Hi everyone,

I just dowload the new build and I noticed a big framerate drop on my system. With the first build (5xx) I had around 25 fps at 1024x768 16 (all plants on) on my Athlon 500, 128Mo, Matrox 400.
Now, with the 868 build, at the same settings, I get around 12 fps max. If I remove all the plants...I get around 23 fps...

Is it just because of the smoother plant movement (can't notice it on my system)???? Will every new build require a bigger system or better graphic card to run it (of course I know this framerate drop is probabely not a big deal or not even noticable on higher end systems .... but on systems like mine (until I upgrade) ... it's sad .... had to reinstall first build....)

Someone else noticed that ?
