#176 Performance degradation over time

Status: Awaiting review · Area: UI & Interface · Settings & Menus

Frame rate drops from over 120 to about 30 within minutes, even standing still, until you relog, and it also stutters.

Current behavior

Despite the release notes of the latest patch mentioning a memory leak fix, performance degradation is still present. The framerate drops significantly (from 120+ fps to 30fps) in just a few minutes even standing still in the same spot. Relogging temporarily restores the framerate, but it then starts dropping again. The frametime (time to render a frame) also becomes more and more irregular (and not just higher) as the performance degrades, causing a lot of micro-struttering.

Expected behavior

Consistent framerate.

How to reproduce

Just open the game and stand still in a major city.
