Steam Fps Drops Caused By Dispatcher??

Today I did a few runs on the Birmingham-Crewe line. On a few spots a noticed a lot op Fps drops from 60-50 fps, to 20-10 fps. First I thought is was GPU related, but when playing with different settings I didn't noticed any effects in fps.

What I also find out, that even in the places like Crewe or Birmingham I could get the same high Fps with al the same trains in the view as when I encounter fps drops.

I am now suspecting that the dispatcher is causing these fps drops, why? The timetable uses probably some calculation. At the moment I encounter a drop, I hit the Escape butting, wait in the menu. After a short moment the Fps go's back up and everything is back to normal. Maybe DTG can take a look in this? Or is this caused by new trains loading in the tiles?

 

Are you sure it's not just tile loading stutter? If it happens in the same set of locations every time then it could be, but if it happens at random locations then it might be something else as you say.

 

But why would a tile load when I am already on a fully loaded tile, like Crewe station. After a few minutes a get a sudden drop of fps and then everything is back to normal. Or there is tile edge in the station it self?

 

If you're getting these stutters at the end of a run at Crewe, then I don't think it'll be a tile loading. If you're getting the stutter in Crewe at the start of the run then it might be a poorly placed tile loading zone (though I find that rather unlikely).

Really, it shouldn't happen at the ends of a route so it probably isn't a tile loading stutter.

Tiles are loaded far in the distance as you go along a route so you shouldn't see it happen right in front of you (except for the stutter). You also shouldn't get a stutter when you're stationary. But again, if it's happening at Crewe then it's probably not a tile loading issue.
