Thanks for the heads up. I just checked and I have no assets by pguy in the route or the session, but someone else may have borrowed his script. I will look further in to it.

I wasn't able to cause my route to stutter after 5 hours of use, like i did the first time. Now i am 8 hours in, and no problems. The problems i have had with stutters has always been in surveyor, Not driving sessions. I also disabled memory compression in windows 11 with a script, And it seems much better.
I also use process lasso for all my sims and games to monitor every single background program. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Hmm, that's interesting. I took a copy of that script for inspiration for my own work. The code line numbers in your earlier post did align with the copy I have.
We all learn from each other in the software jungle.
The first time through usually means content is being cached and compressed. Once that part is over, routes tend to load faster and run smoother later.
If you are seeing stutters in Surveyor, click on the three-bar menu in the upper-left corner.
Choose Show Launcher, or whatever it's called.
Click on Developer on the top of the launcher.
Click on Show logs.
If the log is busy moving along, it's doing something such as caching and compressing. It's not as vigorous as the first time through but it does still occur. Sometimes, you can see a faint pre-caching message in the upper part of the screen while in Surveyor. The text is a faint grey and is about 6 points in size.
While this is going on, moving about the route will be sluggish and various object menus may be missing items and are replaced by a spinning circle.
All my trees and many of my bushes are SpeedTrees. SP6 and SP6 HF had no noticeable effect on them. I have now replaced many of the SpeedTrees with Plant Factory trees for which SP6 was optimised.
Well, pretty much every route that has an abundance of speed trees, (For reference, I use the ST_RMM assets) is now no longer able to run at the smooth framerates I could get before SP6. Even when Tree quality is set to Low. It's still tough to get the game to 60FPS. Most the time I'm getting 30 or maybe if I'm lucky 40 FPS.
@AV3. Yeah thanks for the info. Others have commented and confirmed this situation. SP6 HF1 will not be installed on my game.
PS: The new plant trees look atrocious, compared to St_RMM & Mcguirel trees. I downloaded them out of curiosity. I suppose when you wear rose coloured glasses and believe that N3V can do no harm, you cannot see the wood for the trees.
Yeah I think we've figured out the hard way that's just not the case.I suppose when you wear rose coloured glasses and believe that N3V can do no harm, you cannot see the wood for the trees.
