[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1051390] [NEW] Very low frame rate under unity

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Public bug reported:

I have got 2 laptops running Ubuntu 12.04 and regularly updated. Both of
them have sandy-bridge processors with integreated Intel GPUs.

Both of them see very bad in-game performance in simutrans, where barely
12 fps are achieved. At this frame rate, the game is pretty much
unplayable. I tried playing it on Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Debian Wheezy
(Gnome 3) and managed to achieve 25 fps for every of them, which
suggests unity/compiz is likely to be at fault.

Since recent point updates to unity were supposed to tackle gaming
performance, I am leaving this as an issue related to simutrans. If you
guys think this is still a general issue regarding unity, please feel
free to change the package targeted by this bug report accordingly, or
mark it as a duplicate.
