Title: Fast framerate?
Post by: Spoon on October 30, 2007, 11:39:00 am

Coooool. Especially the red sand. Looked like a couple typos in the preparation screen, once this fortress explodes I'll start over and write down which ones. And no "explore" in the wordlist that I could find.

Anyway, noticed that my framerate is perceptibly faster. The intro screens run at about 150%, and seems like my dwarves are zipping around. Bug, compacted code, or is there a setting in the init file?

My perception is that Toady did some optimizations with the display code for during game play.  The reason you are seing a higher FPS at the main menu is because the graphics redraw and the game now have seperate framerates.  That is settable in the init.txt.  The default for the graphics framerate is 50FPS which is right about the sampling rate for the human eye on average.
