Tilemap objects slowing down my game

Hi all,

As placeholders I was using Tiled Backgrounds to design the "floors" of my top-down shooter. I have recently re-designed my "floors" using a tilemap object (400px by 320px sliced into 16x16) with no Behaviours. This first tilemap covers the ENTIRE layout as it is functioning as a replacement for the tiled backgrounds. I also have a second tilemap of the same resolution and slice (16x16) on top of the other tilemap, used for detailing (placing items in rooms, for example).

Now whenever I load my game on Android I've lost about 20FPS. I've tried various troubleshooting guides / best practices with Tilemaps from the forums / help pages, but to no avail.

My only option seems to be re-creating 5-10 backgrounds, and having many individual sprites, to cover having some basic detail to my levels. Surely it isn't meant to be this way?

I can get my 50-60 FPS back by simply deleting the tilemaps *

Same problem here, can't find answers... Think that its good for graphic memory usage when having complex tiles, but worthless for any collision testing. And even so...

In order for this to be properly investigated, post a simple .capx that highlights the problem and we can then test it on our systems.

Otherwise, it could just as easily be a mistake in the way you are using the Tilemap object or in your Events somewhere.

If we can corroborate your findings, then it would be a good idea to post a full bug report for Ashley to investigate.
