Monitor It!

Description
Compatible with Cities Skylines 1.17.0-f3 (Hotels & Retreats)

This mod allows to monitor system resources and performance.

NEW IN 1.8
- Recompiled for Cities Skylines 1.17.0-f3 (Hotels & Retreats).
NEW IN 1.7
- Recompiled for Cities Skylines 1.16.1-f2 (Hubs & Transport).

While working on Render It! mod, I experienced the lack of a good monitoring tool for Cities: Skylines - in terms of system resources and performance. I decided to make one and here it is.

For frame rate both current, average, minimum and maximum values are shown. It's possible to use either normal or smoothen frame rate.

For processors utilization both current, average, minimum and maximum values are shown. Notice that these values are very dependent of the refresh interval. The larger the refresh interval, the larger uncertainty in processors utilization. Furthermore it is based on both kernel and user mode processing by the game (process) spread on refresh interval and number of processors (cores). The game might not "use" all cores so numbers can be uncertain to some degree. Please notice that game processors is only available for Windows systems.

For memory, both game, unity and mono usage of memory can be monitored. For game memory both physical and virtual memory usage are monitored likewise paged and non-paged pool usage. Please notice that game memory is only available for Windows systems.

The mod is specifically made to perform and not to put further pressure on the system while monitoring.

Thank you to the amazing modding community and especially SamsamTS, TPB, boformer and BloodyPenguin for releasing the source code of their great mods so we can all be inspired.

Instructions
Subscribe to the mod and in options choose refresh and reset interval, and what to monitor.

Both in-game button and panel can be moved around by dragging. For button right-click on it and for panel left-click at the top and drag it.

Compatibility
This mod does not use any detour, patching, replacing or decorating technique and it does not alter game save files in any way and can be disabled or unsubscribed safely at any time.

Known issues
  • Mono memory reports zero on Windows systems.

Source code
The source code is available here[github.com]

Is there a log file I can check?

In my case, it worked on the initial attempt but not there after even though it shows subscribed and enabled in Skyve and when I check directly via the workshop.

There is a setting in Monitor it options called smothen frame rate. I'm not exactly sure what it does but I think it shows how smooth your frame rate is. Either way, if you turn it off, frame rate better matches reality.

Noticed that Monitor It! is reporting different FPS than both Steam and Radeon tools (consistently higher), and was curious on what might be causing this?

What is the best way to solve this problem?

@Keallu Yes. These are my Mod List. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474026686

I was going by the Skyve recommendation. It saying that the FPS display that I was using wouldn't be updated due to the dev being retired. FPS Booster by Krzychu1245 and the display Fissll. I tried this one and find it anywhere. So. I loaded the other one from J108560.

I just need a FPS display. I got a Walmart HP home W10 PC. It only has a 950 gpu (I think) with 16g of rams. If the FPS drop below 12. It lag badly. I try to keep it near 18 to 20. It never got above 24 FPS. New PC won't happen till next year.

@rexthesecond: Do you use other mods?

Didn't show up in the Content Manger under MODS or in OPTIONS. Sub, Un-Sub then Re-Sub. Restart game. Got nothing.

@mbutton15 I have 45 mods 300+ objects. I have 64GB of memory in my computer, at times the game took up to 45GB (53GB the entire system).
