T2D newb

T2D(1.1 Beta 3) is running kinda choppy for me?
From what I went through in the shooter tutorial on TDN the ship seems to respawn faster than 2 secs.
Is there some reason? Is there a fix? Isn't there some set timing for physics and etc.?
Also are there any complete tutorials for Beta 3?

When you say running kind of choppy, what are you doing when it starts getting like that? Or, is it just in general when you run it. As for the basic shooter tutorial on TDN, it should work perfectly - I wrote it for Beta 3...except for the particle editor part at the end...since they took out the table edit for it, none of that works and I will have to rewrite that. Other than that though, a few people have tested it out and it works fine for them...

Actually I liked that tutorial. But most of your suggested velocities I had to decrease, I'm not sure if its running choppy so much as really fast. I do nothing other than press the run button in T2D editor.

And thanks for the fast reply.

Now that I think about it.
Could installing DirectX SDK, Visual C Express, or Microsoft Platfrom SDK have an affect?

Yea, the velocities were based on the assumption that your camera view ended up being as large as mine, they would definately have to be tweaked should that not be the case.

As for having those things installed, i am not 100%. I have DirectX SDK installed on my machine and it works fine, you might try changing your display driver by going into EDIT->Preferences and changing it there.
