Very low frame rate under unity

[Ghislain Vaillant]

I have got 2 laptops running Ubuntu 12.04 and regularly updated. Both of them have sandy-bridge processors with integreated Intel GPUs.

Both of them see very bad in-game performance in simutrans, where barely 12 fps are achieved. At this frame rate, the game is pretty much unplayable. I tried playing it on Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Debian Wheezy (Gnome 3) and managed to achieve 25 fps for every of them, which suggests unity/compiz is likely to be at fault.

Since recent point updates to unity were supposed to tackle gaming performance, I am leaving this as an issue related to simutrans. If you guys think this is still a general issue regarding unity, please feel free to change the package targeted by this bug report accordingly, or mark it as a duplicate.

Is this still occurring on Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn".

I can't tell you as I have both changed hardware and moved away from Ubuntu / Unity for gaming.
