FPS Drops while Deepbot is running
« on: March 22, 2015, 12:33:54 AM »
Basically here's the  issue.  When running deepbot on the machine I'm streaming on, ALL GAMES that I've played so far get this frame rate drop.  However, the drop only happens when i move my mouse quickly.   This does not help when i play games like OSU! and need to quickly move my cursor across the screen.  I've done some digging and it looks like other people have had similar issues.

The only reason this is a issue, is cause i decided to get everything setup to go through deepbot.  on screen-notifications, chat, etc, etc, everything.  However, from what I've been able to deduce the on-screen notifications launch locally to the url used.  So you would not be able to do the on-screen notifications and sounds on a separate machine.  Hence the dilemma that I'm facing now.  CPU usage does not spike when this happens.  it just kind of happens.  CPU usage normally while streaming is always around 50-60%

I have already tried affinity and this does not correct the issue.  Any insight or help with this issue would be awesome.

Actually after looking at it again. CPU usage DROPS when this happens.  It goes from its normal 60% range down to 30-40%

A few people have faced this issue - but we still have not been able to replicate it on our end or figure out what is causing it.

If you do manage to figure out what is exactly causing the issue, we can work to debug further.
Failing to identify the root cause, you have a few options....
1) Run Deepbot on a single core and see if it helps.
2) Run DeepBot from within a virtual machine (http://deepbot.deep.sg/forums/index.php?topic=2388.msg10915#msg10915)
3) Run DeepBot on another machine (http://deepbot.deep.sg/forums/index.php?topic=2419.msg11080#msg11080)

Regards,
Experts

i managed to track down the culprit.  Now, this probably isn't the issue for everyone as i have noticed that some people are running Nvidia cards. however, for me and possibly some others, it is HydraVision that is causing the issue.

Quick run down of how i know it is hydra vision.  i started out with OSU! open, a game that normally runs at about 300-700 fps when the mouse is moving quickly, but with the issue i was having drops to 1-4 fps. when moving the mouse quickly the frames drop. they even drop with my Wacom tablet but not as much nor as bad, however bad enough to make me fail.  so i started shutting programs and process' down 1 by 1 testing after each time.  it got to the point where all that was running was AMD CCC, windows, Chrome and my tablet, with ofc some other drivers and such in there.  So i went ahead and shut down HydraVision entirely.

after shutting down HydraVision i noticed no issue.  So i rebooted my computer and open up the normal software that is open when streaming.  i started OSU! and tested with HydraVision running on a fresh restart, frames dropped to nothing.  I turned HydraVision off entirely (HydraGrid, Desktop Manager and Multi Desktop)  and noticed no frame drop. I then turned all three on individually to see if it was one specific one causing it.  here are the results

with HydraVision off entirely on the OSU! Menu, frames drop to 270fps from 600-700 *normal drop, on a beat map it is not this bad*

With just Multi desktop on, frames drop to 70-100fps from 600-700
with just Desktop Manager on, frames drop to 40-80fps from 600-700
with just HydraGrid on, frames drop to 100-150fps from 600-700

with only HydraGrid off, frames drop to 10-20fps from 400-450
with only desktop manager off, frames drop to 30-50fps from 550-600
with only multi desktop off, frames drop to 20-40fps from 500-550

after re-enabling all 3 aspects of HydraVision the problem returns and frames drop to 1-6fps from 400

I have already run a few test songs after disabling HydraVision and had a virtually flawless play through every time.

not to seem like i am trying to necro this topic.  But, after updating deepbot today this issue has returned.  with all hydravision aspects off.  i will try to track down what is causing it now but figured i might as well put it out there.
