My game will run fine while its daytime but as soon as night comes it starts to lag. Nothing will work properly including defending my home. Once morning comes everything runs great once again. I also have alot of buildings on my land and mining also. Mining is not effected by the lag at night at all which I found very strange. Anyway, I love this game!
Do you have a lot of structures, particularly ones with some sort of light source? The particles from lamps/torches can help bog down a lot of otherwise… unbogged down material.
I do have alot of structures with lights attached… 3 sleeping quarters, 5 cottages, and a two story structure. I removed most of the free standing lights but the game is still laggy at night.
Something is sapping your CPU usage. If you go into options, turn down the Lights to 1/0, draw distance to 500, and anything you can to help alleviate stress.
have you tried turning the shadows off at night? as they can be hard on the game at night, due to all those afore mentioned lights casting tons of shadows, and combine that with all the particle effects coming from those lights, and you have the perfect recipe for night time lag.
We could turn off the global lightning but would that down the calculation charge significantly? No idea…
I just turned the lights down to 1/0 and its much better now. I’ll do the draw distance next and that should do the trick completely. Thank you so much for your help!
