GameThreadWaitForTask --> What task is waiting for?

Hi @3dRaven

@3dRaven

Seems the audio is processing after streaming taking up some resources. Maybe choosing other compression methods or audio formats could help speed this up?

All the audio files I’m using are in .WAV format. They are usually very small. Less than 100 Kb
The sounds usually last half a second or less.

Do you recommend that I use another specific type of format?

At the end of the graph there is a large spike of activity regarding what looks like a recursive package search

I think that’s because of the map changed (Return to the main munu).
When I leave the game this happens.

What looks like random in-game shader compilation. Maybe do a pre pass of shader compilations (show the shaders one by one in array on a polygon to have the engine pre-compile them before gameplay instead of when a effect suddenly needs a shader)

this might also fix some random stutters that occur with PSOPrecacheUnkown where it builds the graphics pipeline state mid game

This is the trace after compiling shaders. I see everything more or less the same as before.

or look into this to maybe teak the precaching in some way:

I take a look at it.

Not that much really stands out. No jarring errors. There is some calls to updating primitive scene info, maybe check if all of the unmovable parts of your level are set to stationary or static.

All moving actor meshes are set to Movable:

SceneComponent->SetMobility( EComponentMobility::Type::Movable );

Character movement comp takes a bit of a hit, maybe mover 2.0 could be an option in the future.

What is move 2.0?

Run the scene and do an F5 pass to check your shader complexity and try to get everything to green if you can, there are some deferred shading scene render nodes that might be able to be optimized.

Neither F5 nor Alt+F8 works… the keyboard shortcuts must be broken.

However, I see everything green except for some particle systems that are red.

Weapons have some translucent and emissive materials as well.

The only thing that is not there are the particle systems that are spawned when the game starts and the pawns. This occurs at the beginning of the trace. After this they are disabled until they are needed.

Thanks for the help @3dRaven
