I am not sure, who it got to this point, but Dirtybomb is probably one of the worst games performance wise, including Skyrim and Day One : Garry’s Incident. UT under Unreal4 has better performance. Guilty Gear Xrd under Unreal3 has better performance and Blizzards OW has better performance.
I have an okay Rig. I can play dota2 and Skyrim at around 60fps not looking like shit. My Skyrim has shit ton of mods and custome scripts running and still looks and plays good. Whoever i have around 10-20fps in Dirtybomb on the lowest settings (minimal texture all things off), but the FPS go up to 120fps, when i watch multiple people fight in deadth came, but goes down to 4fps, when i move my crosshair. I get the feeling, that your game does not use my graphics card at all. MSI Afterburner shows some stupid low amount of useage for the gpu, but maximum for my cpu.

SD, your game is good. I like it a lot. This is the reason i put up with one of the worst performances i have ever witnessed.
Another rant is about your AWFUL gui. It has a stupid amout of waiting and loading time, that is independat from the overall game performance. I checked with a friend. He has the same awful gui and load-up experience. I made a protocol for startup:
0:00 (click on steam dirtybomb to start)
0:38 AntiCheat
0:50 DB splashscreen
1:11 blackscreen
1:15 DB Logo (triangle) loading animation
1:40 Grey Mainscreen background
1:50 top bar loaded
2:00 finally everything is loaded and the journey thru an awful gui, where every button takes 1-3 clicks and 1-3s time
protocol to join a game:
0:00 server info splash screen
0:05 main loading screen
0:20 1s black screen, than main loading screen again
0:57 map loaded, blue characters jumping around
1:11 Acc refresh (probably the 3 or 5 time and it takes ages)
1:25 i can now choose mercs, but loading a the merc selection screen takes up to 10 seconds and i don't see other team mercs. I choose my mercs before i entered the game. Thats the reason for the barracks...
1.55 i am finally in the game and get the awesome performance, that i described above. :(
SD please. My money is waiting. The game design is awesome. The software design is awful. :neutral:
Edit: nice colour choice for essential functions like code and spoiler! The gui makes much more sense now…>_>
