Game and Plater version
Which is the game version and Plater version you're using?
Full /plater version output please.
Plater-v598-Vanilla - DF v586 - 1.15.5
Describe the bug
- Steps to Reproduce (what did you do to make the bug happen):
Walked into range of a friendly NPC with Title/Profession text, or turn the camera away and back towards them.
- Result (what happens when you follow the steps above):
Plater loads, playing grow animation
FPS stutters and drops by 20fps (e.g. from 90 to 68), and then recovers once the grow animation stops.
- Expected (what you think the expected behavior would be when following the steps):
Performance is unimpacted (no FPS drop), such as when plater is disabled
- When the bug started (a date, wow path release, details update, etc)?
N/A
- Additional information:
I can confirm the animation is causing the drop, as disabling the shrink animation with "Quick Hide Nameplates" removes the stutter that happens when going out-of-range, but there's no option to remove it when going into range.
This is an issue because FPS stutters are dangerous on a hardcore server.

So far I'm reproducing this on "Lady Sylvanas Windrunner" in Undercity, even when just turning away/towards the character.
Could be specific to the model or specific to characters with a profession/title, doing further testing.
Edit: Seems to be mostly happening just with the above NPC. Perhaps a specific issue?
Edit2: Nope, definitely happening regularly now, especially with any NPC with a title/profession.
Disabling the "Enemy NPC" module seems to remove the lag. Strange since it's when turning towards Friendly NPCs. I suspect there's some check/logic in that module that is stuttering/lagging. Continuing to investigate.
