I’m having a really strange issue with my editor and game.
When I use PIE (Play In Editor) my framerate is roughly 7 - 8 FPS and when I build the game and play it as a standalone it runs at 3-4FPS (5FPS max so far, which I find really strange that the editor runs faster than the standalone build).
The level isn’t overly big and there a couple of 2048x2048 materials, some post processing (Global) and a directional light (utilising a lightmass volume). The majority of the level assets are BSP so far also (as I’m awaiting assets to be made, so placeholders have to be uses currently).
Any help on the matter would be great. I know it’s a common topic and I have turned my scalability down as well as putting my settings to low to get the best performance.
I’m not sure whether my hardware is bottle-necked or the issue can be resolved by another means.
