generation starts to slow significantly after some time

when generating chunks, chick generation for me goes from taking about 2.5 seconds to over 10. cpu usage also drops proportionally. images in the thread

this is on a world a few minutes after initial chunk loading

and after some time, it climbs to take closer to 10k ms and cpu usage lowers

this seems to be temporarily fixed after restarting the game

for reference heres the cpu usage graph

anyway im leaving it on overnight to stability test my pc (dh is really good for this) and if its still working ill send what the time is the bug seems to be sorta 50/50 though so we'll see

rejoined the game and now its even better somehow

I've noticed this sometimes in the past, but much more so with chunky than DH. Sometimes it likes to use more or less RAM too
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
im not using chunky, i should mention
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Didn't think you were. From my experience, DH is fine to run with Chunky installed, but I find chunky can't run with DH installed (it generates the LODs still or likes to hog threads maybe) If the chunks were already loaded, I think they'll gen faster than the ones farther out that haven't been... or did you test on a fresh world?
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
this was after already generated chunks loaded and it was visibly generating them
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
And if you save and quit the game, it'll process the already-done LODs when rejoining first (faster) then once it catches up to the edge of where it's gotten to and then start genning that (slower) I think you probably understand that already though, but thougt I'd mention it just in case ^
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
yeah all these measurements are from after its fully loaded and rendered everything
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Ah, so like the LOD loading speed? Not the generation?
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
no im on about generation like, generating chunks from the seed, not the disk
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Does the ETA stay (relatively) constistant once it's going for a bit? I know some chunks (mountain) will be harder to load than others too (ocean), but it shouldn't be 3-4x
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
no it increases over time
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
What about your memory? Also increases?
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
its stable under 16gb
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Dang, I was thinking could be a memory leak with some mod... but if it's stable under 16GB, hmm
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
generation speed and cpu usage just drop
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
And you're on I Paid For The Whole CPU?
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
well DH did have a memory leak once before, and i caught it using 88GB of ram before i stopped it, though its unrelated to this bug and patched now yes
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
You could try installing spark and doing a memory heap dump just to make there's no others
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
nah memory usage is fine now
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
I had Lithium cause one for chunky for me in 1.20 I think What CPU do you have?
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
9950x
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
7950X 7950X3D 9950X or 9950X3D? I see
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
an 64gb ram
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
So no 3D cores to interfer.. there goes that idea Sometimes there's a BIOS setting where it'll only use half for games
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
its a DH thing for certain, my system overperforms by quite a lot theres a setting to disable SMT and 1 CCD but you can see in the btop screenshotthat 32 threads are enabled and in use, so thats not the case
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Send your full mod list if you could If you don't have c2me, maybe try installing it to see if it fixes the usage? Same with Noisium
chickenbobbobba
chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
im not at my pc at the moment but i will farly soon thats a thought theyre mostly just vanilla+ mods, eg lithium, sodium, tweakeroo, starlight etc
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Same

You could try a basic profile with 4 mods (DH, sodium, c2me, noisium), see if that's any better. If so, then it's probably one of the mods slowing everything down...

chickenbobbobbaOP2w ago
i mean there are no known incompatibilities in there at least to my knowledge i could maybe
Stephen5311
Stephen53112w ago
Yeah, but there could be bug incompatibilities, you never know :shrug:
