Linguist FPS - The Language Learning FPS - Rocket Boy Games
v1.08 Update Includes:
-A big improvement to performance optimization, those of you with beast computers wont notice. But for anyone playing on a slightly older machine (especially laptops) you should be getting a lot more frames per second. If you're not please let me know (and include your machine specs if you don't mind!)
-Graphical improvements to the supply room interiors. Textures improved and a lot more detail has been added.
-A small bug related to some of the doors not closing has been corrected. Wasn't game breaking but it was triggering my OCD a little bit.
If anyone experiences any problems with this newest update please let me know. I'm going to work on some bigger improvements to the actual game play features now. You should see them pretty soon!
This patch basically includes an extension that locks the mouse within the space of the game window during the mini-game where you help Grandpa sound out/pronounce a word.

I recently joined an MP game hosted where the players were complaining of poor performance, and I identified some issues and fixed them.
These performance upgrades mainly effect big MP maps, but because SP runs on an internal server SP get some small benefit.
The two issues were to do with unloading chunks and autosaving. The server was checking *every* chunk *every tick* for *every player*. With 10k+ chunks loaded and 5 players running around this server chunk unloading was taking 200+ms every ticks! I've since changed it so that the server only checks a max 200 chunks for unloading every tick, and this number goes down if there are more players on the server. This check is effectively instant now.
The second issue was with autosaving. For whatever reason it was taking 5 seconds to save lot data on their machine. On my test-big-map (16x16km) I was getting 500ms to save lot data. I have since multithreaded lot serialisation, reducing the save time to 100ms on my 24-thread machine, and moved the writing-to-disc stuff to a dedicated thread, knocking off another 50ms for a total speedup of 10x. Lot serialisation also occurs when a player logs into a server so this should also reduce/remove that lag spike.
VERSION 1.8.1 - 04/08/2022 =========== - [Performance] - vtserver: Lot serialisation is multithreaded. Reduces lag when autosaving, player log on and player log off. - [Performance] - vtserver: Lot saving to disc is done in a dedicated thread. Removes ~50ms of lag when saving on an SSD. - [Performance] - vtserver: Chunk unloading now only checks parts of the chunk array, rather than the whole array. Fixes constant lag in big MP maps.
Blazing hot summer is quite a lively season. Residents of the Breeze Plain is setting up the stage for a carnival of amazing fun. During the event, there will be a fireworks show every night at designated times. Please enjoy the festivity!
