Anyhow, the new version it is NOT ABSOLUTELY slow anymore.
If you find my level SLOW, well, you will notice the same slowness in ALL THE OTHERS.

Simply TRY.

I have tested in MANY DIFFERENT KIND of PC use condition comparing it with other THREE custom levels. This is what I got.

At the PC starting:
My level and all the others, were VERY FAST.

After 20 minutes of pc working:
My level and others were WELL WORKING.

After an hour of pc working:
My level and the three others are well working except in some moment.

After three hours of pc working and two hours of internet connection:
My level and others GAVE THE SAME SLOW RUNNING PROBLEM. This means: Lara is VERY fast when she moves and walks around. BUT when she shoots with the little guns, AND COMTEMPORARILY jumps and runs and rolls, THE GAME IS SLOW for ALL THE THREE LEVELS I HAVE TRIED AND MINE TOO.

I have tested Lara shooting and jumping and rolling and running FOR EVERY ROOM for ALL THE FOUR LEVELS.

So, as I said, if you have the last version and you find it still slow, I ASSURE YOU that at the same pc condition you'll find EVERY level slowrunning the same way.

I have tested it comparing with three others levels for FOUR days COMPLETELY trying to replicate different pc conditions but the same for each levels.

SO I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE THAT MY LEVEL IS SLOWRUNNING: MAYBE YOU NOTICE IT CAUSE SIMPLY YOU TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM!

Or you do not have the right version, as this morning you didn't have....

I'm not talking about the whole level, just the large area with the MASSIVE amount of objects and THAT's what maked the screen go stuttering

only if you are on like a 1Ghz with G-force 2 it would go fast, but most people don't have that kind of supercomputer

the slowness you talk about with lara's guns is just a whole other story, that's just because the TR4 engine isn't perfected on actions

it's just because you've put so many large objects in the same room, that's the prob!
I've experienced it myself, the Puzzle Room in my second level has also a lot of objects in it, and when you look around in that room, the screen also stutters

so you have to agree that the TR engine isn't the best one out there!

and don't try to take this like a dis, just giving you the facts

So NOT a NINJA PC.

And it works perfectly, even in the largest room, it does NOT matter the number of objects I did use.

If for you it is slow, I really do not know why.

I told you all the tests I did with other THREE levels, and they gave me the same results of mine.

And Driber, sorry, but you DO NOT have got the problem.

My level, in the first version was unplayable. Lara couldn’t move even only to walk, not only run and shoot. There was less than one screenshot per second in that room, expecially after the flipmap.
Who played the first version had to give up. Now you can WALK, RUN, JUMP, LOOK, SHOOT, ROLL at the SAME TIME.
I ASSURE to you it is COMPLETELY FAST, now.

As all the email I received told me: I asked people who played for the first time NOW, and who played the TWO version. Do I have to publish private mails?

You can’t imagine the matter that happened in the Italian TR forum caus someone blamed on me: I did a NEW version of it ONLY TO SHUT UP ALL OF THEM... I HAVE really solved the problem: now it works WELL as all the other THREE levels I have compared with it.

I stayed FOUR days only playing them to compare their performances, and to assure a sure, safe and good product to all of YOU PLAYERS.

Tell me about ANYONE who did SUCH tests like I did, and designed a level for so long time.
And probably for those testing of VERY FULL FOUR days I won’t take an university exame.
