It takes 2 or 3 seconds I think "to build up", and after that "warming up" period it works great and is more responsive.

For example, that is fixed, no more "wasted time", so no more "gratuitous latency".  That was just a mishandling of the socket.  That "warming up" was related to OS buffers, like I said in one post, but was caused by mishandling the socket buffer.  Performance-wise:  I activated the FPS counter,  I uncapped FPS , I tried to reach more than 60 FPS but I couldn't (maybe my driver in linux is not uncapped or I didn't set vsync off ... I really didn't attack the "60 FPS problem")  what I wanted to see if this code was affecting FPS in any way and I found it does not.  Maybe 2 or 3 FPS , but that's not a big performance penalty.  I would need to try that by slowing the game FPS (forcefully), simulating a slower hardware, and try it going on 30 FPS to see if it is more affected.  Anyways, any other users testing it would be something good.

Right now, I  really don't know if Windows will have its own performance issues when porting this.  Because I made use of some features of sockets that maybe are linux-only or maybe not.  I didn't get there yet.  I hope I don't crash with a wall when I decide to port it to windows just because of "sockets stuff".

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
