This notebook is driving me nuts.
Yesterday I had a #thermald config which gave me a score of 2400 with balanced.

Started the notebook today, can't get any scores over 1500 no matter which profile and I triggered the LEDs again.
Which I recorded this time and now know what they say.
Not that it is any help.

They were one Amber and 8 times White.
Which according to the manual means:
> Disconnect all power source (AC, battery, coin cell) and drain flea power by pressing and holding down the power button for 3~5 seconds.

#Unigine is quite helpful because I immediatly see on the lag when the CPU throttles.

Also if you for particular reasons want a replacement for #UnrealEngine that's still extremely powerful, go check out #Unigine absolutely underrated eye candy, #Flax a fairly young engine that's like a mix of UE and Unity and lastly #o3de a open source child of #CryEngine without all the yank.
@KmacNessa If you'd like, you can always run a #Unigine graphics benchmark tool like Superposition to check what visual settings would work the best for you. It's a simple install, and the menu gives you different 'low, medium, high' graphical options. The goal is to keep an average framerate of 60, and it's a pretty decent representation of 'most' games. You can find it here.

Oil Rush, ein kleines Techdemo-Tower Offensespiel für die #Unigine-Engine. Damals mit nativer #Linux-Version, ein riesen Ding! Inzwischen etwas in Vergessenheit geraten.

Dann 2022 zum 10-jährigen Jubiläum als Freeware freigegen ist es verschwunden. Homepage down. Downloads weg!

Aufgrund der kleinen Nachfrage von @Turrican haben wir den Kontakt zu Unigine aufgebaut und die Erlaubnis bekommen das Spiel in unser Archiv aufzunehmen - und da ist es!

Overall, it felt pretty good. Familiar in good ways and fairly easy to intuit from just the UI, which is always a good sign!

Haven't had time to dive much deeper into it. And tbh, only having a deferred path made me way less interested due to the nature of the things I tend to make. But! I still came away with an overall positive impression. Soo good job #unigine

I am currently testing UNIGINE with my Mech Concept.... Performance-wise I find UNIGINE next to Unreal, Cry and Unity quite decent so far.

Soooooo a funny thing happened today

Ran some benchmarks on some new machines at work running #linux, and one of my personal favourites is #Unigine Superposition. Benchmark mode ran beautifully, 90+ FPS at the highest preset.

But then we dropped into game mode.

Suddenly the game struggled to reach 5 FPS, even on the lowest preset. Weird.

Fiddled around with graphics drivers, made sure everything was in order, but nothing looked out of the ordinary.

What if it's the input handling? Had a silly idea and unplugged the mouse and keyboard, and suddenly everything ran smooth as butter. Plugged the keyboard back in, and the frame times jumped again. Tried a different keyboard, no problems there.

So apparently my colleague's mechanical keyboard has the power to kill game engines.
