[40d to 40d5] FPS-ruining jerkiness
« on: December 29, 2008, 10:36:34 pm »

After about an in-game month of playing the last few games I've played, all in 40d, everything frequently pauses for a moment, reducing effective fps from 125 to 25.

After I think about it, this might've occured after I updated my drivers for my Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. It also appears to affect worlds genned in 40d exclusively.

Windows XP.

EDIT: This is also happening really bad in 40d5 with a world genned in 40d.

EDIT2: According to another guy, setting fps at 10x monitor refresh rate and gfps at 2x monitor refresh rate helps some.

EDIT2: Also, according to Baughn, this is fixed in 40d6. Which isn't out at the time of writing this.
