Known Issues

Slowdowns

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: When using hardware rendering, at (some) faceoffs (generally at the beginning of the game) and after goals, the framerate can dip down into the mid 40s - however, once the actual gameplay starts again, the framerate jumps back to 60 - the game is NOT maxing out my hardware during framerate dips. Also, player shadows look a little wonky.
  • Workaround: On my particular setup, using the software renderer with 5 additional threads (using all 8 cores) fixes the framerate problems. Again, this is odd, since neither my GPU or CPU is being maxed out when using hardware rendering.
