glest windows linux differences
« on: 12 March 2010, 00:21:37 »
When there was trouble with megaglest, I looked at the windows version of glest too.
I saw two big differences:

1. Nights are much much darker in windows glest with the same setting !?!
2. loading speed in windows is ultra slow compared to linux. I think linux loads a game 10 times faster ( I don't know if GAE is affected too because it uses another xml-parser )

Why are there these differences?

Unsure.

For the night time brightness, perhaps other 'OS' settings are effecting this  :-\

The load time thing I haven't really noticed, seems to be about the same on linux and windows to me, and I don't think the move to tinyxml has anything to do with it, I certainly didn't notice any massive improvement in load time after hailstone plugged it in.

Once we release Maga-Glest (tomorrow) I'll put in some timings to see where exactly win vs linux differences are coming from.

Thanks
