While I hesitate to pimp my own program, if you're having problems with FPS - especially if partial-print is helping, buggy or not - you should probably take a look at http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27262.0

Removing cave in's did basically nothing for me.. and my architecture is highly unstable *see a couple thousand tile floor hanging by a couple pieces of tile.

Perhaps the GPU/Physics processor in my video card is handling it via openGL.

YOYOYO I heard you like Dwarf Fortress so I carved some dwarves watching you play Dwarf Fortress, looking at engravings of dwarves carving dwarves carving in your fortress on Dwarf Fortress.


Now that that is out of my system, with Partial Print, there really isn't a useful guide to help you tweak it, is there? it's only a GUESS and GO thing... Kinda annoying really.

Also, I now have a mortal grudge on Mithaldu. A mortal one.
You better get in line, kid.
Make enemies much?

Whaddya mean "enemies"? It's a frigging forum. You can't just hold a grudge for someone making a passing comment...Save them for the people who put you out of a job for a promotion, or committed a crime against you that you can't prove..Or something.

That's not unstable, that perfectly stable. Seeing as how cave-ins work, it wouldn't matter unless nothing was holding them up.

Well then Explains why Changing cave ins did nothing for me..... But on a serious note, they said cave ins was were the preformance gain was and I would like to know how they came to that conclusion unless their map had a constant cave in somehow.

Tweaking init settings to alter performance is one of those YMMV things.

Depending on the map someone is playing in, the effect of various changes can probably differ a lot.

Disabling cave-ins sounds really weird, though. I don't see how that would help either unless there was something gnarly going on with magma and water mixing in the tube, or something like that.
