Heroes of Newerth performance

[Laughing1]

The performance regression started in 10.5 fglrx. I think we need to make a phoronix test suite module for testing...

Insalled fglrx and tried to run it, got this:
K2 - Fatal Error: ARB_vertex_buffer_object not available.

Fixed above error with newer build script.

That is prob because flash tries to access the gpu

this is why HoNTV when it is avail for linux will be handy

Hi to all!

Yesterday, I did my periodic check on this issue, Heroes of Newerth + fglrx + Radeon 4670 performance.

I found that the game is playable again. I somewhat left the game aside for some time, so perhaps it is a bit of placebo effect, but I think the problem is solved.

Here are the versions I am using:

• Heroes of Newerth 2.5 ( Latest )

• Fglrx 11-11

• System Debian SID x64 updated ( Kernel 3.1 )

¿Any confirmation?

Linux 3.0.0, catalyst 11.11 .. still sh*tty performance

I have same performance issue with opengl on both windows and linux. With opengl on lowest possible settings i have about 30 fps in game and its drops below 20 in teamfights but with directx on mid/high settings i have about 50-80 fps and it is never drops below 30 even in teamfights. I am using hp 630 laptop with core i3 cpu and amd 6370m card with latest catalyst driver.

On the other hand, AMD free driver strategy seems to be working. When Squeeze was released, I tried their free radeon driver with a mesa version I got from the experimental repo (¿maybe 7.9?) and I was able to run the game!! It had some small problems, mainly the character and enemies were missing, but everything else was rendered correctly and fast enough.

I have much better experience with OS drivers. Native UT2k4 isn't playable with catalyst, because it lags terribly, but it works nearly perfect with Open Source radeon drivers. It's just a bit too slow on some maps, but there's no lag.
