Amnesia: The Second Dimension [READY FOR LAUNCH]

[MrBehemoth]

Good news: Amn's loop seems to have a reliable speed. I was concerned that, because it is just running as fast as the engine can run it, that it would have a variable speed, depending on system load. It doesn't - I've done some extensive testing and it loops at a consistent 60Hz, even with me deliberately trying to slow it down by, for example, making it assign 1000 random floats at each iteration, or do physics or lighting operations, or having 3 instances of the engine running at once, or having an 60fps movie playing in another window. Good work there. Kudos to Amn!

Bad news: Completely as an afterthought, I let it run for 10 min, which went fine, and the speed only varied to something like 60.01Hz. But guess what happened the next time it (un)loaded a map? Access violation, that's what.

500s - 30,000 iterations - ok
520s - 31,200 iterations - ok
540s - 32,400 iterations - causes a crash on the next (un)load.

It's also cumulative over maps, as before.

Maybe this is a completely new problem, or maybe the existing problem has nothing to do with indexing timers.

If you want to see my test map, just let me know.

Jens got back to me, BTW. He said he couldn't answer the question on the technical side, but that he could confirm that there were no updates planned, barring the appearance of major bugs. He suggested that I ask Apjjm, so I've PM'd to bring this thread to their attention.

I really appreciate all the help and support, but once again I'm at the point of giving up.

Edit: Changed the numbers above as I realised that the reason I was getting 120Hz was because the counter was being incremented twice on each loop. I guess the engine "thinks" at 60Hz.
