Nexuiz 2.5 released!

[[-z-]]

I made the getdeb (playdeb) guys aware of the release for whatever that is worth. I'll post an update if I get one.

Played on 2.5 server today with some random noname people.

One of them complained about how slow 2.5 is and that he's going back to 2.4.2.

Says something huh?

On a side note, I give you this: new antilag = aimbot It is great

Like every release, you get people saying, "OMG <this release> is crap, I'm going back to <the previous release> because I'm so important!!!"


Look at facebook every time they update

For most people 2.5 should not be slower.. of course there are always some machines/setups/drivers that might dislike some of the changed settings. If people really think they can judge a game after 5 minutes without even trying to investigate the problem (which for sure are fixable in 90% of those cases) just takes himself too serious. Besides trying to find out what causes the problem might also help others that could run into the same problem.

Like i know at least one guy that gets crashes on "windows xp, mobile intel chipset family 965". What helped was disabling the texture compression.. Maybe if there are enough people with that problem and after reevaluating the memory usage the compression can be disabled again. Currently its active because some textures got larger and can lead to performance problems on 128mb graphic card without the compression. But of course thats still better then bad drivers crashing the game..

*edit: slight typo, its 128mb cards*

Nice release guys. This looks real solid now.

(And yes, there is always people resisting any changes, even if the changes are for the good).

From what I've seen so far, FPS fell for everyone. For me it fell around 30% - from ~180 to ~130. Kojn said his pc now gives him 30 fps at most.

I have gained a lot of fps in 2.5. It runs so smoothly it's scary. And last I played kojn (two days ago) he said it was rather smoothly for him as well compared to the other version he had (dunno if it was 2.4.2 or SVN), and that he gained at least 5 fps.

It seems we should make a list with gpu/cpu to find where is the clue (why some people gain fps and why some people lose). I, personally, started to lose and reported this several months ago while testing.
