| Freeorion11 | Is it normal that freeorion runs slowly on a new laptop Linux with Intel HD graphics? I checked and it's loa | 07:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Freeorion11 | OpenGL, but there is a lag when moving the mouse | 07:20 |

| freeorion11 | I'm trying freeorion on a recent laptop under Linux with an Intel HD4400 card. I have OpenGL running (glxinfo) and freeorion is using it (LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose shows that it's loading the DRI driver). Still, the game is awfully slow. The mouse cursor is lagging even after starting a game and right from the start. When I start it with 'freeorion -r', | 21:34 |
| freeorion11 | then the mouse is still lagging on the galaxy chart. Any ideas? | 21:34 |
| Sector | Tried Options - Video Limit FPS? Can also try Galaxy Map and turn some stuff off under General. Can also try posting on the forum, might have better luck with asking there. | 21:38 |
| freeorion11 | I limited the FPS to 40 | 21:39 |
| freeorion11 | still, I'm surprised for a game that seems to be around for a while already and that has native support in Linux, it shouldn't have problems to be rendered on a recent laptop, should it? | 21:39 |
| freeorion11 | I must be doing something wrong | 21:39 |
| freeorion11 | people were playing this game already 5 ago on recent hardware | 21:40 |
| Sector | Wouldn't think so, usually runs pretty well these days. | 21:40 |
| freeorion11 | (I mean 5 years ago on recent hardware) | 21:41 |
| freeorion11 | I compiled it from the git repository on arch, so maybe that's a problem | 21:41 |

| freeorion11 | glxinfo tells me that I have GLX version 1.4. so that might be a problem | 21:43 |
| tomreyn | why? GLX != OpenGL | 21:44 |
| tomreyn | i got a Radeon HD 4670 (dedicated) graphics card here and it lags, too. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2643&cmp[]=12 | 21:44 |

| Sector | Updating video drivers can sometimes help. | 21:45 |
| freeorion11 | how could people play this game 5 years ago, if it's lagging on modern hardware? | 21:45 |
| tomreyn | well you have an intel gpu from 2.5 years ago, i have a dedicated but lower spec graphics card from 3.5 years ago. so that's not exactly the latest top notch hardware. | 21:47 |
| Sector | Doesn't usually have any issues. Though sometimes late game can have some. | 21:48 |
| tomreyn | i assume freeorion was developed for an earlier opengl version, just like megaglest, and the engines weren't rewritten since, and thus don't perform too well on more current hardware. | 21:49 |

| freeorion11 | glxinfo tells me "OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.0.7", so it cannot be a problem with that | 21:53 |
| freeorion11 | it's a pity, I really wanted to try it. | 21:54 |
| Sector | You should be able to on that hardware... | 21:55 |
| freeorion11 | it's simply unplayable. After increasing the video ram in xorg (VideoRam) to 2GB, the title screen now has no more lag. but after starting the game, it is unplayable | 21:56 |
| Sector | Must be something going on. But you'll probably have better luck posting on the forum (http://www.freeorion.org/forum/index.php) as more will see it there. | 21:58 |
| tpb | Title: FreeOrion Index page (at www.freeorion.org) | 21:58 |
| freeorion11 | I'll post it there some time. I'm now playing around with DRI and see whether it's a problem with my driver | 22:00 |
| Sector | Hopefully you can get it working as it should. | 22:00 |
| freeorion11 | (need to reboot; will play around; thanks for the help) | 22:01 |
| Sector | Good luck with it. | 22:01 |

| tomreyn | oh i didnt know freeorion moved to github. good move. | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | the sf.net page doesn't seem to point it out | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | it's not super visible either but you can add this blue bar on top: http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/ | 22:08 |

| tomreyn | so i just built head of master, it is playable for me. the science screen is laggy as it has been, and so is round advancement | 23:26 |
| tomreyn | switching between mneus also takes up to 3 seconds | 23:28 |
| tomreyn | but it works in general (until round 100, i guess) | 23:28 |
