Chapter 46 Chicken Blood Level Optimization

"Chen Ba, are you coming to the secondary school party the day after tomorrow? We haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Next time I'll definitely..."

After looking at the WeChat message sent by his high school classmate, Chen Ba shook his head and decisively typed a rejection.

Why does a technical secondary school have gatherings every day?

If you really don't do it, you can call him the next time you have a graduate student party, and you won't join in the fun at the technical secondary school party.

It was said to be a technical secondary school party, but it was actually a joke. It meant that former high school classmates took advantage of their free time during the Chinese New Year to find a place to get together.

These are all repertoire.

Every year at the end of the twelfth twelfth lunar month, someone always initiates an initiative to invite classmates who have returned home to come out for a small gathering to eat, drink and reminisce about old friendships.

Chen Ba also participated two years ago, and he must admit that his classmates are all of good character. They are not like the snobbish and mean supporting characters in online novels, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Regardless of whether they are doing well or not, they all talk about the interesting and dark history of their high school days. The average AA system student is less than [-], no one is rushing to pay to show off their superiority, and they are having a lot of fun...

Unfortunately, due to the development work of the new game "Star Emperor", he cannot go back to attend the technical secondary school party this year.

Yang Dong didn't go home either.

Tianba Studio had gone on holiday two days ago, and the employees went their separate ways and would not return until the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Chen Ba couldn't go back, partly because the outsourced art resources of "Star Emperor" needed someone to connect with them.

on the other hand.

Two old games owned by the studio have participated in the Lunar New Year sale event on the Steam platform. Someone needs to keep an eye on the background and solve problems in a timely manner.

The reason why Yang Dong did not go back to celebrate the New Year was also very simple. He was afraid of being forced to get married...

Yang Dong stayed in Jiangning for his ex-girlfriend, but his parents didn't know about it. The old couple thought very simply. Since their son was separated, they should urge him to find another one!

"Instead of going home and being urged to get married, feeling annoyed but unable to refuse, I might as well stay in Jiangning to celebrate the New Year with you on the pretext of being busy at work."

"You're still weird!"

Chen Ba was speechless. His words were nice, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had nowhere to go during the Chinese New Year, so he might as well come to him to eat and drink.

It must be so!

What does it mean to be afraid of him being alone?Where is he alone?He had obviously made plans to have New Year's Eve dinner at Wang Kun's house during the Chinese New Year, but...

I hope uncles and aunts don’t mind adding an extra pair of chopsticks!

The Chinese New Year is very lively, especially at Jiangning Food Court, where you can see various folk acrobatic performances almost every day.

However, the excitement outside has nothing to do with the two people staying in the studio.

The 15-day Lunar New Year sale on the Steam platform has begun, with tens of thousands of new and old games discounted to send New Year blessings to players.

Among them, two games owned by Tianba Studio were also promoted at historically low prices.

Bundles are also available!
Under the temptation of historically low prices, the sales of both games have increased, and the average daily downloads have almost tripled.

The good news is, the studio is making money.

The bad news is that the development of new games has been suspended due to the holidays.

Chen Ba and Yang Dong could do nothing else but eat and drink in the studio, waiting quietly for the return of others.

Out of boredom, Chen Ba goes to the Dream Building Forum every day to see what others have shared about their experience in engine development and game optimization of Dream Building 5.

The focus is on visual effects!
"Star Emperor" is a game with extremely excellent visual effects, which is also the core selling point of the game.

Because the visual effects are excellent and skills in fighting games are used quite frequently, how to optimize them has become a difficult task.

In normal mode, Chen Ba and Yang Dong have tested it, and there is basically no problem. The game frame rate remains stable without reducing the resolution.

But "extreme sublimation" won't work.

Once you enter the ultimate sublimation mode, the game frame rate will plummet, and a graphics card with slightly inferior performance will directly freeze into a PPT.

Fluency is important!Especially for a fighting game, what kind of gaming experience is there if it gets stuck in PPT?Just stop playing!

In order to ensure that players will not encounter sudden frame rate drops when playing, Chen Ba has been working hard to optimize.

But it's a pity...

The optimization of such complex scenes is not something he can do alone.

Others don’t have very good suggestions. Apart from lowering the resolution, there seems to be no solution to this problem.

"The problem is, even if you adjust the game resolution to the lowest setting, you will still lose frames when Ultimate Ascension should..."

In order to solve the problem of frame drops during combat, Chen Ba used the system’s built-in optimization tools.

The system is worthy of being a system!
After the system's optimization, the situation is indeed much better. Even if the ultimate sublimation mode is turned on at ultra-high resolution, the image quality will be maximized without any sudden frame drops.

The number of frames may drop from 100 to 80, but it will never drop from 100 to 20. This is a qualitative leap!
With this god-level optimization, the game experience of "Star Emperor" has instantly reached a big level.

Worried that this was an exception, Chen Ba also pulled Yang Dong through multiple rounds of tests.

Finally came to a conclusion.

This optimization is really effective. No matter what the situation is, the frame rate will be locked at the bottom line of 60.

60 frames is enough!

Many players’ computers have low configurations.Under normal circumstances, it may not even have 20 frames, but it can be optimized to a stable 60 frames. This is already called black technology.

How did Brother Ba do it?
Yang Dong was shocked and wanted to know the optimization logic behind this, but no matter how he asked, the answer he got was always "commercial secrets."

good good!
All the trade secrets are here.

Although I don’t understand why game optimization can be so good, it is definitely a good thing anyway.

Originally, Yang Dong's biggest worry about the "Star Emperor" project was that it was too demanding on configurations, thus shutting out countless players.

This is not unfounded worry.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Brother Ba’s idea is a good one, but most of these games that focus on high-definition end up with very few sales because the recommended configuration is too high.

for example.

For two games of the same quality, a low-end graphics card can play smoothly, and a high-end graphics card can run smoothly. Which one will have more players?

Regardless of other factors, games that are better optimized, games with lower configurations are recommended, and games with low barriers to entry will definitely have the most players.

The creativity of "Star Emperor" is not amazing, nor is it difficult to implement. It is nothing more than an alternative fighting game that focuses on graphics and special effects.

But the reason why no one does it is because optimization is too difficult.

If we can achieve god-level optimization so that every player can play smoothly and happily, I believe no one will reject a game like "Star Emperor".

"That's right!"

Chen Ba nodded: "The recommended configuration threshold for our games will be very low. Computer configurations from four or five years ago can also be played."

Although you can only turn on the simple image quality, and the special effects and textures are all pulled down to the lowest... But you can tell whether 60 frames is smooth!
This is a stable 60 frames, not an average 60 frames that fluctuates all the time.

The gaming experience is already comparable to that of the console.

Even from a visual perspective, this steady 60 frames may be smoother than the fluctuating 120 frames.

of course!

No matter how great the optimization is, it is impossible to break the constraints of hardware performance, so what Chen Ba is talking about is the mainstream computer configuration four or five years ago.

If the configuration does not meet this standard and the hardware is older than this, there is really nothing you can do, and chicken-blood optimization will not work.

It’s hopeless, get a new computer quickly!
