After updating the traffic generation system (vehicles and pedestrians), the old spawn and density settings were no longer effective. As a result, we had to fine-tune the balance to ensure traffic flows naturally and seamlessly.


To improve performance, we implemented frame skipping for pedestrians that are far from the player. However, during testing, we noticed this effect occurring more frequently than intended, so we’re continuing to refine it.


We also tested a method for removing grass and other vegetation inside vehicle interiors. Instead of implementing grass bending, we decided to go with a clipping method to achieve a cleaner visual result.

Work on these features is ongoing, and we’d love to hear your thoughts! Share your impressions in the comments!

Step 1: Performance Analysis
First, we measure FPS - from launching the game to entering the city. There are some places where sags are noticeable, so we need to figure out what exactly is causing the lags.

Step 2: Search for problems
Next, we look into the profiler and study in detail what processes load the system and slow down the frames.

Step 3: Optimization
After a thorough analysis, we begin the long but important work - optimization. We fix key issues, eliminate bottlenecks, and... the result speaks for itself!

Step 4: FPS Improvement
After optimization, the performance in some places has significantly increased, and most of the lags have disappeared. Now the game runs smoother, and the driving process becomes even more comfortable!
