The AMD ...The problem consists of processing power. The AMD e2-1800 series is a 1.7gHz 2 core processor. You can get them for 20$ pretty easily. That's half the processing power of an Intel Xenon from 2003. Or what would've been top of the line in 2001. Granted, yes it can run games easily, just not at a consistent framerate. Since the CPU is quite limited, the RAM will get clogged up waiting for the CPU to deliver instructions to the motherboard. With those specs in mind, it would take 1.5-2bg of ram atmost to run your game in a high stress enviroment. I.E. antimalware executables running, + McAfee, +Windows Services, + applications from your motherboard manufacturer that are necessary. (In tests I had nearly 2gb of ram used up with all of those running. Your game takes up anywhere around 9% to 17% of my processor's clockspeed (keep in mind my processor is about 6 times faster than anon's).<br /><br />First thing, Uninstall McAfee, antimalware executable does it's job very well, just don't download stuff from sketchy sites.<br />Seconds, if you can update your cpu I recommend a i5-8400 or AMD A10 series (both very affordable and can run Borderlands 3 at 30fps on medium graphics).<br />Third, the best thing you can do with update your RAM chip, so it can store more information as your processor slows down. That will help a littlebit, but not as much as buying a new processor completely. Also, your version of windows will affect all those values as well.

The game should also only be taking up about 150mb max of ram, when it begins. All of the lists of areas and enemies are created when the game starts. The only thing added to ram once the game is running is when new objects are created (the fruit.)<br /><br />So I'm not really sure what to make of the problem you're describing.Kyrieruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876819587515800795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-51579623032393738772019-12-17T13:16:52.790-08:002019-12-17T13:16:52.790-08:00Every time, fruit drops do add to the RAM usage, b...Every time, fruit drops do add to the RAM usage, but that's to be expected. Obviously the more fruits and enemies on the screen, the more CPU is used, and AMD processors tend to dump a lot into a RAM chip compared to Intel CPUs. That could be an issue. All CPUs are essentially useless once there is no RAM to cache data to. It's not a huge issue since your game takes 1.5-2gb of RAM to run atmost. As I said prior, the issue does fix itself after a brief period.Xanditnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-47985118018425665822019-12-17T12:06:34.704-08:002019-12-17T12:06:34.704-08:00Does it happen every time, or only when an enemy d...Does it happen every time, or only when an enemy drops fruit?Kyrieruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876819587515800795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-25132117535951162872019-12-17T10:52:45.761-08:002019-12-17T10:52:45.761-08:00That appears to be a RAM issue, I ran a test and f...That appears to be a RAM issue, I ran a test and found my ram spikes for a good 10-20 seconds after an enemy dies, it's not much of a peak for someone who is running 32gb of ram such as I, but it can be impactful to someone with only 4gb available (consider that windows 10 uses 2.2gb on my setup, it could be the same for any other person). I'd recommend buying a new ram card or chip. I'd recommend Corsair or Samsung, as they have the fastest write speeds as far as RAM chips go, but if you would rather have faster read speed (i.e. you do a lot of coding or graphic design, HP is also pretty good). An enemy dying results in a about a quarter of a gb on average but varies quite a bit obviously. <br /><br />Also, I'm sure you're aware of this, but if you hit an enemy that is hit by another enemy or item in the same frame, the enemy/item that hit the enemy you hit flies away. It's hilarious but I don't think it's intentional. Also the same happens occasionally to the enemy being hit instead of the item/enemy dealing damage.Xanditnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-41111773078913112662019-12-16T15:10:44.201-08:002019-12-16T15:10:44.201-08:00Does it tank the first time an enemy despawns or o...Does it tank the first time an enemy despawns or only after multiple?Kyrieruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876819587515800795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-3492927939020686932019-12-16T07:42:27.174-08:002019-12-16T07:42:27.174-08:00Great work on the new update.

I always quite enjoyed your musical pieces ever since i found your Kurovadis game, they're all wonderfully made compositions, even if they're a tad small and are clearly inspired by other games.<br />A bit of a bug report here however, i don't know if you've been told before or have noticed. After enemies "despawn" (eg: are slain either by you or their own stupidity and fade away) the game has a fit and decides to tank heavily in performance, dropping from 60FPS to nearly 25-22 or even lower if let on for too long, as if the mere action of removing them from the game is causing a memory leak. This is solved by leaving and reentering the area, therefore reloading all assets in the instace. I should also note that i've tested and this doesn't trigger just by staying on an instance for too long without doing anything else, it only does as soon as an enemy or a group of enemies dies.<br /><br />If they're of any help, my specs are quite a tad old but they should do more than suffice for the game's requirements.<br />CPU: AMD E2-1800 APU with integrated AMD Radeon HD 7340 Graphics - 1.70GHz<br />RAM: 4GB DDR3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-507983610247475332019-12-14T05:28:03.449-08:002019-12-14T05:28:03.449-08:00I can see ways to prevent a fail state.
First of ...I can see ways to prevent a fail state.<br /><br />First of all, having some food in monster/bandit houses. You may need to play run/hide and seek to get it before you escape, just like getting your items back from a chest if they're stolen from you, but that could help getting back on tracks.<br /><br />The second option is a rare chance (greater if close to a safe zone/village?) for benevolant NPCs to find you before monsters do. Classical case being a nun, everyone likes an innocent nun and saving them from monsters, right? Some adventurers may take a payment in your wallet (or in nature) in the process of saving you but hey, at least you wake up at an inn with breakfast served!<br /><br />Monster would like safe zones to do their things too I guess, so one with food nearby could be where you wake up if they got no den/cave/house.<br /><br />It's just like fast-travel events (meeting NPCs who are travelling), simple things that help the player and gives life to the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-53116614243681919902019-12-12T14:35:46.914-08:002019-12-12T14:35:46.914-08:00It's not that it wouldn't work, it's j...It's not that it wouldn't work, it's just more down to composition tendencies/differences. The easy way to explain it is that my melodies and style are a bit more jrpg ish. Long explanation is that my music is more lead melody centric with a lot of chord changes, not staying on the same chord progression for long. It's less about patterns/sounds and more about motifs that are drawn out and distinct, rather than having a lot of individual moments.<br /><br />For example in this song, the lead has a specific goal and direction, and the chords support it and change to match specific melodies. The lead is never really "doing things over chords" like you would if you were improvising guitar over a backing track, instead the two go hand in hand. <br />https://soundcloud.com/kyrieru/aster-engage<br /><br />Whether it's action, or ambiance, I tend to compose in this way. The only difference is the instruments, the tempo, the tone, etc.Kyrieruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876819587515800795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386214334999886956.post-35488897954176554672019-12-12T13:04:39.466-08:002019-12-12T13:04:39.466-08:00Here are some of my more melody/vibey stuff.
