Really low framerates when looking across the entire map
I just downloaded the map and am trying to enjoy it but I keep dropping as low as 30 fps when I look toward the middle of the map from the beam towers and the hangers. I don't know if this has to do with the grass or the portals not working correctly, but it is really nasty going from 120 fps looking in one direction and then down to 30 in the other.

Update: It isn't just those locations, it seems like it drops to the 30s if I'm looking at the map from anywhere that lets me have the whole map on screen.

Update again: So I lowered my graphics preset to original and that seems to let me go up to 120 again even when looking across the entire map. If anyone is having this issue then try messing with that. (Specifically the Details setting)

engine limitations maybe ?

This may be due to the grass render distance being too far. Mid to low hardware may struggle to render it all. I'll reduce the distance and it should improve the framerate.

I think that was 100% it, cuz lowering just the detail setting one notch fixed it completely.

Tbh, I think you should just reduce the amount of grass on the map entirely. Having so many foliage cards on screen at one time creates a lot of overdraw, which will be a big perf killer.

I'm getting fps dips to the low 60's on a 3080 when I can get consistent 400+ fps on the dev maps, just to give you an idea of how bad it is.

Yeah i use a old GTX 1080 with i7 9700, and my gpu usage is at 100% using the counter, so it's gpu usage being high causing fps drops, but, apart from that this is absolutely amazing!

This issue should be resolved now.

For those curious, the grass present around the map was rendering WAY too far when on 'Enhanced' graphics. The maximum distance I wanted it at was set for standard, then would increase beyond that on enhanced. I've reduced the default distance and the grass should perform well on (hopefully) all systems when using the enhanced graphics setting.

Just to update you, im still using an old GTX 1080, and it still drops under 60 if the entire level is in view in the hangar, on enhanced, but should be okay because i can just lower my setting to original instead, this is as of latest update, appreciate the map dude its amazing!
