I have about 3-4 FPS on my laptop with the same RAM and a not so powerful graphics card as a 7800. It might be due to some Glew issues. Try to upgrade the Glew package in ORTS (located in the win32 zip) to a newer version, otherwise I don't know what's wrong. I use Glew 1.3.6. Can be downloaded at http://glew.sourceforge.net/.
There are however some strange issues with the 3D GUI on Windows. On Ubuntu at the same laptop I have much higher framerate, and on Windows the terrain textures are cut in half (diagonally) with one half correct texture and one half just black. I haven't got an answer from the developers why this happens.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I tried the latest glew(1.14.0), there is no difference.
My machine is definitely fast enough so I am wondering how others work with such low FPS? en, probabaly, as you said, the FPS is good on other platforms...
and, I noticed you replied to others about VSTOOL,
have you tried VSTOOL to generate other apps except orts and ortsg?
I tried app.dcdtpath, but, there are millions of errors!
thanks.

I have successfully compiled the daily snapshot for today in WinXP using VC 8 and the files in win32.zip. I am also experiencing the exact same problem. The fps is less than 3 and the screen does not refresh itself. The only way to refresh the screen is to resize or minimize it.

The issue has been resolved. Low fps is caused by using debug libraries.
A new windows ORTS installer that also contains information on this will
be released soon.

Did this ever get sorted? because im experiencing the same problem but usually with an fps from 0.05 to 0.5. I got a AMD athlon64 X2 2.16 GHz, 2G ram, Ati Radeon X1950 Pro on XP 32bit. Thanks for any help.

for me there is no difference between release and debug both have low fps ,
os:Windows 7
video card: geforce 1gb ,. i don't know the model
…
i don't think its because of hardware any way , then please update source code and third parties if that helps.

Hi,
I am new to ORTS, don't know if I am right to run it:
0. my platform is PC Win32, graphics card is Geforce 7800, RAM is 2GB
1. I downloaded the daily snapshot
2. open orts-project.sln with vs2005.net and built orts and ortsg successfully.
3. double click orts.exe
4. dboule click ortsg.exe
5. with several minutes, a window 'ORTS GL Client' appears with FPS only less than 1FPS
what is wrong with my steps?
thanks

no answer to this for over a year? is the project alive?
I have a 8600m, intel core duo and 2gigs of ram and the game runs at 1fps.
My guess is this it not the problem but make sure you are not running the debugging version. The debugging version adds a lot of overhead.

hi, Michael
Has that new windows ORTS installer been released? If so, where can I found it?
Because my ortsg is still running at less than 3fps
Hello Michael,
I am also interested in having a windows ORTS installer. It would be wonderful to get access to if it is available.
best wishes,
awilson

So I guess the installer hasn't been changed, but you can always manually make sure the release version isn't using the debug libraries.
for me there is no difference between release and debug both have low fps ,
os:Windows 7
video card: geforce 1gb ,. i don't know the model
