Are you using High FPS Support to go above 60 fps?
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
Yes
But without nitrate i get like 40 fps
Can you post your client log

i get more fps in cyberpunk than terraria
my game also randomly crashes when its like rebuilding when i change my mods but besides having to relaunch it seems fine
might as well drop all the logs
The only errors I see are Gravity Doesn't Flip Screen conflicting with high FPS support
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
so why is my framerate low
It's something you can't really do much about, poorly coded mods lol
Only choice is to start disabling things
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
do u know which mods are poorly coded?
Based on what you are using, I'd disable any mods that deal with Lighting effects and see if that makes a difference
Also Infernum is the content mod that will tank your FPS the most
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
noooooo i really liked infernum
It's just not FPS friendly
You could always play the game windowed and reduce the window size
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
terraria is only using 40% of my gpu
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
also my underground backgrounds are flickering this green mossy texture

Some type of lighting error I guess
Also the game is more CPU bound, it is single threaded and can only use 1 core
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
yea i have a Ryzen 7 5800x3d
i should have pretty decent single core performance
How much FPS do you get with no mods enabled except high FPS support?
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
idk lemme test it
lol
500
if i click off it drops to 325
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
thats kinda crazy my mods are making me drop like 400 fps

other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
i disabled infernum and didnt see a performance change
i played it before and the only time i noticed it being coded poorly was when DOG was shooting 10 billion projectiles and my game was running in slow motion
i disabled both my lighting mods and my fps went up by like 10 :/
xenial-black•10mo ago
Complaining about 60fps sickens me
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
i get like 2 in the devourer of gods fight
xenial-black•10mo ago
That's reasonable to complain about
But that's partly also just what the devourer of gods does
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
uh no he isnt supposed to make ur game run in slow motion
He does that to everyone with Infernum
xenial-black•10mo ago
I've never fought him ever without that happening
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
really???
xenial-black•10mo ago
Yeah
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
what a terribly designed fight
xenial-black•10mo ago
My most recent playthrough is tanking like hell though and I'm still in prehardmode
I don't think tmod likes my 10 big content mods
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
either way i still want more fps when nothing is happening
i havent even killed a boss yet and i onl have 60-80 fps
xenial-black•10mo ago
60fps is not something to only about
everything further is an indulgence and a bonus
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
uh no
xenial-black•10mo ago
My pc is not terrible and I have 20fps max
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
my pc isnt terrible either i should be getting atleast 200 fps
without nitrate i get the same fps as i do in skyrim with 1800 mods
xenial-black•10mo ago
But without nitrate i get like 40 fpsWhat I would give for 40fps
Are you on a large world by chance?
xenial-black•10mo ago
Yeah
Try a smaller size world, IIRC the biggest cause of lag is due to Terraria processing so much world data every tick
xenial-black•10mo ago
Damn
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
Im on large
Try small or med and see if there is an improvement
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
But on the same world when i remove all my mods i get 300-500
:noway:
:shocked:

I was following this thread to see how it would play out, cuz i'm also having FPS issues, but apparently it is out of our control 😦
I remember playing heavily modded playthroughs in the old 1.3 64bits tmodloader, and i would get constant 60fps in every scenario with a GTX 660, core i5,12gb RAM. Now in 1.4 i can't get stable FPS with RTX 3080, Core i7, 32GB. 💀
Crazy how Terraria mods evolved...
But yeah, it is probably Infernum. I messed up with every single one of the 84 mods i'm using. And the one that alleviated the framerate was Infernum when turned off.
other-emeraldOP•10mo ago
ima just turn off my 2 lighting mods and suffer with the 70-90 fps and probably like 50 fps boss fights
