Fancy Lighting

Causes immense lag with any lighting intensive overhaul like calamity/infernum. Lagged my skeletron infernum bossfight down to 40-35 fps, uninstalled the mod and i was back up to 140 (using a mod to unlock fps without impacting game speed). Looks very pretty, but jesus christ my man

lags my 5070 on ultra

ultra mode lighting is so pretty for building, i love it

Damn this makes the game pretty!
Downloaded, Set to Ultra, Enjoying it!
Zero lag so far but then again I'm not running any of the overhaul mods like Calamity or such.

and it was this mod

Either this mod, realistic sky, or lights and shadows is causing MAJOR lag, it used to work fine (i was using an Intel at that point, now i'm using the nvidia mx330, although i think it's instead now using the iGPU) below 1 fps, frame skip off does nothing, even happens when game is paused, I was running it at 4k on my other pc, now I am running it at 720p, still below 1fps, I need atleast 25 fps, a decent amount (people complain about 60fps, i find that stupid cause the eye can't tell a difference between 60fps and 48fps)....... the integrated gpu is the also the intel iris xe graphics. I tried using '/gldevice: D3D11' in the launch params to use the gpu with the directx 11 backend, but no luck, and also, I'm too lazy to code my own optimization mod, and this mod disabled nitrate's experimental render (found it in the source code, don't ask how i got it), if I was not lazy, i would just code the entire optimizations and force it to use direct x 11 for all graphics,

I'm glad you're enjoying this mod! Unfortunately, I think increasing the frequency of lighting updates would have a large impact on framerates. Terraria computes lighting only once every four frames (at 60 FPS; I'm not sure how High FPS Support affects this), and tiles, non-solid tiles, and walls are rendered on separate frames in a 4-frame cycle that also includes some other things. If we wanted the lighting to update every frame, there would not only be 4x as many lighting updates, but tiles and walls would also need to be rendered 4x as many times. This would likely reduce performance significantly.

That's actually one of the best graphic mod available on TML. Vanilla Terraria surely need this. But I've stumbled upon an irritating (for me) thing. Is there a way to increase refresh rate of the lighting? Because I see that it refreshes not every frame. There are some frames where the lighting doesn't update according to my position, which is really annoying to my eyes for some reason. I'm playing at 300 fps, so maybe it's because of the frame rate. Is there a way to increase the refresh rate?
Still, an excellent mod! From Russia.

holy moly rtx terraria

I see, thank you for looking into it
