low fps?

[Former user]

after running the sample, my fps drops from 60 to 20. i figured it was the esp function, but as it turns out, commenting out EnableEsp() does little to improve the fps. what exactly is the source of the fps drop?

aside from commenting out EnableEsp(), no modifications were made and this is entirely stock.

I've noticed that too, I even tried adding delays in for something functions and still drops my fps hard.

An update, I haven't looked too thoroughly into this but it seems the fps issues are as a result of entities nearby (I'm guessing within the server broadcast area). If I'm in an area with a lot of players or objects I would get fps issues even if none of them are being tagged or even displayed on screen/field of view of the character. Ill look more into it but would appreciate anyone else's input on this too.

I see an fps drop immediately after injecting. However, when I disable the render hook, the FPS drop disappears.

In Hacklib or HacklibGW2? I disabled

Gw2HackMain::RenderHook

from GW2 hacklib but I still had the fps drop. I even tried adding delays to

Gw2HackMain::SetupAgentArray()

which from my understanding updates all the agents but did nothing to improve the fps.

Maybe @hairys can add some insight on this?

Are you sure you guys are running just the sample app without modifications (using current commit)? The only time I've ever seen any significant performance drop using the sample app is when there's a lot of objects in the vicinity. It slows down when it's drawing tons of text on the screen. Also, the sample app is more of a debug/test aid for us, more than anything else.

Yah I even tried commenting out the entire

GW2LIB::gw2lib_main()

function and I still notice a 20fps drop. It seems to always drop by 20-30fps no matter what your fps is at, when the game is in full screen I usually get 70-90fps so the drop isn't too noticeable, but in window mode I only get about 30-40fps so it drops to 15-20. However, I noticed high fps drop in places with a lot of objects too and even if I set it to not draw anything (disabled all the functions that draw). So I think the fps issue isn't actually related to the drawing though it is related to the number of objects/players near by.

@hairys I tried disabling the rendering functionality completely and the FPS still tanks. I’m sure if you were to do the same, and test it in DR or some other major city, you would notice your frame rate drop too.

I’m not sure what could possibly be causing the lag. Is there any tools I can use to track what functions might be responsible for this?
