DQ running slow on Fire TV (linux asst plz)

First and foremost, I am NOT blaming Dungeon Quest for this. I’m simply both trying to gather information (to provide to Shinybox if needed) and to try to enhance my gaming experience as a whole on Fire TV. I suspect the issue is with Fire TV and Fire OS, but it is what I have to work with, so making DQ run best on this platform is my purpose.

Okay, I’m a windows guy, so Linux is mostly foreign to me. I know a little bit, so I certainly am willing to dig as deep as I can.

Problem: In very specific circumstances, DQ will grind to a halt. I had instances with several seconds between frames. These situations occur when using a map with pack size +180 (I haven’t tried lower as I’m specifically trying to max that stat), with a “run and gun” style. Once a certain number of enemies and/or a certain amount of loot is on the dungeon floor, the game crawls to an unusable speed.

I have tried Low FX, and if there’s a difference between low and hi FX, I haven’t noticed (I’m not a videophile by any stretch). Low FX is my default, just because I see no appreciable difference with high FX.

I’ve tried killing off other tasks, but that didn’t seem to help either. I assume they just restarted in the background, gaining me nothing.

Here is a TOP output during such a slowdown

[code]User 13%, System 43%, IOW 0%, IRQ 1%

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TL; DR :wink:

Oh come now, you can do better than that :smile:. Troubleshooting issues takes a lot of information, so I tried to provide what I could.

Well…here is the deal. its 180+ enemies plus all the particle effects your character has happening, plus all the items on the ground plus any any enemy effects that are going on. While the fire tv is a fantastic piece of hardware it is doing all of this at 1080p over while dealing with controller polling.

My advice IF you wanna keep playing with crazy enemy density:
Turn off all damage numbers
Turn off all enemy health bars
Turn off auto targeting
Keep your summons to a minimum as well.

Thank you for the response. I wasn’t sure if I was running into the knee-curve on RAM, processor, or GPU. The RAM that DQ uses is somewhat steady and the CPU usage doesn’t seem to go over about 53% or so for DQ. There seems to be a critical point where if I pick up just a few more items off the floor, things go back to normal. Am I “swapping” from RAM to storage or overloading the GPU during this time of slowness?

I play on Amazon Fire TV, with faster then normal internet, and a 240Hz LED TV. I havent had any of the issues above. I would be willing to bet that the issue could be with the internet connection, or the TV and its ability to process the information.
