Troubleshoot Atlas camera lag

Description

Lately I notice the camera movement in Atlas is very laggy, the screen will freeze for roughly 1s and suddenly it has jumped across the map. I'm not sure if everyone experiences this, but mentioning it in IRC shows I'm not alone. Also it occurs on a fairly high spec computer: Win 7 64-bit, Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2600k, 8GB RAM, etc. Camera movement in Atlas should be very smooth and I haven't noticed an issue like this during games.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Milestone changed from Backlog to Alpha 7

After further investigation, the delay was found to be occurring in Atlas_GLSwapBuffers(), which Philip suggested could be a driver problem. Sure enough, upgrading my ATI/AMD driver to the latest (from 8.861 to 8.872) fixed this issue.
