Well, I have tried just about everything - I simply cannot play the new version (Legacy works fine, of course.) due to the horrid framerate, regardless of my init settings. I hope to god toady keeps up with legacy versions. I'd hate to have to stop. I know a new computer would probably fix this, but I simply cannot afford one. All I have is a T2082 Emachine with 1 gig of ram. It cant really run anything from after 2007. Im dealing with it, though.

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers?

Also, what size worlds are you using, and what size sites are you embarking on?  "Averaging 80 fps at embark" isn't necessarily bad, depending on circumstances.

I updated my graphics drivers quite some time ago. It helped on some other programs, but it didn't effect DF.
Tiny worlds, 3x3 embark sites, usually without any water other then murky pools, definitely no waterfalls, and I don't even have a magma sea/hfs.

In all honesty I'd play at that fps until about 20 fps. The only thing thats stopping me is how when I move the screen, it doesnt refresh for a few seconds, leaving trails of dwarves if they move too.

NO MORE LAVA RAIN! WOOT! 

I still get the lava rain on seasonal changes sometimes... The biggest problem I am having is the known-bug with the squad creation, though. I can't defend my fort! Which isn't that bad or whatever, but yeah, looking forward to the fix.

Nothing Dwarflier than having your fort's population massacred whenever the first wave of ambushers shows up!

Rex_nex: Does that include the 2D mode?

(Oh, and also - guys, there is no shader mode. There isn't any point. You'd gain more from using a dual-core CPU.)

Hey, Baughn, how goes the quest for graphics? Anything we can do to help or that you need tested?

Don't know if this is 31.04 version related or not, but my damn mayor just mandated me to make 2 slade items.

mine keeps mandating adamantine :S

A lot of aquifiers is a side effect of the new "islands" world generator. Go into "generate with parameters" and choose the other type to get the old land-goes-to-edge-of-world-with-few-aquifiers maps.

A-hah!  Thanks.  I have had to wait for the Mac release to play with the new release so I wasn't aware of this.

Slade is worse, woof, because you can't mine it.


Kill the noble, and any children he has had. Stupidity like that is not good for the dwarven race.

ouch, that's most likely a bug then


adamantine is still bloody annoying though

Apparently you can, due to another bug: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1444

I have no island worlds and still get a bajillion aquifers.

I got a working slade smelter reaction out of Shaostoul's guide thing, but i believe unminable slade isn't a bug. its just so hard in the raws that you'd have to change something to make it mineable, or something. (didn't we have a thread about that near the 31.01 release?)

I think Woof meant that it's a bug for nobles to mandate slade items.

[DoX]

Ahoy. Mantis says the [graphics: YES] crash bug has been fixed.

Confirmation? May I go to my Maydaying?

[Josiwe]

If they've fixed it, you'll have to wait for them to put up a download for .31.04b or whatever they decide to call it. Check the /dwarves/ page for updates.

Okay, so I'm new to DF, but I've been playing 0.28 in linux for a few weeks now. I downloaded 0.31.04, and it simply won't start up. Anyone know what the deal could be? I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron. Thanks.
