RPG Maker MV Lag Solution

Archeia · 2015-10-24T22:49:04+0900

OK everyone. This topic is to help you all to fix your lag issues and as such, please read the following! However, if nothing works, I'm afraid that you might need to buy a new PC or parts especially if they're made before 2009. (Especially PCs/GPUs build before 2009, see below) Of course, if the driver can still be updated and it was made before 2009, it could still work. But no guarantees. UI/Editor Lagging If I see it right, MV uses QT with QtQuick, so no native components. I am not sure which graphics system is used since QT supports multiple but it could be also related to OpenGL, so if the graphics card or driver doesn’t support OpenGL it could result in lagging. Game/Test-Play Lagging MV uses NW.js for offline PC/Mac games and also for test-play. It uses PIXI.js which is based HTML5 Canvas/WebGL. So the same problem with OpenGL, if its not supported everything will be slow. Except on some browsers like Firefox, Chrome, etc. since they are able to map the OpenGL calls to DirectX/Direct3D calls using ANGLE. That would explain if the web-demo works fast but the test-play not for some users. NW.js also supports that since it based on Chromium, but sometimes its not working, for example if the DirectX 9.0.c Redistributable is not there or if some DLLs are missing. But there is an additional problem, because Canvas/WebGL doesn’t support some GPUs/Drivers because they are on the GPU black-list to avoid crashes, etc. You have to keep in mind that HTML5 is actually a Web-Technology, so stability & security is very important. HOW TO SOLVE You should try the following steps. 1. Check that your graphics card supports OpenGL. 2. Go the website of your graphics card manufacture (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.) and download & install the latest driver for your graphics card. Make that the driver supports OpenGL. 3. If the games are still not running fast after these two steps, you should try to edit the package.json and add the following line: { "name": "KADOKAWA/RPGMV", "main": "www/index.html", "js-flags": "--expose-gc", "chromium-args": "--ignore-gpu-blacklist", "window": { "title": "", "toolbar": true, "width": 816, "height": 624, "icon": "www/icon/icon.png" } } The package.js can be found in the installation directory of MV: On Mac its in: /Users/ /Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RPG Maker MV/RPG Maker MV.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs-mac/package.json On Windows: /nwjs-win/package.json 4. If that is not working or if the game crashes, try install DirectX 9.0c Redistributable package: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 5. Make sure your laptop is set to High Performance! Remember to restart RPG Maker MV after! 6. If all these steps are not working, please let us know and check this information from WebGL Wiki: Windows: • On all versions of Windows, WebGL is disabled on all graphics drivers older than January 1, 2009. • Additionally, on Windows XP, WebGL is disabled on ATI/AMD drivers older than version 10.6, on NVIDIA drivers older than version 257.21, and on Intel drivers older than version 14.42.7.5294. • WebGL is disabled on NVIDIA driver 6.14.11.9621 on Windows XP. • WebGL is always disabled on ATI FireNV 2400. • WebGL is disabled on Parallels drivers older than 7. • WebGL is always disabled on S3 Trio cards. Mac: • On Mac OS X, WebGL is disabled on: • ATI Radeon X1900 • NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT • Additionally, when an external monitor is plugged in to a Mac OS X laptop, multisampling is disabled because of rendering corruption bugs (http://crbug.com/237931).

Experiencing 'lag' at regular intervals in-game with a 27x15 map filled with water and a small island in the middle.

The larger the resolution the more pronounced each 'lag spike' becomes.

• GPU is OpenGL compatible
• All checks by card provider (ATI) says drivers are up to date
• JSON edit done without improvement
• Redistribution package installed without improvement
• On desktop PC. Resource monitor reading < 60% CPU usage with no visible CPU spikes and full CPU utilization (no throttling)

SOLVED

The NeonBlack CP_Large_Sprite_Fix plugin was causing pretty much 100% of my lag. I turned it off and i now get 60fps. There's still some studder going on here and there, but otherwise things are smooth smoooth smooooth. Don't know what it is about that plugin, but for my case, it was most certainly the problem.

SOLVED

I'll look into if it works better placed in different parts of the plugin list.

After i see how everything responds to Windows 10

I suggest posting it the script support section with the plugins name and just repeating pretty much what you said here so the author can maybe look at it later.

Okay, and now the final dredges of lag have gone.

Somehow, between last night and this morning, the minimal but slightly annoying Editor Lag is gone, as if it was never there.

Now my craptop behaves exactly the same as my beefy desktop does which is aaawwwwwesooooooomeeee.

Also ordinary playtest outside of Firefox is lag-free, as if by magic.

And it's at this point I leave the 'RPG Maker MV Lags' party.

I've got me a game to make!

See ya!

EDIT:

Is it Water Autotiles causing that erratic behaviour?

Probably.

I know 2 things so far that lowers my FPS from 60 to 30.

1. A lot of Autotiles

2. Pressing F4 to go in full screen (Default Resolution)

Full Screen with default resolution actually sends me from 60FPS to 30. =.=

Did everything as instructed, still lagging.

Lag during tile placement (Holding down mouse button to map, there is a noticeable lag between 1st and 2nd tile placement, then the rest place smoothly)

0.5~2 second lag while switching between Database tabs

Massive lag when playing on a map with lots of autotiles / water tiles
I'm getting this except the in-game lag. Playtesting works fine for me. I've done everything in the OP. I updated my GeForce drivers yesterday for Tales of Zestiria. =P

Editor lag is really annoying. (So is how autotiles work different than Ace but that's not really a performance thing.)

Yes, autotiles are not working as they should, you can see those constant spikes, fill any medium size map (40x25) with water and try again.

Still, they said that the autotile issue should be on another thread, this is to fix the editor lag. (Still not solved here)

I filled a 27x28 map with mostly water to get that reaction.

Normally its straight across FPS, no jumps.

Not only do I get the database lag when I place a tile, which isn't really a big deal for me, but whenever I play test the game, even on a 4x4 grass tile map and nothing else the game gets reduced to 50% speed, no plugins no nothing. I've followed every "fix" in this thread and nothing has helped, and as time goes on I get more and more frustrated with this.

intel core i5-4670

8gb ram

windows 10 - 64 bit

nvidia geforce GTX 760

there's no reason for this to be my machines fault, it's well built and my laptop from like 8 years ago runs rpgmaker mv with no issues. Very, very frustrating.

I don't get any lag on a 256x256 world map when using the default resolution 816x624. But when I use 1920x1080 I get massive lag

when the player is cutting corners while pathfinding to where I have clicked. Other then that I see small lag in the editor but nothing that makes it unusable. I just hope they fix the lag in-game when using a higher resolution. :)

Specs:

intel core i7 4702MQ CPU @ 2.20GHZ

12 G installed RAM

I am not sure if this is proper tread - but LOT people has also EDITOR lag and crashes while edit database (when setting parameters of skills etc..).

In my case - i solved this issue.

Problem is related to REGIONAL SETTINGS for some not english native windows. In my native regional settings, decimal separator is comma (,) instead of decimal dot (.) - like you have PI constant 3,14 and not 3.14.

After changing this single "," to "." all my lags dissapeared.

sorry for my english I am not native speaker :) .
