Performance issues in 4.051
« on: December 17, 2010, 10:21:13 pm »
Anyone else having significant performance issues under 4.051? I've generally not had issues before, but I can't get performance better than ~50% under any reasonable performance profile in the new version.

Hasn't dipped at all for me. I usually have it set to 33MS and get just over 100%.

Used to play on high, now normal still gets the game stuttering when I scroll in a crowded planet.
Zooming out or viewing large battles from the galaxy-view prevents it.

Turning thing like the lines 'boosters' lines getting drawn, etc, off dont seem to make any impact.

I've had this recently but I kind of doubt its the same as what you're having.

I think it varies by save.  There is one specific save (Keith, it's z_seige1.sav in svn if you're looking at it) that is really suffering for me.  It's spikey's old save.  But, other than that one I've not been having issues.  So I suspect it's something specific to certain saves, anyhow.

Actually, it was also in z_ChrisLone.  But, looking at it in my current build of 4.052, performance seems to be perfectly fine again.  I suspect it was a bunch of numeric overflows with the firepower ratings, or something similar.  I'll do a release real quick.
