I am pretty new to Unity and I have a problem with the application. I think it might be due to my hardware but I couldnt find any similar issues on google and I dont want to spend money to change a part just to find out that it didnt do any difference. So here it goes;
I have installed the lates version of Unity. Problem is that every thing works very jumpy and jerky. I realized it first at island demo. My frame late doesnt go below 100 fps most of the time, but still its jumpy and jerky when I walk around and move.
And this is not even just about a loaded scene. Lets say I have plane and a point light source above it. When I try move the light souce on upward direction by holding and dragging with mouse, it moves, again, jumpy and jerky.
I have a generally buffed up desktop except for my video card, I am not sure if that is the issue. Here are my desktop specs;
Well… The reason for assembling this pc was to use for finite element, fluid flow, and thermal expansion analysis, engineering stuff. cuz well i am engineer. So all i needed was insane amounts of processor power back then.
This is my personal project to fill my separate time.
Jerkiness is still there without any scripts/functions running except for the ones that Unity provides as default to objects.
To simply put. Jerkiness would still be if I just had a lousy cube hovering in the empty space.
hmm check the driver settings then and also if there is a security software mixin that causes it (some technologies have such side effects with overly aggressive process scanners)
It still shouldn’t be doing this; the video card is maybe low for gaming standards, but it had well enough VRAM and power to render an almost empty scene without jerking.
My question to you even if you fixed it; Once compiled in a standalone build, was the project still jerky?
Yes. I built the Island Demo and it was still jerky even though fps didn’t ever go lower than 80. I know that modern engines mostly depend on GPU but my only guess that there was a bottle neck situation because of a very fast CPU and a low bandwidth Video Card.
But thats just my speculation.
You fixed the problem, it was working with an ATI GPU. The best GPU’s at the moment for development and gaming are NVidia GPU’s. ATI hardware and especially drivers are far inferior to NVidia.
Stick with NVidia from now on, as you will get little to no problems. This is a known problem with ATI within the CG industry for years.
Yeah I hear you. Some voice in me said that when I was choosing my new card yesterday
Though some jerkiness started again out of nowhere. It is a lot less but there. I might just re-install my windows.
I wonder if it is because my system is 64 bit?
No, 64-bit should have nothing to do with it. Might seem basic, but have you run a deep virus scan? Something that could cause this is malware, a trojan, some virus, etc.
I only make sure to use Kaspersky on all machines, in my opinion it is the best anti virus out there, as it never interferes with my system’s performance and it keeps everything out.
No. I am going to run a scan now. I am using AVG which is infamous about interfering with other applications. Next step, I might uninstall and use my roomies Ksapersky may be
Yeah i have never used AVG, but I have heard bad things about it.
As a professional CG artist I have to make sure that I get good software and hardware to work with; I will literally loose money when there’s down time and I can’t be productive. For antivirus I trust Kaspersky, I tried Norton; was garbage- it didnt interfere with software much, but it was useless cuz it would let every virus known to man into my system and then tell me my system was infected…which defeats the purpose of “antivirus”. McAfee is one of the worst; it stops nothing from getting in AND it behaves like malware, as it is nearly impossible to remove it once it installs/infects your system; completely useless.
One day a colleague who is a professional web developer recommended Kaspersky. I had never heard of it and was skeptical but went with it completely on his strong recommendation- oh man what a good choice. It just works, period. You never notice it at all, it interferes with NOTHING, and best of all- it doesnt just let viruses in and then tell you your infected like the others, it actually prevents crap from installing and viruses from infecting your system; so you are never infected at all. It will simply warn you that something tried to infect the system, but was prevented from ever infecting/installing in the system at all. Thats how antivirus should work, end of story.
About every 3 years I renew it without hesitation and I have it on all my systems.
Yes, Kaspersky is one of the best if not the best out there. I had used Kaspersky since it wasn’t even called Kaspersky, fo about 5-6 years may be. Then my licence expired last year and I was too cheap to renew it. Well, that will teach me I guess.
