Question Every scene in slow-motion?!

[Wolforano]

Heyho!

Lately I started downloading and playing scenes in VAM and I noticed that every scene is playing more or less in slow motion.

Is there any way to speed them up?

I already read about the setting "Physics Update Cap" to cause Slow Motion when it is set too low, but even on "3" it is slow-motion. The setting "Time Scale" under "Click for more Options" is also at 1.00 and cant be set higher.

Anybody any idea?

Reset to the default settings first to get started. Pick a simple scene from the hub, let us know which one and how many FPS you are getting.
Playing in Desktop or VR? What's your PC like?

Thanks for your answer

Where I notice this heavily is this scene: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/happy-game.4173/

But it also happens in other scenes, such as: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/little-bathroom-show-lite.11787/

Its just in VR. Its a lot faster in Desktop Mode. I get around 25 fps in VR for the first scene for example.

My PC specs are:

• MB: ASRock AB350 Pro4 AMD B350 So.AM4 Dual Channel
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8x 3.00GHz So.AM4 BOX
• Ram: 2x 8 GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3000 DIMM
• Graphics: 8GB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce 3X OC
• Cooler: EKL Ben Nevis Advanced Tower Cooler
• Monitor: 55" LG TV

I'd suggest you check your framerate: https://hub.virtamate.com/wiki/user_preferences_performance/ (performance monitor) if you have a slow framerate, and physics cannot run fast enough, the whole game will slow down so the right amount of physics frame can run. You can tweak the Physics update cap setting and physics rate to lower the requirements (read the description in the link). Another possibility is the time scale being lowered by a script, for example (in the main menu (click for more options in https://hub.virtamate.com/wiki/base_ui_breakdown/)

There's also a plugin that can help with fps in general: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/givemefps.1367/

Thanks Acid. With a faily light scene (https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/km262-striptease-on-the-table.10462/) I got those fps:

Setting high, physics update cap 3: 30 fps
Setting mid, physics update cap 3: 29 fps
Setting mid, physics update cap 2: 34 fps
Setting low, physics update cap 3: 37 fps (but looks awful)

With the "givemefps" plugin the fps went high indeed! 40 fps and it still looks really good.

Now I had another look into the scene I was mentioning, and I still just get 20 fps there and its all in slow motion. I think my CPU is just too bad to master that scene in the end, I don't think I can do anything there. The Time Scale is also always on 1.0, so its not lowered by a script.

So you have absolutely no problem with "slow motion" in that one scene? https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/happy-game.4173/

Lights, hair, clothing, influence a lot what you can get on a scene, but a 3rd person is a FPS killer ?

To cope with demanding scenes, I have givemefps and jayjaywon's ui assist as a session plugin. With UI assist I can check quickly the FPS I get and change to other givemefps modes when it gets too low. If it's a scene you go back often, perhaps consider optimising it a bit tweaking the lights, clothing, hair, etc.

Thanks for the hints!
