[fixed] .BUG: Extremely low framerates, v3.3.6 and v3.3.7-beta1, Linux

[John.d.h]

Note: This is neither my wimpy netbook nor the school computer with the bad drivers that I mentioned on IRC!  This is a different computer (my Toshiba laptop) that runs GAE 0.3 with excellent speed.

When starting Megaglest, it runs very slowly.  Even in just the menu, I get <1fps.  With GAE 0.3, it runs flawlessly.  When I finally got to start a game (this took a few minutes), it runs just as slow.  As you can see here in the screen shot, it's still <1fps, and even after 310 frames, the ground textures didn't load.  I've tried both 3.3.6 and 3.3.7-beta1, with the same results.



I'm running Linux Mint 32 bit off of my USB stick on a Toshiba laptop with built-in Intel hardware.

Here's the output when I run lspci:

Ok since you started with 3.3.6 there are some known possible issues with older dependencies being used. Check out this post

https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/FAQ#My_Frames_Per_Second_.28FPS.29_are_horrible.2C_what_can_i_do.3F

specifically try:

mkdir lib_bkp
mv lib/* lib_bkp/
cp lib_bkp/libcurl* lib/
cp lib_bkp/libgnu* lib/
cp lib_bkp/libicu* lib/
cp lib_bkp/liblua* lib/
cp lib_bkp/libxerces* lib/

Worked like a charm.

Edit: Just saw the sticky.  Now I feel dumb.
