Scrolling roster

[WMLute]

I was otd and lookin' at the roster, scrolling it w/ my wheel mouse when I noticed the ground blurring everytime I did.

ctrl i, looked @ my fps and saw a pretty big hit everytime I used my wheel mouse to scroll the roster.

odd.

so I tried just using the mouse pointer and moving the roster.  again w/ the ground blur/fps hit.

I held the scroll bar and just went up/down constantly for @ 10 sec. and managed to drop my fps from 40 to 9.

I asked some members of my squad to try it and they all got pretty hard FPS hit's when scrolling the roster.

Most likely the same reason you take an FPS hit from backspacing in the chat box. DirectX doesn't support the backspace, meaning it's hard-coaded into the game by HTC. Hence instead of doing one calculation to remove a letter, it has to punch through a string of code.

I bet DirectX doesn't support a scrolling roster system, too.
