#120 The renderering is slower on Vista than XP?

[Flemming N. Larsen]

Previously, I was developing Robocode mainly on Windows XP with a AMD Thunderbird 1400 MHz and a GeForce 3 gfx card. Here I got 32 FPS (Frames Per Second). It was running with standard JDK 1.5_03 (32-bit).

Now Robocode is developed on Windows Vista Premium x64 my new Quad Core 2.4 GHz and a Radeon X850 PE gfx card. Much, much faster hardware for sure!! Here I only got about 16 FPS (half the performance). It is running with the JDK 1.5_03 (AMD 64-bit server edition).

Why is it running slower?!?!?

This behaviour was caused by a bug with the calculation of the possible FPS. This bug has now been fixed, which means that the rendering is running much faster on most systems.

The bugfix will be available in the next release.

Try running the java client version instead - using the '-client' option at the command line. I've experienced a slowdown using swing when running the -server. -- Skilgannon
