Hello, ever since the very latest updates from matservant or xkt, the game has been experiencing severe slowdowns at certain points during play, making it unplayable. While using multiple mods simultaneously could be the cause, I didn't have this issue a few weeks ago with the same number of mods. I know that scoreboard or player animations can be resource-intensive, which is why I’m reporting this issue—one that is likely to worsen with future updates. For reference, here is my setup: Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3080, running at 1440p with max settings. -----> I should point out that the slowdowns occur on the 3D courts, obviously.

Hello,

you should like report this issue on the XKT's Discord server => https://www.managames.com/Redir.php?t=Mod_XKT .

Sorry, I don't have a Discord account and don't want to create one. I'm just sharing this in case it's useful information regarding forum users. Thanks anyway. (I imagine I'm not the only one experiencing these slowdowns due to all the updates making the game heavier, and the issue might get reported automatically.)

Hello, you can message me in private and try to tell me if it happens during / after specific points of the match, or at certain moment of the scoreboard animation. It can help me to investigate and find a fix. Also, as you play on PC, you can go to settings > profile > show engine log, when the lags appear, and send me the log.

Hello. I don't really have time to check this in-game, but from what I recall, it happens after a rally, when the crowd starts clapping in slow motion. Then, during the serve, the server is very slow to serve, but after the first or second ball strike, the game returns to normal.

Okay, I’ve just found the cause of the slowdown: the crowd density needs to be reduced to restore some smoothness to the gameplay. The thing is, before the latest updates, crowd density didn't affect performance for me. So, the recent improvements are definitely what’s making the game run more heavily. The solution: lower the crowd density for now, and perhaps lower the graphics settings in the future.
