We have a blizzard sweeping through:
EDIT: Ran timeDemo on Windows and Linux on this scene. Amazingly, Windows beats Linux this time :confused:
86.6 fps on Windows vs 41.7 fps on Linux.
I must mention that I installed update for video drivers via some repo vs using native to Ubuntu Jockey. That might have screwed things up :/
UPDATE: Cleaned up driver installation, deleted old configs of the game. Squeezed out 70.6 fps timedemo on Linux.

This is looking very cool Motorstep. Do you guys have a company website I can follow? Or what's the best place to keep updated about SS2 and Tomes?

I am typically first to bitch about any issues, but this did look good.
Though after first game of this stria, i realised, this sort of games are not for me. It does look good, none the less.

ubuntu with unity is known to have perf issues. (hint! compiz)
unity 2d should work better..or some other desktop environments like xfce or mate.

No idea what you did differently this time motorstep, but this time the video worked perfectly with HTML 5 and WebM. :D
And it is looking very good too - I always wondered what id Tech 4 could really be made to do with more creative use.

I found an article on how to clean up Nvidia drivers mess. I don't think it's Compiz per se because before I installed new drivers I had no issues with performance in games. So I will give it a shot and will post an update.
This time I got ffmpeg working on Windows so after capturing video with Fraps I convert it into MP4 and upload it to YouTube. That's how I did all the videos except maybe a few that don't play on Linux (that was Fraps AVI directly uploaded to YouTube).
