Hey rich

Im having acouple of weired things happen. After applying patch 2 everything seemed ok. I tried recompiling the room demo now the man walks thru the once moveable objects instead of pushing them all the code seems ok though.

Also in my program i was using the terrain comand to load a terain and the bsp commands to load a bsp together with the landscape. This was fine before the patch i was getting
150+ frame rate. Now when i do the same the frame rate drops when the bsp map comes into view to under 20 fps.

Any ideas as to what the work around may be.

Not sure on the 2nd point without seeing some code (and God inventing 48 hour works!!!) but I know the first issue is because Lee coded around a DBPro bug in the Room Demo and it's now fixed which causes a problem. He's sent me some new Room Demo source code which I'll upload shortly for everyone.

Cheers,

I have the same problems using a BSP. I went from ~275 FPS in Patch #1 to ~25 FPS in patch #2. I made a room in Cartography shop outta 6 walls, 5 pillars with 3 ramps and a platform in the middle of each wall. I'm guessing something to do with the new BSP collision detection slowed it down a ton.

I can post my BSP if you need it to test Rich.

@ Kensupen

Same thing happened to me, I got 43 to 46FPS in the first demo of DB Pro, when I downloaded the Patch 2 demo, It went to 11 to 12 FPS...

My framerate remained constant form V1 to V2(Hammer map compiled with with Zoner Tools) , but even now, no Collision Detection works properly. (Get BSP Collision Hit(X) returns zero) Do you also have this problem?

Hit is never a good idea because its only 1 in the moment you hit the wall ... and if your object's moving with more than 1 per sync then you won't get a 1

ive never seen throu a bsp wall dont know how you did that LOL. Yes you can use a quake 3 map.
However ive checked the code thoroughly and there definatley is a slow down in fps of over 70% when a BSP comes into camera view. The collision works ok though.
I reported this and code to DBDN for further investigating.
