Reply to DirectX 11 vs. DirectX 12 oversimplified in PC Gaming SorcererKing Forums

Do you ever do SIMD optimizations (manual vectorization with SSE & AVX)? The internal loop of the code you posted in GalCiv forums seems a good canidate for it. I'm a software developer myself and i do it quite often when i need to squeeze maximum out of the CPU core. The results are often impressing, up to 5x increase in execution speed. Of course a lot of algorithms cannot be parallelized by SIMD, but some do and if those take a lot of time in percentage of total time

Camera position in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I was always wondering why it's not possible to store camera position to a bookmark or something. This would be very simple to implement a great help for me and probably for other players too. Also why on earth the camera position is not stored to saved file??? Please Ironclad/Stardock implement this feature. I am myself a software engineer and i know this would be very easy to do. I can do it for you if you provide source code [e digicons]:)[/e] (just a joke) Tha

Any news from Stardock about the performance problems. The latest patches seem to ignore this issue.

It would be at least nice to know if Stardock can reproduce the problem on their office computers ...

It seems i was a little wrong, there is a Hal HWVP line at the beginning, but there's also SWVP line. I'm posting complete log. At the bottom you see error lines which infinitely repeated when drawing scene. I have cut the log, otherwise it would be too long.

I did some tests with debug version of DirectX and i have observed the debug log with DbgView application. I have compared the log output of Elemental with log of Sins of a Solar Empire. The Sins had this line included: Direct3D9: (INFO) :======================== Hal HWVP device selected This is fine and it means hardware vertex processing is enabled. However, i did not see this line in Elemental. Instead the last info line was actually this:

Patch 1.05 did not solve anything. I am very disappointed by the performance of the game. This is a turn based game which has nothing to do but draw a view of city and it does so at 12 fps !!! All other games run very smooth, i.e. Company of Heroes at 60 fps. If i had known that i would never have bought the game.

I have the same problems. Updated to 1.01 but it did not help. Chaning affinity speeds up a little (from 10 fps to 16 fps). My computer is Core 2 Quad 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon 5770.
