    PortalPlayer: My computer has 3.4GHZ CPU and it used to run TPT at 500FPS. Now it runs it at 160FPS max.

    Now I'm confused. Is double scale supposed to perform better or worse than single? "In double scale mode or higher, it's a lot faster." "it has to draw everything 4 times, making it over 4x slower."

    because it has to draw everything 4 times, making it over 4x slower. Also I don't remember what issue you are talking about, feel free to open a new one or edit the old one, whatever you feel like doing.

    jacob1: sure, but how does making everything bigger lead to decreased rendering times? Also, with regards to my previous mentions of grids in persistent display: should I create a new issue or update the one I made for GRAV?

    Right now when you turn on double scale mode, it does the scaling in software. Actually in TPT's code itself. It draws everything 4 times. In sdl2, I think it does it on the gpu.

    jacob1: huh. Why is that faster?

    RebMiami: I can't reproduce that bug because I don't have a mouse, lol. Does it for sure require both left and right clicking at the same time to happen? I know there's some issues with ctrl+z and gravity that could cause it, I haven't fixed that yet.

    Tron205: are you using the snapshots? I upgraded to sdl2. You may get a little lower fps in single scale mode. In double scale mode or higher, it's a lot faster. Dead9plus10Memer: To enable newtonian gravity on mobile, you need to turn on a setting first to make it allow it in the first place.
