Posted this in the RCT, thought I might get more help if I post it here:
Just a couple of days ago, I downloaded and installed Orbiter under Linux. You can imagine my surprise when it ran right out of the box in Wine, with no Winetricks, or having to download any obscure software or type any arcane commands :blink::woohoo:
But naturally, there was a catch: a 5 FPS frame rate :facepalm:
Now, that frame rate IS semi-playable for the patient soul who has been to Mercury and back in real time , but it makes docking a total pain.
I have removed ALL the eye-candy. I have tried every resolution except a UN resolution , and all the different devices listed (Direct 3D HAL, D3D HAL Wine, etc). 5 FPS is simply the max I can seem to get.
Here are my specs:
IBM Lenovo Desktop, 3.5 GHz, 2 Gb RAM, Intel Graphics running Open GL 1.4 Mesa
Kubuntu 14.04 32-bit, Wine 1.6.2
Orbiter 2010 P1, no mods (I'm not getting any until I figure this out)
I'm really starting to think it's just my hardware. I really hate to think this is gonna take money to fix
