Q&A

Why do games freeze?

Games freeze due to inefficient handling of graphics card transfers, not slow PC performance.

How can I prevent game freezes?

You can prevent game freezes by using techniques like rendering multiple meshes, using fences, and managing mesh updates.

What is a fence in game optimization?

A fence is a mechanism in game optimization that indicates when an operation, like a graphics card transfer, is complete.

How does rendering multiple meshes improve game performance?

Rendering multiple meshes in sequence allows for smoother gameplay by updating meshes without causing freezes.

Why is sorting and managing an array of meshes important?

Sorting and managing an array of meshes allows for rendering the most up-to-date mesh and avoiding redundant rendering.
