Awfully slow, full CPU usage
« on: June 26, 2007, 11:14:21 pm »
I just compiled and installed the latest stable SVN version on my Debian 4.0. The compilation worked without any problems and I have nice .deb files now, many thanks for the great work! However, when I start the game it is awfully slow. It is hardly possible to move the mouse to a certain place in the main menu, not even mentioning the actual game...

I found out that the CPU usage rises to 100%. I suspected OpenGL being a problem, but glxinfo says that direct rendering is activated and glxgears runs almost without using the CPU at all. My chipset is a Intel mobile 915. I tested Debian stable with kernel 2.6.21.5 and Debian testing with kernel 2.6.18.8 with the very same effect. I configured everything according to http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/231.html and as I said, glxinfo output seems quite reasonable.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

your intel chipset is the problem - see http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Manual/System_Requirements

if you find a solution - please let us know

i810 driver works for mee
« Reply #2 on: July 13, 2007, 09:51:37 am »
I am running ufo:ai on a IBM X41 with i810 video driver under debian. First I had the same problems. But by changing config.cfg I got rid of them. Change/add the following line to config.cfg:  set gl_ext_pointparameters "0".

that's good news - can you please send the vendor string of your intel card? or even better the hole ufoconsole.log (via pastebin maybe)

can you maybe try the latest revision in trunk? does that fix your intel card problems?

Wohoo, confirmed!

ibykus's fix makes this stunning game (finally!) run flawlessly on my machine.

Here are the specs:

- I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn"
- The UFO:AI version is mattn's beta installer release (rev 9457)
- The video chipset is a Intel 945GM

With 2.1 FPS is about 6
With latest SVN version FPS jumped to 93
Game works well now.
Great work!
