Things I've noticed about my BVE framerate...

error46146:

1) More tracks = worse frame rate
For some strange reason, whenever the route has more tracks, my frame rate goes down. For example, when I'm on the A, my framerate is pretty decent at the beginning between Dyckman and 168th where there is only 2 tracks. But, when I get down to 145 it gets bad, really bad at 135th Street, and god help me at 59th columbus circle and West 4th Street. Same thing on the E, at the beginning after Jamaica Van Wyck after it goes up the hill to connect to the F line, that's when the framerate is terrible and it's terrible all the way until 23 Ely when there are 2 tracks again.

2) More platforms = worse frame rate
Like I said before one of the worst frame rate spots for me is 59th Columbus Circle on the A. I'm thinking it's because of that extra platform in the middle.

3) Those lights with the shade things = worse frame rate
Like you know how on the FRT 11 and 12 line all the station lights they have this white translucent shade thing coming down from the top? That's why my framerate is terrible.

4) My computer doesn't like certain routes
For example the T by Jay Jay looks pretty good and I don't see any of the above 3 but my computer still hates it for some reason.

Anyone care to explain?

Give me your compmuter spece, then I might be able to help.

More Tracks means more paths that are possible, if you use BVE Route Randomizer and set alternate paths to 100%, you can see all the possibilities that the train can take, which usually means the other tracks.  More paths, means more CPU power, even though they are being unused.

Extra platform means one more thing to render, but I doubt it.

The lights that actually shine, with translucency makes the CPU work harder, translucency itself are visual effects, and causes things to slow down.

My computer blue screens on certain routes, like the FRT 12, it really gets me pissed something I dont understand either.  Once I get to the middle of a certain route, the computer gets slower, and eventually freezes, then a few minutes later bluescreens.

Well those are my explanations.

The A BETA is my problem. I hit 60 km/h on it, and I get a BSOD, my computer screen is ,essed up, and my video card is shot till I restart my computer.

BVE really needs to have these things optimized, its graphics engine, is fair, but takes up alot of memory, and CPU usage, which kills the system..  But it is a simulator..
