Rage post: 95 engine is bullshit!

RagePost.Cry(@"
I'm sick and tired of what I see with 95 engine:
- random lags and freezes
- unit animation stucks, cloaked units have no animation at all
- animation of bombers and fighters jittering during reload
- bombers/fighters if ordered to rearm can stuck forever and from now will ignore every command, solution - selfd
- in general game become MUCH MUCH slower, it loads slower and it keeps much lower framerate than on 91 engine
I'd really like to see 1.5years rollback with a total wipe of all those shiny and new bullshit devs made for the last time.
Seriously.

This engine didn't bring something new in my experience, it just created new powerful kind of bullshit, THE bullshit much worse we had with 91 engine.

Flame, go!

All Zero-K hosts are already back to spring 91.0, so... what?

Well yeah performance is somewhat really bad, need to check out who is eating it all, in later game with
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
and nvidia 650TI boost 2GB I had only ~17 fps.

Why do we even try to use newer engines? we are doomed to stay with 91 forever

agree, i remember 8x versions being faster than 9x

I've had the same experience. To be fair though, we didn't have a lot of fps-hungry lua things back then.

I like how you say "start looking for C++ programers and fork it" if "we" would be some corporation or something. Maybe start learning C++?

Yes TheSponge great idea! Please get us some C++ programmers and make them fix the engine. Inform us on your progress.

Without saying that MT would be a good addition (so release your sources if you haven't already, zerver!), we really need to look into why things get slower each patch. Just requiring/using more raw computer power does not fix the underlying issues.

Well this would be totally awesome. For one, SL users could actually play ZK (when it's using 91.0).
