Don't stress about it, Sir Finkus.  Some was better than none, and now we know what to avoid/think of next time.   

@ teethering: Did your trader just finish conducting a meeting?  Sometimes it seems to take a little while for him to realize that the meeting is actually over, even though he says "no job".

No, some of those parameters don't exist.

I have:

[PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:0]

Nothing about 'Single Buffer'


Are you using the windows version?  I'm using the actual Mac version, no emulation

Whoops.  Yeah, I'm using the Mac version, but the 40d11 version which updates graphics issues.  The latest "official" version is 40d, but some very hardworking people convinced Toady to release a small part of the code dealing with the updating of graphics and such, and they've optimized quite a bit of that code, so the game is faster now.  You can find it at the link Frobozz so kindly posted.

I run DF on a Mac with very similar hardware and I get decent FPS.  Here's how I have mine set up:

[PRINT_MODE:PARTIAL:10]
[SINGLE_BUFFER:YES]
[FPS_CAP:100]
[G_FPS_CAP:50]
[VSYNC:OFF]
[TEXTURE_PARAM:NEAREST]
[PRIORITY:NORMAL]

Does that help?

Hey guys, I'm not levelling accusations or anything, but on second glance I think the photo with the shoe was shooped.  I can't quite put my finger on what, though...



So, what was scamps originally holding?

If you look at the original picture (from the dev-log), that one wasn't photoshopped.  So...what are you up to...?

The last time I got a PC (about 8 years ago now, and it still runs great), I spent the summer tinkering with the hardware and software, getting it to run just the way I wanted it.  (I hate Dell, they mucked up the installation so bad it isn't even funny.  I'd requested 98+ and the machine arrived with bloody ME!  Luckily they sent all the requisite installation disks for the programs I'd requested, and we had a 98+ disk lying around, so I could re-do everything.  I changed out some of the hardware at the same time.)
I got my new MacBook 18 months ago, built to my exact specifications, so it runs a dream without my having to do more than installing necessary new programs every so often.
I tried Linux, and wouldn't mind using it if there were a driving reason to, but between the Mac (with dual boot XP when necessary) and the Windows machine, I'm pretty well set for now, especially since I currently don't have the money to shell out on yet another new system.

is there any chance there is some live chat with those at the dinner? like some irc or something like that being set up, so those that can go there can talk too........ please?

Ooooh, so the rest of the world can also ask questions and make comments?  Love that idea!  Since apparently the restaurant has wifi capability, I guess it would boil down to having another dedicated laptop?  Or maybe the same one that Sir Finkus said that he'd bring in this thread: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=34364.0?

This disussion may be more fruitful in that thread, now that I think about it.

I wouldn't think so.  I'll occasionally get the same bug on my MacBook, but I haven't yet been able to figure out what causes it.
