Hi guys,
So today the tile rendering changes were almost completed. (Just a few bugs left with platforms and pipes).
On a lot of computers you’ll see an absolutely huge performance increase because of this and we’d love to hear about how it works on yours.
So if you’re playing with the nightlies, please give it a go. It should come out some time tonight/tomorrow.
You can find out what FPS you’re getting by using the /debug command and the /togglelogmap command. You’ll see your current FPS displayed under render_fps there. If you want to see what your maximum fps is you can disable vsync via config to hit above 60.
As always, if the game is crashing on startup in the nightlies, just delete the universe and player directories (after backing them up) and delete starbound.config.
Hopefully the performance increase will be as huge as it’s been on our test machines!
