New Warehouse Room?

If you have encountered it you will know. The large open room with the blue floor that has some graphical glitch causing the game to become sluggish. How many of you would like the map with this room removed from the game until it is fixed?

Been in that room a few times and I've never experienced a slow down there. Not seeing the problem you're having.
Have you tried experimenting with your settings? Try turning ambient occlusion off if you currently have it on, it seems to really hurt performance. I turned it off a while back because of the seemingly random nose dives my FPS would take.

Describing the problem like that... I don't even know what room you are talking about...

For me the room is so bright it washes out most of the detail. I like it for large mobs that spawn close by. But I haven't seen the room in quite awhile.

For those who haven't noticed it, try turning your FPS on when you hit the room, and then exit the room. You'll probably see it dip by a little bit when you go in, and pop back up a few frames when you exit. For many people, this may not be a problem at all; going from 60 fps to 50 fps isn't even noticeable by the average human eye. Some of us don't get FPS anywhere near that high though. My FPS hovers around 20 during normal play. I'm on the low end of Ultra Mode and have just a few settings enabled for it. Going in the new warehouse room though, I drop down to 8-12 FPS. It's quite a noticeable decrease in performance for me. I suspect it has to do with the higher resolution of the textures being used on the new props in there, but I'm not sure that could cause that much of a drop. If it is what's causing the drop in FPS, I doubt I'll even be able to play the game on this computer after they upgrade costumes to use higher resolution textures.

This room drops my FPS to about 3. I have to face away from the room when I enter and fight.

I don't think there's any "fixing" it. It just has a completely absurd number of surfaces and objects that it has to draw. There are giant racks of hundreds of items all over the place.

I just wish they'd remove it from random rotation and stick it to the stuff they added it for. If I run into that room in a predictable fashion (such as during the new coralax arc) that's one thing. Running into it during a newspaper or tip however is not fun.

The reason why I brought this up in the first place is becuase I am concerned that if this level of quality becomes the norm, it will have serious negative impacts on the game. This isn't like a map 3 in the valley during waves of ambushes. This is a normally populated room that has what appears to be a grahical issue.

I know exactly which room it is. It's also used for Director 11's showdown. It has the same problem that the Praetorian labs did when they first came out; massive bloom. All that light just slows it down too much.

My comment was more toward Johnstone bemoaning his around 20fps and fretting over high resolution costume sets while still playing with some UM settings enabled rather than performance problems with that room.

Remember all the performance problems with Arachnos lab maps when CoV came out. They eventually got better, this should as well.

I play on minimal settings and this room takes me from around 20fps to 0.25fps. That's one frame every four seconds. If I'm lucky.

Sorry, bemoaning wasn't the right feeling I was going for, perhaps "resigned to" sounds better.

I'm a very old school gamer so even 15 fps is fine by me but 20-25 "feels" a lot smoother and I really don't notice the difference over thirty. It just struck me that you may be someone who had their options turned up just a tad to much, seeing that you had some UM settings on.
