I guess I should have written this a bit more clearly Smiley

These optimizations are mostly for Linux client and server performance. Windows doesn't benefit much from it, although still trying to improve performance a bit yet.
Core2 is the oldest CPU supported then in Linux, but maybe I can go back to a bit older CPU's yet now that the rest of the optimizations seem to work flawlessly.

not exactly a bug, but:
cleaned up OpenAL to work better with OpenALSoft in Linux, changed some bad coding, improved EFX error handling. Maybe will fix some of the problems in windows people experienced with non CreativeLabs cards as well.

fixed- or rather updated CPU detection code for Windows.

instead

Init: CPU Speed=2527.041901 MHz
Init: CPU Page size=4096, Processors / Cores=4
Init: CPU Detected: PentiumPro-class processor (GenuineIntel)
Init: CPU Features: CMov FPU RDTSC PAE MMX KNI

it provides now more useful data like this:

Init: CPU Speed=2527.080895 MHz
Init: CPU Page size=4096, Processors / Cores=4
Init: CPU Detected: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU       M 460  @ 2.53GHz
Init: CPU Features: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 SSSE3 SSE41 SSE42

or on AMD:

Init: CPU Speed=3221.559491 MHz
Init: CPU Page size=4096, Processors / Cores=4
Init: CPU Detected: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
Init: CPU Features: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 SSE4A A3DNOW MMXPLUS A3DNOWEXT

also updated internals:
Code (C++)
Select All
        extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsMMX; 
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE2;   
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE3; 
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSSE3;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE41;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE42;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE5; 
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsSSE4A;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsA3DNOW;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsMMXPLUS;
	extern CORE_API UBOOL GIsA3DNOWEXT;


for C++ mods and maybe internal updates of something in 227.

Like in previous versions, each CPU feature can be disabled via commandline during startup with "NO....", f.e. "NOMMX".

Does Unreal 227 actually support every mentioned instruction set?  Shocked

no Smiley

There was never much use of these, indeed there is some A3DNow code spread in here and there, although the implementation looks unfinished, it's not usable. Probably they gave up on it as an instruction set very powerful but not available on any CPU.

Currently MMX is used by Galaxy and SSE/SSE2 is used by OpenGL/D3D9. That's it already pretty much.
Everything else has to follow, if there is someone willing to make use of it.

Added yet another catch for execPlaySound / execClientHearSound crash issues.
fixed bullet holes dont work on flat surfaces (not sure if mentioned somewhere already)
fixed blood drip rotating wrong when standing still

yet some more small things I can't remember atm. Don't worry, there is still progress.

UED2.1: fixed building of very large and complex spheres (which did work yet in UED 2.0 due to compiler reasons, but crashed in 2.1)

Edit: seems that the changes for this also has a nice improvement in performance, for both UED and Unreal, so it seems that UED can build maps approx up 20% faster and I got a gain of about 5% FPS in my benchmark map on my testsystem (Windows only compiler change).
