The demo is chock full of crazy lighting and effects. The engine is still just as speedy, but as with any game, the more you add, the greater the toll on your system. I just downloaded the full SDK for 1.5, and most of the demo missions run just fine, no slow down. However, when I load the new Stronghold.mis, my framerate slows to a crawl. The mission is beautiful, but filled with tons of special effects, audio emitters, particles, ect.

Don't worry, the engine is still fast. Don't run away =)

You can never please everyone, and this is a good example.

4 months vacation sounds interesting though.

I dont know why people keep saying there fps goes down... myn stays as good as normal, has anyone noticed the cool trick in 1.5 , it has a thing so that when you shoot the ground you bounce up in the air, THATS FUN!

(kinda copied off team fortress 2 though)
