637 start menu slows down simulator

In the previous builds when running the simulator the welcome window would disappear, but in 637 it stays on screen and when the status message fades in and out with a new message it slows down the simulator affecting its performance and messes up the physics simulation in my game.

Can the next build either improve performance or make the start menu disappear again?

Thanks!

You mean like bullet time in the matrix? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 16308 reply_id: 60750[/import]

When you say “messes up the physics simulation” in your game, is that due to the reduced performance? Or is it actually throwing errors/causing crashes? [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 16308 reply_id: 60751[/import]

And it takes up too much screen estate…

How can I disable it?
I’ve tried selecting “Don’t show the Welcome window” in Preferences, but that huge window is still there… [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 16308 reply_id: 60768[/import]

Looks like it’s been fixed in the latest daily - “homescreen now closes like the old welcome screen” [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16308 reply_id: 60798[/import]

Are you on Windows or Mac? It closes fine for me on Mac. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16308 reply_id: 61906[/import]
