Source Filmmaker Lag :/

drelff3414 · 07-10-2012, 04:14 AM

I just got my Source Filmmaker key! Great! But unfortunately I run it very laggy. I just got a new computer. I've got an i7 processor, 8 gigs of ram, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card. Everything is up to date. I just have no idea why it lags so much. I get about 10 fps on double cross. Any tips on making run smoother?

This is a bug, remember it's in it's early beta stages. It's not even up 0.1.000.

drelff3414 · 07-10-2012, 04:19 AM

Any idea when they are going to fix this bug?

Stardust260 · 07-10-2012, 04:22 AM

Over time.

Its usually not a problem in game mode, or rendering.

Aaronmiles2 · 07-10-2012, 02:12 PM

I get the same problem, and I have the same graphics card. Runs absolutely awfully, even in Game mode. I can run standard TF2 maxed out perfectly fine.

I'm very depressed right now! I was looking forward to trying out all of SFM's features. Of course, it's only a beta...

This software is being used by the developers since 2007.

SFM seems to be one of those programs that seem to run differently with every computer. For me example, I get probably 60FPS whole time and my gear isn't really that new.

OS: Windows 7 x64
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 ~ 3,1GHz
GPU: ASUS ATI Radeon HD 6870
RAM: 8GB DDR3

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, there's another software also, they have the old one too.

Right click on Viewport, set Progressive Refinement off. That may help a little. Just remember to set it on before rendering.

You aren't the only one. SFM is practically useless with this problem. I have a 560 as well. Right clicking the viewport and clicking render settings turning off both procedural refinement and ambient occlusion has little effect and the problem is still there. I don't think it's an issue with weak hardware either as theres quite a few people having this problem on a range of hardware (might be a geforce problem?)

I've emailed Valve, got an answer, and waiting for them to answer again...
I've sent my details of my computer, hopefully they can fix it.

right click in the viewport and try disabling lighting i might turn your lag down dramaticly

I run on a laptop with on board graphics and an i3 processor. Good to know everyone can share the pains I deal with on a normal basis.

That being said, the lag isn't too bad from what I normally get. I still get cool videos.

Nah, this doesn't help at all. Right clicking the viewport and clicking render settings and turning off both procedural refinement and ambient occlusion makes little to no difference either
