Nope the lag is horrible and i have a lenovo gaming pc (not trying to brag but that's pretty good) i think there is just way too much jammed into the map and that's why its laggy.

WITH DIRECTION AND MAGNITUDE OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting 30FPS max on any part of the map regardless of my view position :(
There are these console messages which I believe are the culprit:
R_DrawDecalsAll: overflowing m_aBatches. Reduce 1048576 decals in the scene. Too many vertex format changes in frame, whole world not rendered
My rig wouldn't be the issue, got AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 2080, can run heavy maps like rp_nycity just fine

I removed env_smokestacks and keyframe_ropes and got a 15FPS boost, killed env_sprites and got another +10, got rid of point_spotlights and now I'm at almost stable 60FPS. I think if you want to easily optimize the map, you have to start with these entities

Thank you for being the first person to provide useful feedback to help me resolve this issue. I'm already planning the v2 upadte and this is actually very helpful

instead of making a v2 you should make a lite version that has less overall detail elements and removed effects like the other guy mentioned and you should keep this version as the higher quality, more performance intensive version.

the map itself is definitely not too detailed to run because when I pause the game (freezing the effects) my fps is above 144 but theres just so much bloat and effect spam running at once that when its unpaused im literally stuck at 5 FPS on a RTX 3060 ti with 32gb of ram

How many frames do you get on gm_construct and how many addons do you have enabled?
