[2022] MERGED: Bad performance

Hi everyone and sorry for the inconvenience! I've merged a few of the newer threads on low performance since the latest update to respond to everyone in one place.

Since we have seen a number of reports like this in recent days, there indeed appears to be a performance issue somewhere that we've unfortunately not managed to diagnose yet. If you would like to help us, sending us diagnostic data as screenshots could be useful – please read more in this quote from my colleague:

Originally posted by Regalis: Hello and sorry to hear about the issues your having with the game. :/

We have gotten some reports about decreased performance after the latest update (even though weirdly many players are reporting drastically improved performance), so it's most likely not an issue with your system. Unfortunately we haven't managed to pinpoint what's causing the performance problems yet.

Something that could give us more clues is if you enabled the in-game performance statistics and sent us a screenshot of what you see when the FPS drops. You can enable it by opening the debug console by pressing F3, and entering the command "showperf" in the console.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we can get this fixed asap!

You can send us those screens most easily as links posted in replies here, or you can send them as bug reports through GitHub, https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues. Once more, sorry for the trouble and thank you in advance for any extra information you can provide.
