Excuse my undwarvenlyness but i had to ask.

Right now i'm running a slightly expanded fortress (Couple of clicks x and y over the standard) I dont know the exact numbers

Have about 15 dwarves at the moment, averaging 25-30 fps normally.
Accelerator dropped me down to 0-5.
Wonder why? And also wondering if thats a decent frame rate considering.
I've yet to get past my first couple of years without being overwhelmed by useless dwarves. (Building the drowning chamber as we speak)

If you use graphical tiles, the textures may not fit in VRAM. DFA has a horribly inefficient texture-catalog packer. Or not-packer, perhaps I should say. (Fixed in BC)

If you have good drivers that do a good job with DF as it is anyway, DFA just adds inefficiency

If you have partial-printing off, try turning it on

[highholyme]

Yeah I noticed that.
No tiles, pure DF.

Like I said, I was really wondering of 30 fps was decent for 15 dwarves.

[Baughn]

Weell...

For your computer, it's probably decent. I get 150-200fps at that level, but mine is of course a bit more powerful than most. *shrug*

edit 2: updating drivers actually made things worse.  Mega slowdown -- FPS counter shows 0 doing intro movie, and won't show up in menus or gameplay.

Getting some bizarre problems, seemingly related to nonstandard grid sizes and the top line of the display not getting refreshed.

I have screenshots if you need them, but here's the debugger output:

DFA has been superceded by DF v0.28.181.40d2; see http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=28841.0 for details.

No further updates will be posted.

 not sure but it seems to works good i was just starting to get tired of the creeping pace.but their all running pretty fast now even with 113 dwarfs.it's half screen but i haven't played with the settings yet. way to go!
