First feedback for 1.18 Beta
I focused only on FPS gain. So before applying the beta program I loaded version 1.17 with the showfps flag and checked fps of my first 5 savegames, made with my ship standing at different place, and waiting for a stabilization (around 1 minutes). I did that by staying in the game each time. Here the result :
29
42
50
30
44
Then I applied the Beta patch 1.18 and saw this (second numbers, first are copy of 1.17) :
29 / 31
42 / 49
50 / 35
30 / 15
44 / 7
So I understood something get wrong each time I loaded a game. So I made the same test this time exiting fully the game, going back to Steam, waiting for the cloud Synchronization (doing nothing as I didn't save) and relaunching. This process between each reload, and here the result (third number, first 2 are copy of previous test) :
29 / 31 / 31
42 / 49 / 51
50 / 35 / 60
30 / 15 / 41
44 / 7 / 53
So 2 (obvious) remarks :
1/ Bad: Something get wrong each time we reload a game (memory leak, etc.) when we stay in the game.
29 => 31
42 => 49
50 => 35
30 => 15
44 => 7
1/ Good: if we take apart the loading bug, Nice fps improvement, Congrats Team!

29 => 31
42 => 51
50 => 60
30 => 41
44 => 53
This evening I will test other fixes.
Anyway, thanks so far for your work !:)
