Thanks; once I’d found the executable I sorted it.

FYI things were about ten times worse with 1.5 beta - far far more choppy and jerky, fps jumped from 1 to 55 to 255 to 55 and all over the place, perceived fps was 1 frame every 5 seconds or so, sometimes lots a second, then back to every couple of seconds.

Report the bug - give them the app so they can see for themselves. Catch it while 1.5 is still in beta.

Report that the beta is slow?

Kev

PS. I put up a quick website for this, here: http://www.newdawnsoftware.com/miniad/

Added a simple chat area.

Kev

~1950 fps

Absolutely. I doubt serious performance regressions are acceptable to Sun, if they can be avoided. But if nobody complains they may not realize it until it is too late.

For those interested, I’ve uploaded a remote server enabled version. The server supplied should be alive, apologises if not, its on my home machine.

Registration is available from the client.

Kev

Latency smoothing and chat enabled,

Kev

20 fps w00t :confused:

uhh, but other than that minor ::slight_smile: issue - it’s looking good

Was that you? Only 20FPS ? what spec you on?

Also, could you not see the chat messages or me? Or just didn’t feel like chatting :slight_smile:

EDIT: It should be frame limited to 30 fps btw.

Kev

dropped to 13 fps using 1.4.2 ???
oh well, good thing it isn’t RTCW-ET :wink:

Thanks for trying it on 1.4.2 :slight_smile:

Did you have problems with the original demo too? Haven’t checked back on that thread.

Was the scrolling really terrible at 13fps?

Kev

didn’t see any messages, but my messages I receive twice ??

  • I do get 30 fps in 1.5ß, so it seems to work fine…

everything was bad at 13 fps!
and yes I have always had trouble with your demo - unknown reasons…

Excellent, a success! Contact made :slight_smile:

Kev

Major update for me, minor update for the outside world. I’ve added character creation and fixed a few lag and graphics issues.

Kev

Char creation seemed to work well. Still havent caught anyone else online yet though! :slight_smile: Looking awesome, keep it up.

Yeah, its a bit of problem. Once I get a bit more of the game in there I’ll try and arrange a time to meet up and load test the thing.

Next features:

a) Code comments and release the source
b) Chat area safety/font/command system (/ me /bug /idea)
c) New game area, something with a bit more personality
d) Actions, so you can actually enter that damn Inn! :slight_smile:

Kev

The Inn, yes… that must be where everyone else is :slight_smile:

I look forward to seeing the source!
