[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 369608] Re: Runs unplayably slow

[Spindizzy]

Good news.

Version 2.2 RC 1 _appears_ to have corrected the problem.

Compiled:
configure --prefix=<dir> --enable-debug=no
make
make install

Single player, skirmish, Highland map.  Game completed with only a hint
at one point of any sort of delay in the game.  Either an update fixed
it, or someone else figured out where the issue was.

Binary package hint: warzone2100

Prior to installing Jaunty, the game was quite playable, with the only problems showing up with a slight lag in 8 player skirmish towards the end of the game when there's lots of units.

After installing Jaunty, even a two player skirmish quickly becomes unplayable, with updates every 2-5 seconds.  The more players, the later in the game, the more lag.

This happens both with the Jaunty 2.1.3 package, and with a fresh compile of 2.2 beta 1.

Granted, this is an old IBM Thinkpad T40, but prior to Jaunty, the game ran very well.
