Sorry for the delay, been to GDC all last week and answering emails all this week
I have posted BETA5 with the fix for the disappearing window frames, which might adjust your rendering visibilities so let me know if BETA5 hides things BETA4 does not. I am happy to have BETA5 be very close to the official one we release for V108.
I have read the thread up to this point and the other reports regarding extra features and other oddities will go in another update. V108 was mainly about performance.
Reality Forgotten, please build a small level built from default media and send me the FPM and also final executable you build too, along with a report on what your system specifications are and what you are getting when you run through the level (FPS rates at various points in your level) with comments on what you are expecting to see.
From the overwhelming reports on performance improvements from V108 it is curious you are getting performance 'reductions!' so it could be something to do with your installation of the betas, or the way in which you are building/testing levels. Email me directly with the above and we will go through your issues. I have done this with several other users and they are all showing speed improvements now in V108.
