portrait is causing heavy FPS dropping
fafaraway opened this issue · 3 comments
normaly I have 120-150 FPS, but when I enter 40 people battleground, FPS drop to 30-50
I did alot testing, and found out the portrait element is causing this
when I disable portrait, FPS return to normal
is this normal or I miss something?
my portrait related code
local function PostUpdatePortrait(element, unit)
element:SetDesaturation(1)
end
if C.unitframes.portrait then
local Portrait = CreateFrame('PlayerModel', nil, self)
Portrait:SetAllPoints(Health)
Portrait:SetFrameLevel(Health:GetFrameLevel() - 1)
Portrait:SetAlpha(C.unitframes.portraitAlpha)
Portrait.PostUpdate = PostUpdatePortrait
self.Portrait = Portrait
end
You might want to tell us what unit frames you are putting those portraits on. 3D models in the 2D UI does come with a performance cost.
Is this player, target, all the raid frames, nameplates...what? :)
As a general rule I would avoid putting anything like this on frames there are very many of, like nameplates or raid frames. Only singular targets and smaller groupings like boss, arena, party works, really.
@Goldpaw yes, I use this on party/raid frame, so I guess I should only use this on player/target frame 😭
