slow UI in C2 R53

loaded the space blaster example and the game layout view in Construct 2 UI is very very slow when scrolling moving the layout view.

game runs fine.

win 7.0 x64

5GB RAM

GPU Quadrofx 1500

AMD Opteron 265

For comparison....

Just tried in XP SP3 Geforce 9800Gt and it works super fast.

I would expect that the graphics card has little to do with that.

Just tried on (old) Win7 Intel T7500 — 4GB RAM laptop and fine here also.

Yeah it's a little slow on my "craptop" laptop, I'll see if I can speed it up a bit for next build.

It runs a lot smoother and a lot more usable on my home PC which runs Intel Xeon E5320, Vista 64-bit, 4GB RAM, and Nvidia geforce 8800GT. If it is the GPU then that quadrofx card is real old and crappy. I see this as a reason not to use Construct with it and stick to a gamer card.

I'll have a chance to test a newer Quardro 4000 and maybe a firepro V9800 sometime soon just to see <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I made a mistake which was slowing it down! :P I've sped it up for the next release. It should run OK even on old hardware then.

opened space blaster example c2r53

click onto the 'game' layout

move around and zoom the layout with middle mouse button. there was a delay, window redraw would update after a few seconds and not instant as expected.

It's slow with the quadrofx card mentioned above but much faster on a different system with a gforce card.

Hey, could you give r54 a shot and see if it's any better?

Fixed! Runs very smoothly on the old quadrofx card.
