Over the past few days I've been having a go at Unity 5, and it's bugging the fuck out of me. Whenever I apply wheel colliders to a rigid body the fucking thing just takes off and fucks off to fucknoze where.

Turns out that I had to apply a rigid body to a cube, attach the the wheel coliders that and then attach the car model to the cube. I now have a car that's freewheeling downhill, twitchy as fuck but slowly getting there. Now onto stage 2, I need to code a script the apply torque to the wheels and aplly some steering. Oh and I also need to get the wheel models to spin with the colliders. |

*shrugs* I got as far as loading spritesheets in Unity, at which point I found I needed to drag and drop too many things to make it a quick and easy "replace X sprite" job. That's when I stopped. As much as I probably could've achieved with Unity, it just wasn't compatible with my regular AGameAWeek flow. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I got as far as signing up to be a developer and that was my coding time all used up for two years...

Come to a conclusion, fuck Unity, It's got slow as fuck frame rates. Also tried Unreal Engine and I'm only getting about 1 FPS, so fuck that too. My PC isn't exactly slow either, here's the specs. Motherboard: Asus m5a78l-m/usb3. Processor: AMD FX8320 Bullbozer Black-Edition @ 3.5GHz. GFX: Onboard ATI Radeon 3000 with 3063MB video memory. RAM: 16GB. HDD: 2TB. Unreal also keeps complaining about my GFX driver even though I've updated it. Both kits took ages to download and install, they both suck big donkey balls.

Time to learn how to get the most out of Blitz3D!

Onboard GPU is the weak link there.

You may be right there Dave, I'll probably invest in a card once I get a few other finances sorted.

There is some weirdness about this, I have managed to play Borderlands 2 on this machine with no problems and yet all I had done with Unity is have a car running on a plane with a ramp on it. That's just three objects so fucknoze what would happen with a full-blown Unity or Unreal game.

So Unity isnt any good for the casual market then? As most of them have onboard GPUs...

I expect it's more the editor that has such issues. Rendering in a window, whilst also drawing all the GUI, can't be easy on a poor onboard GPU. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yeah games run a ton faster stand-alone rather than thru the editor. But the bottom line is, if you're trying to run a game with highest detail settings with all the bells and whistles enabled, an off-the-peg £250 laptop from Pissy World isn't going to know what's hit it.

My Pissy World £350 laptop manages well, but then it's got a secondary NVidia gfx chip in it. (Selectable via Right Clicking the exe and choosing "Run With NVidia Gfx") Handy as fuck! ... .. For the three or four times that I've bothered to use it. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

In my case it's running like a bag as a stand alone game, and that's even when in fullscreen. Trust me, both Unity and Unreal are a steaming dogpile.

You might want to check there's nothing untoward running on your system.

Not sure what runs on a system with Microsoft becoming more and more like Apple with their bloatware. If you saw what was going on here then you would be pretty damn surprised, I would expect this kind of stuff to be playable on at least a base level but this is sub fucking standard. I've seen grandfather clocks perform better than this. --- I think I'm better off just sticking with Monkey. |

Microsoft did Bloatware LONG before Apple!!! ... But then Apple created iTunes, which is the absolute King of Bloatiness! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
