    This should be a video showing the jobs_Numthreads at work with 40 elementals, and what it shows in the console .. and that the jobs don't get printed in the console when I killmonsters ..
    I don't know if it's of any singnificance at all but . well .. here it is anyway : )

    Could be. My graphics card is quite good (GTX 1660) but my workstation/pc is quite old and a bit strange having 2 quadcore xeon processors (x5570).

    I made a simple room with 20 blue and 20 red elementals as a test, and my fps dropped to 20+.
    Also tested with 20 elementals total and it was still 60+

    When I kill only the 5 elementals in the lava cave my fps goes from 4+ to 20+, but when I "killmonsters" (in the lave cave) my fps gets 60+

    r_showsmp seems to spit out FFFFFF
    I also see: Exceeded index frame limit (4096 kb), resizing...
    New byffer size: 33285 kb
    And: 16.0 to 24 milliseconds for asingle "R_AddSingleModel" job from list JOBLIST_RENDERED_FRONTEND on thread x
    I set the jobs_numThreads to 8
    Using 2 or 8 threads doesn't seem to hav an effect on GPU load.
    Most part of the game the fps is above 60, in the lava cave it's between 4 and 12

    Great mission!! Thank you Grayman (r.i.p.), Jack and others, I really enjoyed it. And that " painting"  in remebrance of the great man is really awsome!
     

    Spoiler

    I suffered a massive drop in FPS in these caves .. down to 4 fps : O
    My graphix card is a geforce GTX 1660 6GB 192 bit GDDR5 and the missions I have done I could run at maximum
    settings, never dropping below 60fps ... so it's weird. (I used to play on my laptop before and always had to play on low settings)    .
    I have an older "pc" by the way:
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5570  @ 2.93GHz   2.93 GHz  (2 processors)
    RAM: 16,0 GB DDR3
    Win 10 pro

    Update:

    In case you have problems with low fps and crashes at map start, please download version 2 from the op. The upload of version 2 to the mirros will be carried out in ca. one week.

    Please note: version 2 does NOT fix the problem with crashes during certain events when having stuff equipped. See the relevant post from stgatilov in this thread for further information.

    I tested v2 on my machine with my usual settings and my framerate has improved significantly from 3 - 10 fps to 10 - 24 fps In the starting area.

    I found out today that my videocard is rated for 480p gaming and in most other missions it is between 18 and 30 fps so I guess no one will have real problems with older machines now concerning slideshow graphix.

    Added info to; increase fps on older machines: Go to the video settings and lower the Render Scale.

    On a different note:

    The first underground level (even the very first game scene!) and some of the characters are based on an famous American TV show.

    @all: What is the name of the show?

    One a different note:

    No worries, that was just a note for those, who did not explore the area as thoroughly as you did. :)

    I just wanted to make sure, that no one would complain afterwards because he could not meet all objectives.

    Spoiler

    Jack, I went back after the explosives went off, and I could just walk through the brush that is supposed to block the mine ^^

    Nice new mission :)

    Just having some issues with keys. Found 2 that are unfrobbable, so far:

    1 in the

      Hide contents

    com room with a note, under the console and another in place with 4 lockers (it being the second from the left, with the key).

    Took forever to get that unlocked with the robot guard & once inside that key too is unfrobbable. Those keys are important right?

    Are those robot guards stoppable with something?

     

    Spoiler

    Try closing a cabinet and opening it again, this could make the keys frobable.

    I have the render scale at 0.5 and now I get decent fps, but it is very strange. I'm using build #9108
    System: i7-3740QM @ 2.70GHz , 8GB Ram , NVIDIA Quadro K1000M

    Finished the mission without any further problems. Very nice atmosperic mission Jack! Thanx!
