Ok, another new (i think) issue is that hyperspace jumps now take 15+ mins.

frame rate drops to 1fps (indicated but actually much less), 100% CPU usage and swap file usage climbs to 2gb (max on my machine)

This is in the latest nightly build, I don't think the problem was there In previous nightly.

The hyperspace effect has always allocated a huge array on every frame. It is not vastly different from before, but looks like it now pushes your machine over the edge. I think it's better to optimize this case sooner than later 🙂

I'm still not very good at this git thing so I dont know how to roll back to a previous version to test (not that it really matters now anyway). I went back to Alpha 19 and it is fine but I know it doesnt have any shader stuff.

I have been trying out the Boa and it appears that the source of the main thrusters is set too far inside the model and it shining through rather than being at the back.

Also, not a graphics issue, but forcing the star dreamer (ctrl click fastforward buttons) will pretty reliably smash you into a starport rather than landing.

Apparently # 1020 fix segfault jump at the end of HS

Testing with:

Processor: Intel ® Core ™ i3-2100 CPU@3.10GHz × 4

Video (integrated) Intel ® Desktop Sandybridge x86/MMX/SSE2

8GB RAM

OS: Ubuntu Linux 11.10 with Kernel 3.2.7 vanilla

I was playing for a couple of hours last night (git version from yesterday afternoon I think) and my hyperspace issue is now fixed 😀
