Yesterday I was playtesting a version of Battle for Tatooine with a friend of mine on BNet. During an arena mode, we noticed the screen becoming choppy. It didn't feel like lag so much as computer computational problems. It reminded me a bit of what happened when I left some leaks in the game during editing once. But there were some differences that suggest this is not a leak problem:
1. For one, it didn't appear to get progressively worse. When I left leaks on it got worse and worse over time, but this time it didn't.
2. The choppy/lag experience occurred right after we started so there wasn't much time for any leaks to accumulate.
I should point out that this cannot be the computer being overwhelmed with functions (unless there's some bug I left on) because this version of the map is much much less complicated than the full version which doesn't lag or chop.
Sadly, I'm at work and can't get this out of my mind. What are the other sources of this sort of choppiness? (I.e. low frame rate).
Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's driving me crazy!
