2nd Performance Pass

Powerboat VR · published 18 Jun 2022, 14:49 UTC · build 8963837

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

1. All rocks now have LOD levels
2. Fornells harbour has been semi optimised
3. Fixed UI camera which was causing a slow down in VR
4. Cloud level adjust for better performance
5. Terrain LODs enhanced for better performance
6. Various other minor tweaks and fixes.

As a benchmark I now get 16-18ms render times in Maupiti harbour. This is on a VIVE PRO2 running at full resolution of 2536 x 2536 @ 120hz per eye in Steam VR on a 2080ti.

Gameplay feels perfectly smooth although there is some reprojection happening it doesn't seem to be noticeable in game.

The biggest variation of fps in VR seems to be cloud level. Denser cloud formations do cause a slow down. I will be adding some configuration options so you can tweak clouds to your liking/system specs.

It only really effected the smaller boats and you should find that they are now suitably buoyant! I've also tweaked some other physics settings such as rudder forces etc for many of the boats so they should handle more realistically at lower speeds. As always, the physics engine is a…Game update10 Aug 2022Fish Physics Update1. Updated all big fish to the same physics system as the boats so they now move a little more realistically than before. This includes the Bull Shark, Blue Shark, Sting Ray, Sunfish, Man o' War jelly fish and the new Clown Trigger fish. 2. You can now collide with big fish properly and they won't fly off into orbit! However, the Bull Shark is a big heavy fish so smaller boats may come of worse…Game update8 Aug 2022Sealife Update2 new species added to the fish pool... 1. Sunfish 2. Man 'o War jellyfish. The sunfish has similar A.I. to sharks and can usually be found swimming near the surface although they will also swim underwater. The Man o' War always sits at the water surface and doesn't move that much! I will be updating the physics engine for the fish to use the same buoyancy systems as boats. This should fix the…
