Why does this game perform so poorly?

Loving my new pc so far, its been able to absolutely destroy every game I throw at it

With the notable exception of AO, somehow in combat at medium graphics it can’t even reach a consistent 60 fps

Compare that to world of magic and arcane reborn, where you can fight 20 enemies at once and stay at a consistent buttery smooth 144 fps at max graphics, only falling below on the destruction of the silent tower, using vastira in wom, or getting hit with a water projectile in arcane reborn

AO so far has been the only game (on and outside of roblox) to fail to reach 144 fps that I’ve played on my new computer

Vetex has no idea how to optimize his code and it shows

Even world of magic performs 2x better though, and thats with the pathfinding and destruction memory leaks

Out of all roblox games, I’d say AO crashes the most for me

Every update the game seems to increase in overall lag, what the fuck is Vetex doing?

Gonna test later if raytraced wom performs better than medium graphics ao (it probably will)

His stove broke once and his family was forced to eat raw chicken and Vetex was the only one who survived salmonella and since then he’s been trying to deoptimize the game so that his fans don’t suffer like he did and use their PCs to process food instead

I would also like to add that the performance im getting in ao (1080p roblox) is comparable, if not worse, than the performance you can get on 1440p cyberpunk on my gpu (rx 6800)

I blame the dark sea tbh that shit is way too big for its own good

it’s not just fps

i believe it’s affecting the ping as well
i easily get < 100 ping in literally every game both on roblox and off roblox EXCEPT on ao

ao needs optimization desperately

I’m not even sure if that’s possible :sob:
I have to test this too

Nah it’s absolutely possible. Notice how when you load into a new game your ping is really high for a little bit? The more data your computer is receiving at once, the higher your ping spikes.

Hence why ao, with all of its huge number of parts and fx, fucking wrecks your pc and latency

60 FPS

wth bro the highest I’ve ever run a game in my life is like 30 maybe on minecraft

adding onto this, your computer still has to take a lot of time to process all that shit (e.g. all the parts memory leaks effects and stuff that tanks your fps) which is included on your ping when your client sends and recieves data to and from the server
(to my limited understanding on how games function)

arcane reborn lags so bad that every ui, even roblox ui doesnt load sometimes

Then in your case you need to upgrade your computer

Sounds like a computer issue, consistent 144 frames 0 lag for me

That actually does make sense, although on paper it doesn’t seem like it should be that much of an issue for a decent internet connection, I’ll have to look into how this stuff works a bit to see what can be done

Theres a pattern
When vetex says “optimized the game”, it actually means the opposite

If there is no optimization, there is optimization

yeah that take a lil something called money

when you take into account that multiple people say ao runs like shit on otherwise amazing computers
and the fact that i ONLY get > 100 ping on ao
yeah it seems like a pretty big issue
