Built in FPS counter - What does this "Update" counter means and reffers to???

[Kuky]

Does anyone know what this Update counter in built in FPS counter is reffering to?

 

It is just driving me nuts trying to figure out what the hell this thing is. When I start the game and get to main menu screen, and start FPS counter to show all the details, all counters show 0 but this "Update" one is showing 16.1

 

Even if my frame rate is 30 FPS in game the value for this Update counter jumps up and down erratically... from single diggit to double diggit (20+) :helpsmilie:and I notice when ever I see micro stutters this value would have erratic change as I described above.

 

ED will have to know what this value is reffering to and what causes it to be higher/lower... if someone would please have the answer?? :huh:

When you start LockOn... press CTL/BSP (together) twice to bring up built in FPS counter with all the details such as which part of render takes how many FPS (ie Surface, Mirrors, Cockpit, etc). One of them says "Update" and I would really like to know what this "Update" is reffering to?

 

It's in same line as Render details... "Total" etc... anyone know this????

 

ED???? someone????

ED... can you please tell us (me) what this "Update" means?

 

ps: I know it means the game is updating something... some render... but what? Is it CPU loading terain? VGU not being able to render all texture or AF or something so it need to keep updating something? Maybe structures getting update on weather they are destroyed... something of that sort?

 

 

Pleeeeeease... I need to know... :D
