Caster has gone Gold!

Heh... There's quite few. This is a dump of the libs used by caster.

Thx. I did already install all the libs 32bit libs in the community repo and the game works fine now

[Svartalf]

Any update for the FPS code?

The only way to currently get at it is through the debug version. You can get a solid FPS count through BuGLe as it works correctly and it's probably a good way to get FPS on just about any game out there. I'll see if there's any impact with adding it in "proper" for the second episode release.

Well i bought it on tuesday iirc. It's version 1.1 according to the installer. Anyway i'm trying to install it on the 64bit version of archlinux but i seem to be missing some 32bit library the installer needs. Any idea which one?

It's my suggestion that you follow Arch's faq on 32-bit within 64-bit and install ALL of the compatibility libs. If you're willing to go through the contortions, the above list should be a good guide- but keep in mind, nobody on 64-bits has really had any major issues with the game once they put the whole suite of 32-bit compat support on.

If you just bought, it should be the version with the performance problem fixes in it. If you encounter slowdowns, you might need to download the update. If so, I can point you in the right direction shortly. Just let me know.

**Edit
Well after some tinkering i did get everything to work. Seems to run fine on fglrx.

Any update for the FPS code?

[Svartalf]

I just picked this up. Do i still need to update the game using the demo, or is the full game binary up to date by now?

>"Caster". FPS: %.2f FPS (perf): %.2f Swap Time: %.2f

So it is build for debug then? How to enable it there?

I was referring to the editor. I'm not wholly sure how to turn on perf counting from the Windows or Linux side (Didn't need to- used BuGLe to get framecounts, etc. as I was verifying GL code, etc...); I'll check into it when I get home and get back with you on that one.

From the Win demo:

strings caster.exe |grep FPS
>"Caster". FPS: %.2f FPS (perf): %.2f Swap Time: %.2f

[Svartalf]

Is the Windows binary the developer version? Would be stupid when somebody already bought the Linux one...

No... It's one built for debug right at the moment...
