Now everything in the game will always be rendered at the highest framerate possible. <li>The implementation of camera smoothing was revised. Previously it didn't work very well when the framerate dropped below 35. In the earlier release candidates the smoothing was prone to fall out of sync, which caused slight skips in player movement. Now the smoothing works much better, if not perfectly. :-) <li>Mouse input latency was reduced dramatically. In earlier versions mouse input suffered from a noticeable lag. Now input events are processed as fast as possible. <li>Improved stability. A couple of segfaults were located and fixed. <li>The glBSP node builder is now a plugin in the Doomsday installation. GL nodes will be built automatically when necessary. glbsp.exe is no longer included in the distribution packages. It is safe to disable all the glBSP options in KickStart and let Doomsday worry about building and updating the GL nodes. The engine Readme has more details about the glBSP plugin. <li>Graphical improvements. A couple of FakeRadio issues were fixed. Lens flare defaults were toned down to more realistic settings. <li>Linux improvements include MUS music playback (see the readme!), configuration options for skipping compilation of OpenGL or any of the games, and display color adjustments (gamma, contrast, brightness). <li>To allow building Doomsday on a G4 (and other big-endian processors), a number of endianness issues were fixed.</ul> | Doomsday Engine 1.8.1 | updated | Doomsday Engine |
