A27: Very poor performance on weak hardware?

[Seleucids]

Could we perhaps monitor the time taken to handle each task (e.g. how long it takes to execute a particular C++ function) to find the source of lag?

Another idea is async the GUI from the backend engine. Let the GUI run smoothly with animations but without attaching them to the simulation update loop of the backend.

You can look at profiler2 see https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/Profiler2

But most importantly we need to compare with A26 or at least maybe the first RC before the release was cancelled last year.

Thanks for the guide. My main question is: how can I re-compile the current release version of A27, as well as the released A26? 

I'm on Linux, so I assume I would have to download the source_code.zip right?

Yeah that's correct. Although if your repos still have it you might install it from there

I don't feel any difference personally but many people complain about it

amd ryzen 3600 (it funny i remember i had a lot of weird bug in 2020 but the kind staff 0AD fix it !)

I also didn't notice any changes in performance, although I thought we would see a significant improvement in this alpha.

Do you use GL or Vulkan?

Both, it made no difference to me.

Usually vulkan should have more stable fps than GL. I guess the users which will see the biggest difference are mac users (up to x5 fps)
