OK, I installed Quesa and (to my relief) the program seemed to work,
except that it was extremely slow (when I pressed an arrow key to
move it waited about half a second and then showed the next frame).
This could be because I have a slow computer, but I doubt it because
3D graphics are usually not nearly as sluggish on it as they were
when running RACU. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is?
Could be that OpenGL is doing only software rendering on your
computer, whereas the other 3D graphics you're thinking of have
hardware acceleration via RAVE. Quesa does not support RAVE,
unfortunately, and probably never will since no new RAVE machines
have been made in many years.
But that's just a guess. You can look at the benchmarking window
(the one with all the little bar graphs) to see where most of the
time on each frame is being spent. If it's in "Rendering" then my
guess is probably close to the mark.
Incidentally, it ought to work under QD3D as well -- I'm not sure why
it doesn't, but it may be something as simple as a declare to "Quesa"
that we haven't properly set up a constant for yet.
Best,
- Joe
