Title: Game is slow sometimes
Post by: semente on 4 March 2009, 18:24:35

Hi,

I play for a while and it works well, but then slows down for a while (around 15 seconds) then returns to normal, and returns occur after a time.

I tried disable several things related to graphics (such shadows, texture 3D, decrease window size),  but without success... but I don't think is a issue related to video. I realized that the CPU when the game is slow, it is 100%, then when game returns to normal the CPU usage is 50%.

My video card is nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, and I tried Glest 3.1.2 and 3.2 on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10. I have a Core 2 Duo.

For the record, this is an error or glitch (Glitch seems most suitable). Glest has very modest requirements when it comes to 3d, and the fact that it runs fine, then slows down, then comes good again, etc. should be proof enough that a 'slow' computer or not very good 3d card is NOT the problem.
