New version FPS
« on: November 17, 2007, 05:48:00 am »

My FPS have increased from ~30 to ~40 in the new version.  Most pleasing!

Did anyone else get any substantial difference?

Forgive me for the totally noob question but how do you check the FPS?  

I am very hopeful that this new version will be better because I have been unable to play the last version (this is a work computer that is very wimpy).

INIT file, it'll have an option to display FPS.

My FPS for a large fort in the new version is greater than my FPS for a hermit fort in the old version as far as I can tell. Vast improvement    :)

Then again, in the new version I run with the bells and whistles off, where I had them on in the old one.

I'm playing on an old computer with temperature, etc turned on and my FPS went from 7 -> 17.  Wooot!

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

I've noticed that it lags a lot less in towns.

I think the biggest difference can be seen in maps with loads of water-living critters.  In the old version they pretty much halved my fps, but now DF runs almost as smooth as on critterless maps.

I've gotten significant FPS improvement across the board, on a variety of maps.

Actually, it's not the version that's laggy, it's just this region.

Can anyone download this region and tell me if it's as laggy for them as for me?

Seriously, what the hell, it's awful.
