high load during play t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta42

[noone]

Hi,

during playing t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta42 I have very high load (140-180% at dualcore procesor).
Version t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta41 works well. I tried to disable many options in menu, but without
any result.

Thanks!

Humm the game can now detect shaders better; maybe yoru card says it can do them but cant do them very well; did you disable shaders in your tests ?

[noone]

Yes, I did, but the result is the same. The game do a high load and is very slow. Especially during combat.

I have this graphic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M] (rev a1)

I tried debian squeeze 6.0.5 and fedora 17.

Thanks for your response.

Can I provide any kind of report or configuration files to help identify the problem?

It looks like that the disabling shaders now works. Thanks for solution!

Hmm, the problem is still here. When I'm attacking foes, then the game is for second or two frozen. Even I disable shaders and also other options I tried (fps, resolution, details and so on).

When I'm stay with my rogue, then strace give me permanently (looks like some loop):

Maybe the problem is in this... What do you think? Thank you for your time and for this great game!

system traces can be nice, but so would being able to dump the program stack as I requested here:

The signal isn't implemented yet, I tried but the game was terminated:

Having the same issue here in Windows 7 x64. The game has been running for me for a couple weeks until I beat the first level of the Daikara. I beat the Tempest guy and unlocked the Archmage class. Killed everything there then headed back to town to sell loot. I got ambushed on my way to town and it started taking about 5 seconds between every action. Looked at my task manager and it was running at about 70% on a dual core proc.
Once I killed both dudes in the ambush it went back to normal. Went to town, sold my stuff, exited the game. I went back in, and went back to the Daikara to explore and as I soon as I got back in it slowed down again. Seems to happen as long as there's enemies on the map, even if they aren't visible.

I haven't got a clue what's causing it other since I haven't touched the settings since I installed it, I'm running the plain old beta.42 and the only thing I did was beat that quest.

Just a note, for me load times are very slow with the window open & superfast if I minimise the window. I think with some old video cards the load bar itself is slowing down the load. Could we have an option for something simpler: load ........ in plain text?
