[Enigma-devel] Mac performance problems on some levels

[Ronald Lamprecht]

Hi Sidney,

After finishing 1.01 without any urgent error reports being posted I 
would like to address some remaining tasks. We did receive several 
reports concerning serious performance problems with a few levels that 
seem to be Mac specific.

The most common level is "Bright Dots" (Enigma III#38). Please read

Taztunes did report the same problem for "Deserted Island":

It is very likly that the problem is related to the number of actors. We 
already made a lot of preformace tuning on the 1.1 trunk version of 
Enigma. We did even improve 1.01 a little bit.

Could you please verify the problems on 1.00, check if the problem still 
occurs on 1.01 and make the same test with the current trunk version.

Depending on your results we would provide you with modified versions of 
the levels above to find the reasons.

Thanks,

Ronald
