[Engine.exe faster than my own compiled version?]

This is a bit sidetracked, but WOW.

I get like 200 FPS ony my laptop on a fresh project.

I guess the GTX680 is that kind of a gfx card you call a beast.

Disabeling HDR via SetHDR(0) gave a performance boost of 100 FPS, but still isn't that high as in the precompiled exe. Are there some more options, like Antialiasing or Anistropic filters, that are set higher in the framework maybe?

Btw, I did some mass physics tests, with instancing and so on and I have to say I'm pretty impressed by the overall performance of Leadwerks. Guess I'll stick to it

[Weird physics behavior]

Argl, I found the fault. I used ScaleEntity on the ground, instead of initializing it with the right size.

It's so typical for me - After trying around for an hour and not finding the error I post a thread about it and immidiatly find the cause

And another thread by me, sorry about that

I played around with physics a bit and I got this weird problem in the following code:

It's based on the spinning cube template. The problem is, that "body2" with the small offset of 0.01 in the x-coord just falls through the ground. It seems the spheres can only collide with the ground when they are perfectly placed in the middle of it. It works fine when using box-colliders though. What am I doing wrong?

[Engine.exe faster than my own compiled version?]

I also tried starting it directly - No difference. It could be because of the HDR. I'm gonna check that one out.

[Engine.exe faster than my own compiled version?]

the 1200 FPS is in Release mode, in debug it's around 1000 fps.

[Engine.exe faster than my own compiled version?]

Hey guys,

I'm new to Leadwerks and I just downloaded the evaluation kit. So I created the "Spinning Cube" project with the LEbuilder and compiled it in VS 2010. It works and looks the same as the one that's included in the SDK. However it "only" runs with 1200 FPS, while the one comming with the SDK (Engine.exe) runs at 1800 FPS on the same resolution. I know that its hard to compare FPS when they are this high, but the difference is just soo obvious. How does this come?
