Works, faster

Works, no difference

Doesn't work

I can't tell, I'm too busy being.. oh god the carp

[Proteus]

35-40 --> 50-60 FPS
(7  Dwarves, Win XP)

Great thing 

[eidahl]

40 fps to 100fps (maxed). AWESOME! 

[PopeRichardCorey]

Works like a charm!  It's not up to the old 40d# levels, but I jumped from about 25 FPS average to about 70 average.  With only 7 dwarves, though; I hadn't been able to play at 25FPS long enough to get migrants.

[Sarstan]

Curious.  I put in the file you offer and more or less half the play area goes black and the last row of tiles that should be at the bottom of the rest is seen at the very top.  I take the file back out and the whole screen is visible with no issue.  Didn't really check the frame rates for this since it's not very viable to play as such.  Hope this helps figure it out, though.

[Tarran]

It works, but not really a major improvement (right now) ~60 FPS to ~70 FPS, still, every FPS is worth the extra file.



Edit: it also sometimes causes weird screen bugs related to the window. (could that be from partial print?)

[Iasnek]

All it does for me is exactly cancel out any benefit I normally got from using partial print.
Oh well.

By the way, the "df directory" is the main folder where df is in, right?  Just wanted to make sure I was putting it in the right place!

Yes, where else would you put it?

[Creamcorn]

Adds a needed twenty five FPS, totally worth it, occasionally dips but only for a second.

You deserve it!

I had this problem at first, too.  But, if you turn off the intro, it shouldn't do it anymore and should play normally.

[David Holmes]

Another happy customer.

Brought my FPS from ~40 to 100 (max).  Windows 7, Core 2 Duo 6420.

[Pasakoye]

This worked really well for me, but is there anyway to change the MediumPurple color back to gray?

[Jurph]

Hey Baughn, love the work you've done on the 40d# series.  I lead a team of SW developers by day, and I'm looking over the case studies in this thread... the reports are pretty inconsistent.  If a certain user was willing to run some number of test cases greater than 4 but less than (say) 32, what cases would be most helpful for you to look at?

I'll be trying out your DF_Accelerator code, but I figured I might as well generate useful test data while I'm at it.

[Baughn]

There's not much point.

DF accelerator is an extreme hack; that it sometimes fails is by no means unexpected. It's been deprecated for a very long time by the more proper d# rewrite, so now we're just waiting for that to be merged.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure I lost the source code at some point, so.. yeah. ^_^

[Cockyy]

Just wanna say thanks, went from 3-21 FPS to 99-100FPS at all times on my laptop

Alright, I'll just goof around then.  Thanks again for your great work on making DF at least pseudo-multi-core (1CPU + many GPU).
