Which platform is preferred?
« on: April 04, 2009, 11:24:37 am »
I was wondering which of the supported platforms (Windows, Linux, etc.) is the preferred one? Does the game run noticeably smoother on one than the others? Fewer glitches? Other reasons?

there should not be any differences between platforms.

Ok. I thought that maybe the game had some dependencies that behave slightly differently on different platforms. From my experience I know that some Linux- or Java-based GUI libraries (gtk, tcl/tk) are/were glitchier on Windows.

From my experience the 2.2.1 runs better on Linux than Windows. 2.3 is not stable enough to tell the difference for me.

Although I do not know if it is not the problem with the system priority variable. It runs much smother with te priority downed to a normal program but since I found out about it I did not played 2.2.1 anymore.
