PeaceIsland

200 Frames Per Second, and Linux!

Folks- there was a LOT I wanted to address this evening - but we have to keep it at that, for now: WE BROKE 200 FRAMES PER SECOND IN AN INTERIOR SCENE, AND OVER 100 FRAMES PER SECOND IN THE EXTERIOR - at "Ultra" quality on a 3440X1440 monitor!

THIS is the "Holy Grail" we have been searching for, since our first attempt at refactoring, two years ago. It seems that our lead coder Lance & I happened upon this singular solution within minutes of each other, despite us not communicating on the subject, and being separated by the better part of three thousand miles.

Considering the improvement on the PC side, I can only speculate on how this will impact Mac Performance - speaking of which: To properly integrate & propagate this fix will mean a slight delay in the long-awaited Playtest Build for Mac, as well as the closed Beta - no more than two weeks.

WE ALSO DISCOVERED A WAY THAT PEACE ISLAND CAN RUN ON LINUX! We'll be sharing this method, when we release the above playtest version.

I have to get back to work - gotta deploy the forces, before I sleep.
