When I use /toggledecals the normal maps stay (in and out of the editor) but become warped. Not game breaking by any means but very annoying since I use this function a lot.

so, the new snapshot i don't have any issues with on sx or sx demos, but on 90% of the outdoor demos ive loaded into to see how the new snapshot would be i get 90fps. I have the setting on 0 which is what was recommended. My Parts are i7-10700k and a rtx1660 super. i have medium resolution tracks with full remover obj also, but when i use the 2021-3-31 snapshot im still able to get consistent 125fps with the same gfx settings and everything.

I tried an outdoor demo on 2021 Redbud and when I'm faced one direction I get 125 frames and when Im faced the other direction I'm locked to 71 frames and the occasional stutter. I have terrain sync rate on 0. Ryzen 9 3900x and 2070 super.

When loaded into some demos for a couple laps i was mainly locked at 91 fps or 111 fps.

Thanks for the report. I completely forgot about toggledecals when I was testing. Looks like it'll be an easy fix.

Can you post a specific demo? There's definitely stuff where the legacy GL stuff is faster than the new core stuff.

Thanks for posting that. On my 2400G's integrated graphics using the Linux/Mesa driver it was around 70 FPS for 2021-03-31-1566 and not quite a solid 128 on the current version. Does the gap narrow if you turn ground geometric detail and ground texture levels to 0?

Shouldn't have to since no new version is specified.

Is this vs the previous snapshot that switched to core OpenGL 3.1 or vs the older ones that used OpenGL 1.2+extensions? I know there's a performance problem with AMD cards on Windows with the new OpenGL code (i.e. since 2021-11-22). I was waiting on a new drive so I could install Windows on my AMD machine but I was already pretty deep into redoing the reshading code when it arrived. Going to investigate that now.

This is vs the most recent snapshot, 03/31. Not too sure about which version of OpenGL it was though. I've been trying a few different setups with my graphics card to see if there is anything I can do to fix it on my end, I'll let you know if I find anything!

1) Download the snapshot
2) rename the snapshot to mx
3) right click your mx simulator desktop shortcut and click open file location
4) place the snapshot in the mx simulator files

Note, it is a good idea to rename the old mx file something else to keep as a backup.

Hopefully this helps!
