Fair enough, the man can take his time with a masterpiece like Sunder. We’ll still be here.

A late update, but on the point about hardware, my Probook runs Map 18 (for example) at a minimum of 200 fps on DSDA-Doom using OpenGL. In the end, I suppose the best answer to my query really was “use better hardware”.

Thanks for adding it to DSDA. By the way, when it says "recorded in skill 3, plays back in skill 4" in the description of my demo on DSDA, what does that mean exactly? I wasn't even aware skill 3 and 4 meant anything with the -nomo parameter. Should I be including "-skill 4" in the parameters anyways for nomo demos?

Interesting point on Woof; using the example of God Machine, I find that Prboom-plus struggles with God Machine unless I play on a low resolution. On the other hand, Woof works with minimal lag at 1600x900 given that I turn off High Resolution in the settings. Hell, even Combat Shock map 5 is playable on my computer with Woof, despite having triple the monsters of GM on HNTR. In all honesty, the massive lag I get when playing maps is pretty rare, limited to some Sunder maps and the big maps mentioned above. I don't really want to go through the trouble of compiling another source port, so sad as it might be, I nowadays just avoid those maps.

I installed 1.32 (had to add `#include <cstdint>` to a file as I’m on GCC 13). It’s good and runs smoothly on earlier maps especially with reducing drawing distance and thinkers slowed turned on, with dynamic lights at 20 and a 800x600 windowed displayed. Map 11 gets a bit choppy at the start but it’s better than DSDA-doom and DOOM Retro in this respect. Map 15 is pretty slow but that’s to be expected. Great source port, thanks for the recommendation!

I’m using Sunder 2407.wad which I believe is a newer version. Did IG not fix the issue in newer releases?

I don’t really have a choice with hardware, so I’ll check the driver then. Thanks! Fair enough, I’m probably asking far too much from a 15 year old computer.

Yeah, it’s fine for the most part. I don’t know why but it can lag a bit even on smaller maps; on Plutonia 2 map 12 I’m down to 30. Nothing too serious though.

Interesting that you should say that, I have a HP Probook which of course runs better than my Inspiron. Shame it’s a work laptop…

I tried Crispy too after reading this. New Sunder is obviously off the table since it requires Boom but old Sunder is limit-removing so it should work fine. I played a bit of map 11 and it was pretty good. Not silky smooth or anything but playable. I used low graphic detail, high res rendering (otherwise the sprites kind of blur into each other, which isn’t ideal), capped framerate and widescreen aspect ratio.
