FPS drop with crowd animations

Postby anrox335 » 16 Oct 2025, 14:49

So, I have a crowd at 90-100% and get an FPS drop from 144 to 60 with their clapping animation. My PC has RTX 4080 with Ryzen 7 7800x3d, so I don't think hardware could be an issue.

I like playing the game with the crowd animation on, so I wanted to ask if it is possible to stop the clapping animation before the next point begins. It would be great if the clapping animation and sound stopped as soon as the service motion for the next point starts.

Hello,

with the next update (likely coming in a while), add this line in your Tennis.ini, under [3dEngine] :
AutoStopCrowd = 1
(HowTo => topic19-32161.php)
And the crowd animation, but not its sound, will stop when the server throws the ball up.

Turn off Sun Rotation from Hidden Settings :

Settings > Misc > Hidden Settings (bottom-right) > 3dEngine > SunRotation > Set Value to 0

Be sure to have VSync Frames enabled in order to run this game at locked 60fps.

The issues have stopped since the last update.

No, the crowd animations issues have not stopped since the last update, you are probably playing at night session or at the default time. In order to have minimal fps drops during crowd animations, follow these steps :

1. On the Misc tab, at the bottom-right corner of the screen, you’ll find the Hidden Settings, where you can adjust many advanced options.
2. Change “[Game] Autosave” from 3 to 2, so the game only saves at the end of each game and not at the end of each rally, this will significantly reduce frame drops.
3. 3dEngine > SunRotation > Set Value to 0
4. Be sure to have VSync Frames enabled in order to run this game at locked 60fps on PS5. Also be sure that shadows are set to "All + Stadium" and not to "All + Crowd" or if you want to have "All + Crowd" reduce the Far Crowd Density to Lower. So, in conclusion, "All + Stadium set Far and Near Crowd Density to Normal" or "All + Crowd and set Far Crowd Density to Lower (keep Normal Crowd Density to Normal)".
