Hello.
I need tips and suggestions setting up the Stepping iterations and Stepping mode in Physics. I think they may be responsible for some small lags in my game.
I get a small lag with the physics ( i think it's the physics ) in my game and I wonder why that is, and if I can do anything about it?
In my game, I have a player that throw an object - applying a force in a direction. Also applying physics angular velocity so the object rotates. It works very good... The object gets thrown and rotates in air, as I want. But sometimes when the object are in air, I get some kind of flickering lag. You know... it feels like flickering, like when you play a game and the screen cant keep up with the framerate. But also the object can slightly lag ( freeze ) for a very short while, and then "jump" a short distance - as if the object are synchronizing something?
However the game works pretty nicely with the performance - but I was wondering if I can fix this small problem?
When I'm testing at my computer in Firefox. I have 60fps most of the time. Sometimes it can drop down to 45-50, but only for very short moments.
This is a multiplayer game and I only have one single object with physics in the game. The players take turns throwing it.
I haven't change any default settings for the physics: Stepping iterations and Stepping mode. So I think they are set to standard as you can find in the manual for the Physics behavior.
I would be very happy if anyone with experience with these values could give some pointers what they feel works best - performance wise.
