Building Oolite Windows from source - The Easier Way

[Tricky]

Not sure if others get this but with 1.76.1 (rebuilt with the new GCC 4.7.1 and using the DLLs from trunk) I get the expected FPS of 80 or so (no VBSYNC). With current trunk (1.77.0.5563 and the same build environment) I only get an FPS of about 15 at best.

It isn't the OXPs (I've tried it with no OXPs), it isn't the DLLs or the new GCC (actually everything was OK with the old build environment). Any ideas?

Vista patched to the latest MS patch Tuesday.
NVidia driver version 306.97

Here are a few ideas, hopefully one of them may hit the nail on the head:
1 . Does the same happen if you download and run a pre-built nightly binary?
2. What programs are running in the background? It could be side effects of an antivirus or something memory resident of such type.
3. The 1.77 build seems to want to connect to DebugConsole on ebspso.dnsalias.org, while the 1.76.1 one has the standard connection message. Why is that?
4. If all else fails, can you pinpoint the exact SVN revision where the problem started occuring? Use the standard algorithm of reverting to r5255 (halfway between 1.76.1 and now); if it occurs, go back half way towards 1.76.1, if not jump halfway towards r5563 etc., until you are able to locate the version that changed it all. Version 1.76.1 has SVN revision number 4946.

Yes.

2. What programs are running in the background? It could be side effects of an antivirus or something memory resident of such type.

Same environment for all. Without booting into a totally clean Windows install I can't really test that.

3. The 1.77 build seems to want to connect to DebugConsole on ebspso.dnsalias.org, while the 1.76.1 one has the standard connection message. Why is that?

Tested without that and it still is the same. That hostname just points to the local machine IP. Same really as localhost.

Version 1.76.1 has SVN revision number 4946.

Doing that now. Will get back.

Strangely, 1.76.1 with the old GCC runs even faster.

r5452 is the last revision that runs at full speed.

Looks like the OpenGL reform in r5453 is the problem. (Needed to update to r5455 to get it to link.)

[cim]

That does add a fair bit of expensive checking to make sure the state is consistent and allow detection of errors while developing. If you build in deployment mode - make DEPLOYMENT_RELEASE_CONFIGURATION=yes debug=no - does it return to a decent speed?

Yes.

But that does mean that I now can't use the Debug Console.

[cim]

make BUILD_WITH_DEBUG_FUNCTIONALITY=no debug=no should disable all the OpenGL state checking (and some other safety checks which in theory shouldn't be needed) while letting you keep the debug console.

[another_commander]

However, this probably means that there is a local graphics drivers problem that causes the slowdown with heavy OpenGL checking. As far as I know there have been no other reports of this happening. Anyone else with GeForce 8600M GS/PCIe/SSE2 and drivers version 306.97 seeing this? Or, alternatively, for anyone using an Nvidia 8600M and does not see performance drops with the latest nightly builds, which drivers are you using?

[Cody]

Probably unrelated (I have a GTX 550Ti on Win XP), but I had some odd problems with recent nVidia drivers a few months ago, running the deployment trial build. I had to roll-back to the driver CD originally supplied with the gfx card. I'll re-install the latest drivers again this evening, and check performance on trunk.

[Tricky]

I'm beginning to believe it is the latest driver update. I don't want to use the official HP modified* driver for this laptop as the driver is over 5 years old.

* The modifications are just to improve compatibility with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray media.

[Cody]

I'm beginning to believe it is the latest driver update.

Have you tried rolling-back to an earlier driver? Unrelated, as I thought, but I've tried several recent driver versions this evening (including a 310.x-beta), and the FPS is fine in the nightly trunk. The later driver versions still do odd things to my gfx card, though, so I've rolled-back again. I'll have to email EVGA, I think.

Trying that gave me this...

[Tricky]

Update to all the problems I have been having. It's solved. Without changing anything but a few configurations to the nVidia control panel.

Threaded optimisation was the culprit. It was set to On. Setting it to Auto or Off got the FPS back up to normal.

EDIT: Also setting Texture filtering - Quality to Quality or High Quality.

Many thanks to all who tried helping out. It is appreciated.

[Cody]

Threaded optimisation was the culprit.

Ah... good. I've had that disabled since I switched to nVidia. Oolite doesn't seem to like it much (on some machines, anyway), it seems.

Yep. It has even caused CTDs on some machines (Core2Duo) whenever specific models are spawned.
