Dwarf Fortress - An Adventurer Emerges + SDL2 Upgrade and more 🗺️ Dwarf Fortress Update News - Steam News
store.steampowered.com
This month we have several goals. We're going to start by getting the experimental branch moved over to the main line. The update of the engine from SDL to SDL2 is stable, and there will also be a multithreading option. It's off by default until we get some more testing done on the experimental branch, but the speed gains are significant, so it will be available in the settings as well. The update to SDL2 was the most important change for ports, so Linux and Mac versions are much closer now.

This was announced earlier this month. Pretty exciting with the implications of simultaneous multi-threading. Hopefully it mitigates FPS death.

What are your thoughts?

    I’m excited for adventure mode!

    Also looking forward to the ammo bug getting looked at, I stopped using marksdwarves after an entire squad died while trying to beat a giant to death with their crossbows.
