Turning off the FPS/RAM counters seems to make performance worse

Describe your bug here. If you are modding, try testing your bug in a clean version of the engine instead. Also, if you're using an older version of JSE, please try the latest version/action build. Also, be sure to check the pinned 'JS Engine: Known Issues' issue, to check if your issue hasn't already been found!

apparently, TheTrueAccount2 has told me that the game actually performs worse if you turn off stuff related to the FPS counter.

the videos below showcase the worse performance between the options.

FPS and RAM counters both off:

2024-12-27.20-43-48.mp4

FPS only:

2024-12-27.20-34-44.mp4

FPS and RAM counter (only RAM usage):

2024-12-27.20-46-00.mp4

FPS and RAM counter (both RAM usage and RAM peak):

2024-12-27.20-47-43.mp4

i'm not sure what the cause for this is, but i am working on finding a fix for it (if possible.)

Command Prompt/Terminal/Crash logs (if existing)

None

update: i appear to have fixed the worst porformance when turning off the FPS Counter entirely. RAM Usage has yet to be fixed

[StinkTheStinker]

maybe its because of the fact that it's updating the memory and fps every millisecond

i would just put a delay on the fps and memory update for, about 1 second

there already is an delay on them

[StinkTheStinker]

there is?

[moxie-coder]

there is?

there's literally been one a few months ago, and it got updated recently by d805b56

[StinkTheStinker]

oh

[SyncGit12]

aight my experience:

i tried this and the performance was the same!
just 400 fps no stutters

maybe because i have a fucking radeon rx 7700 xt

try making the counter's have a alpha value of zero when disabled, that could work

[moxie-coder]

wouldn’t have any effect since it’s still going to be updating in the background either way, it would have no impact

[SyncGit12]

yea

fps counter would still be updated in the background, so..
