It doesn't on a decent computer. That's why if you play Lainos's Comatose with no actors in it, it's not demanding at all, but since he used like 20000 dead zombies reskinned to tall grass to decorate this large and lavish town level, including lots in places which you can't even fucking visit, much less barely see, that heaps ALL of that fucking shit onto the single threaded game logic and it becomes a slide show.

I made a modified version of that level which trims away a lot of that detail to make it more suitable for GzDoom. I also tried to improve culling somewhat in some places, but that probably does almost nothing at all, it's all the grass and trees being cleared out to a minimum which does the difference.

Have you seen the kind of shit which Bridgeburger cranks out? That trash clearly runs on his machine, and it runs on other people's computers as well if you consider that he has fanbase.

You can even make Comatose run smoothly with GzDoom if you just optimize it a little for the whole BSP Tree + hardware rendering part. It's not so much the grand open townscape which makes Comatose run slow with GzDoom, it's that there's like 15000+ decorative tall grass actors in a map with almost no culling at all.
Cut that down (a shitload of it is way past the playable borders and not even visible anyway), and now it runs fine.

I can't deal with Legion Of Bones. The Mancubus replacement is way too goddamn unnerving for me to cope with (particularly with Comatose's silent teleports). I caught that fatass with his gaping face around a corner, and he somehow immediately closed the distance after I backed off. Novel, but too unsettling and stressful for me.

Visplane blocking does a little, but cutting all that tall grass is really what had to be done, so I'll call it Comatose: Mowed Edition. If anyone ever wanted to play it in GzDoom but couldn't, this is a simple version to just grab, the gameplay should be the same.
