that is a really nice looking zoo

I feel like every time after a major update, people complain the performance got worse. i would give it few days, I am sure Frontier will work on a patch after the Easter Holidays. Though for me, any big zoo is unfortunately unplayable, was always like that for me.

Indeed, I forgot about the holidays !
Hope this will be resolve in the next patch, thanks for reassuring words !

For balance, I am experiencing a much improved framerate in my zoo with 320 animals and 3,000 guests since the update! In fact it's so much better I've been able to lift the guest cap by 500.

Antonin · Apr 17, 2022

Oh waw, lucky !! I don't understand, it's so frustrating !!

I'm a little shock frontier or planet zoo teams doesn't make any announce or message for all the report send about the trouble until the 1.9 .

only a few message will be good.

a big error of communication I think and it's so frustationg to stay in the fog witout answer or info

It's a national holiday here in England, nobody has been at work since last Thursday. I'm sure they'll be working on some bugfixes when we go back to work tomorrow.

Except all the people who have worked...
like public transport, supermarkets, TV/media... you'll find there are probably more people at work than aren't during Easter (with the exception of Sunday).

I too have noticed a huge lag when playing from 1.9.
Radeon RX580 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 here.

Frontier won't have been so my point stands

Hinvolur · Apr 19, 2022

I have experienced loss of framerate and blurred textures on objects (not animals) since 1.9.

Aidan635 · Apr 19, 2022

Yeah I've definitely noticed this too. It's really hard to tell for me because I'm just starting out the zoo, but I have noticed a dip inthe frame rate. One thing to mention is the fact that the frame rate increases in an area with no animals in it. Then when I go back to an area with animals, like my Flamingo exhibit, it falls back down. Idk, just something I noticed.

Antonin · Apr 19, 2022

Please Frontier, could you resolve this issue :'( ?

And your evidence for this?
It isn't about who is wrong or right but your sweeping statement of "nobody is at work" is mis-leading at best.
No need to get so defensive.

I think you need to be careful when reading online that you don't infer a tone that might not exist - I agree you could read this as snarky but they could also read your original reply as defensive and snarky. Maybe best to assume goodwill on all sides especially as the original post was giving information to someone that they likely didn't have if they aren't based in the UK.

I don't think in this case evidence is necessary, it's a national public holiday and companies usually only pay staff on a public holiday if they are working in a job that is likely to be needed for public safety or because it's a good time for them to make a profit because usually they would need to pay more. It's also school holidays which means staff who are parents would take time off anyway to provide childcare. They didn't communicate over Christmas or on any other bank holiday, they've never released anything on a national holiday, I'm not sure why Easter would be any different.
