1.5.1beta OGL

What is everyone complaining about ? I've been getting 15-29FPS since 1.3.2 using OpenGL

OpenGL is new for windows users in 1.5.1.

OpenGL/Direct3D Performance benchmark:

This are from a AMD XP 3200+ /w a ATI Radeon 9600 /w 128mb of VRAM running on a AGP 8x /w a 400Mhz DAC. ATI driver 6.14.10.6483.

I've got the driver set to force 4x Full screen anti-aliasing and 16x Anisotropic filtering running in 1280x1024.

For OpenGL I unchecked the Highrez box, since this is only for people who get artifacts on there screen when it's turned off.

Using the opening of Willow creek for a standard bench mark, I tested the following areas on the map. First the units all lined up looking at the wind mill(open sequence after the units move into view), then I rotated to the right to remvoe the wind mill from view and just say water, then I moved the units across the creek and put them on top of the hill on the other side.

Opening 48fps 80fps
Creek 51fps 106fps
Hill 58fps 180fps

These #s should provide a point of reference to determine if you have problems or not.

On OpenGL 1.5 I used to average between 30-45 normally with fps up to 400 max (depending on map, # of units etc). Now on 1.5.1 I average between 14-32 normally with fps only up to 220 max. I noticed it immediately and also my camera movement seems choppy now. I tried turning on/off Hi-res and it has absolutely no effect (and I don't think I could ever tell any difference under normal circumstances anyway).

So that's what 1.5.1 is doing to me

Lothar-> How does your FPS in software mode compare between the versions? Trying to determine if the problem is in the renderer or else where.

Hrm JJ, sometimes when you have too many recordings and plugins you get evil chop on myth, so try creating a new map for unnecessary plugins and films.
