Title: Update for the Linux installer.
Post by: Platyna on June 14, 2005, 05:12:16 pm

I have prepared new relase of helper programs for users of the Linux installer.
The goal is to increase Planeshift\'s performance. If you are suffering from low
performance and you would like to try it you have to:
1. Download this file: http://platyna.xpam.de/temp/planeshift.tar.gz.
2. Unpack it: tar -zxf planeshift.tar.gz -C /tmp
3. Copy content of /tmp/planeshift to the directory where you have installed Planeshift.

Post your feedback and problems in this thread. Thank you.


Regards.

Easier method:
Download the file
do tar -zxvf plan (tab means press the tab button. it\'s autocomplete)
then just copy the new folder\'s content into your PS folder

Before getting these binaries and after updating my mouse would move slow in the game. Now it moves better (not optimal). The game will still hiccup every once and a while and skip a few frames though.

System Specs:
P4 2.8
512mb Mem
Arch Linux
Fluxbox
GeForce FX 5200 128mb
nvidia 7174 driver

I also updated.
No changes detectable at first glance.
Still crashes with sound enabled.
Some frame hiccups when the lighting gets messed up ergo:

  Sector \'hydlaa_jayose\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'jayose_inside\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'pink\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'lightgreen\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'yellow\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'purple\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'red\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'blue\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

  Sector \'orange\' for ambient light was not found in lighting setup 17.

When that comes up my frame rate drops to half, sometimes goes below 10 fps lowering even to 1/3 fps and hence the hiccups.
I\'d really like to know whats diferent with these binaries.
Latest nvidia drivers.
