Spring RTS Engine

Im having major performance problems in new version. Getting under 25FPS in smallish 2v2 games now and CPU loads above 35-40%.

I never had problems in spring even in huge games - i got 3.7ghz dual core and ati 5850

Perhaps its related to another bug im having - projectiles disappear (plasma bool or rocket model- CEG effects still visible).

Google reported that problem too.

i got same cpu problems and fps either :<

what is v-sync ? should i disable it or not ?

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :>

Another new issue is that sound becomes mangled broken if i run spring minimized.

I often task switch to do other stuff while playing or i simply spectate and have it running in background.

It used to work perfectly until this release. After some time sound becomes choopy/laggy and it seems to lag whole OS.

It can be fixed by switching back to game.

Sound is supposed to be muted when you minimize. At least this is what happens to me (on windows).

Its not muted, its volume is identical on windows7. Just becomes progressively more and more broken and laggy.

Eventually after many minutes it can become silent.

If i then switch back, game is freezed for several seconds until.

the sound mute works for me too, as zerver described it. though, when i disable sound with F6, it also lags the system for some 2 to 3 seconds. that happens since a long time already though, not new to this release. on F6, spring only sets the volume to 0, so i can not see how it would be springs fault.

for the performance issues... Alt+B and /debuginfo profiling.

D:

haaalp :< i cant play spring, my life is ruined

Wombat, at this time of the game, it was lagging?
could you please try NoSound=1 in spring settings. i do not believe that this will change anything, but just to be sure.

I also got disappearing shields bug recently.
(Also new to this version).

I was observing game and suddenly all shields in game stoppped rendering and switched visible/invisible state several times in like 1s intervals.

Personnaly it's my units that disappear for brief instants in that new 0.82.6.

for the performance issue:
Licho, could you please do what i suggested too?
"/debuginfo profiling" ends up in infolog, btw. and try NoSound=1.

jK sugggested it might be an issue related to ATI, does anyone with non-ATI GFX have the performance issue?

Yeah i will try that sound thing. I dont believe performance is sound problem. Im more inclined to believe its yet another ATI related problem.

yeah me too, but this is easy to test.

Nvidia here. It's all good as far as I can tell.

no problems with nvidia here.

Not a sound problem.

Nvidia here with the disappearing projectiles and shields bug.
