Re: Lag After Calling for Travel

Hello @sushicrow 

Could you share a video of the lag that you're seeing?

Here are some ways that you can send video:

@SimQARoboSomething really werid happened. As soon as I turned on the in game camera, the horrible lag stopped. As soon as I turned the camera off, the lag returned. I got curious and increased the graphics back to what I had initially and turned on the camera to travel and the lag problem was still gone. I shut the camera off again and the lag returned and was slower than when I had the graphics lowered. It seemed to me like running the camera was shutting something down, which made it easier for my sim travel. That's why there's no link to vid.

Then, I found another Origin update. I have not played enough to say for sure, but most of the lag seems gone after the Orirgin update. I'd appreciate it if you could take when info I gave above and, if you can, investigate further, This is all very strange and I'm concerned that the problem is either still there or will return. If it happens again, I'll try take take a screen shot, if the game lets me.

@crinrict  My apologies for not doing the vid thing earlier. I've been playing Sims series for a long time, but forgot that there is in game video, since i never used it. I actually looked for way to do so outside of the game and couldn't, I did try. I'm taking my brain in for a polish now 🙂

Thanks to all for the support!

@sushicrow 

Thank you for the info.  Another idea: If you see the issue again, try turning off Origin In-Game in Origin settings and see if that helps.

@SimQARobo  Thanks, I turn that off and more in Origin..I also shut down some windows programs any time I game..None of that is helping this problem.

I post again because it's gotten worse, I did not add any new content. I now have this lag on every map, but it's worst in San Myshuno and Oasis Springs (this was also the case with the previous patch). I made a new game and new sim after the 1.63 update, no mods. In game minutes of lag is one thing, but hours is too much time lost.

The workarounds I listerd previously don't work now.

The only thing that works at all  right now is to disable autonomy on my sim, save and roload the game. Then, travel works fine,although  it can get tricky to not work well in a multiple sim houselhold. Autonomy can only be turned off on selected sim and sim B or whatever might decide it's time for a cocktial .It's a nuisance to do this every time my sim travels to the point where I lose interest in playing.

I have no travel lag at all when a sim calls my sim with an invite and also no lag when going to festivals (when using the message prompt). Is there a way or could there be a way to do phone travel with the other methods (s)?

Thanks again for your patience and help 🙂

I am also having this lag. But only traveling from San Myshuno. Playing with different households in different worlds I don't experience this lag.
