Framerate and Performance: Difference between revisions

6. If you experience lag spikes with no obvious cause in the game (you have a good GPU, reasonable graphics settings not too high, and plenty of RAM free) the cause could be [[Framerate_and_Performance#Causes outside Vintage Story|outside Vintage Story]]. For example, Discord seems to cause occasional lag spikes on some systems.

''Tip: You can troubleshoot the possible causes of lag spikes yourself by running the command <code>.debug logticks 50</code> and then afterwards examining the `client-main.txt` log file in VintagestoryData/Logs.'' You can ask a more experienced player or a team member for help interpreting the output.

7. If your settings seem well adjusted most of the time but you still experience occasional short, stuttering lag spikes especially when moving larger distances across the world, try '''increasing''' the Chunk upload rate limiter setting in Settings, Graphics manu - it's the last setting if "Show all available settings" is clicked. First try increasing it to its maximum setting, fly around the world some distance, and if that has fixed the lag spike problem, in slow steps bring the slider back down to a level which still does not produce lag spikes, on most systems somewhere in the middle is best. (The game cannot automatically adjust this setting, the correct value depends on the unique combination of your graphics hardware's capabilities, overall system speed, and other adjustable graphics settings such as view distance.)
