Does "Start With Tick Enabled" Affect Performance?

[Leomerya12]

Hello,

Yeah, I’m wondering this, because, apparently, Blueprints run ticks even if the EVENT_TICK is unpopulated.

Should I disable this setting or does it not matter?

hi, @Leomerya12 ,you could try to spawn 100 or 1000 actors to test with or without tick enabled.see if the frame rate has any difference.

Personally I guess it doesn’t have much difference.I didn’t test it.because I pretty like to use tick .

You want me to do MORE work!?

Okay,I just tested it ,spawned 1000 actors at default 3 person template .
The actor only has a cube mesh,no collision.
With tick enabled. From 120fps drop to 80.
without tick enabled.from 120 fps drop to 110.

I think it does have some affects.

i didn’t do much,just spawned 1000 of them.you could try spawn more.my computer suck…can’t do that
