Hi all. I have been testing out the new beta and am a little unsure if it is actually faster or not. Here is a little video of the same scene in both version 1.03 and 1.02.
As you can see there are some issues, but it's hard to put your finger on what is causing the strange lag, not to mention floating trees! I will work on a new scene specifically for the new version next. I have noticed some serious issues with the new occlusion system though on initial tests
Another 1.03 video. The scene is fairly basic and runs pretty slowly. I did add a fair amount of grass in, but even with settings down low it is still struggling for a small scene. I'm sure on a scene like this, I would have got 30+ fps quite easy on the first release, even with the settings on full.
Just another update. I was privileged to get a slightly updated version in advance of the next update. Still no quads in this, I'm pretty sure they will add those in before an official update.
Good news though as it runs way faster than the prior version!
