Yeah, that's where the 1.0 fonts were I think.
But as I said, better to delete everything really, if you didn't, you may still run into more problems...

Sorry, I have no clue. Can you tell me what I should delete more?

Attached are the 1.0 folder structure and also the nightly folder structure for comparison.
Make sure you don't have more than what's needed.

Thank you. I deleted a few folders (MISDATA for example) and I will observe that happens.

My first impression - nightly version is slower than 1.0

How I can do movement of my soldiers  faster? I put the Player Movement Speed on maximum, but soldiers move slow.

How slow is slow?
Could you post/link a short video on max soldier speed?
(Or measure the time it takes them to walk let's say 30 tiles, if you absolutely can't make a video).

I think there is a little difference in speed between maximum and minim in setting "Player Movement Speed" for nightly.
Between 1.0 and nightly on maximum setting difference is 4-5 times, I guess.

For 1.0 = 2.65 sec.
For nightly = 7.47 sec.

Player Movement Speed is maximum/

Yeah, that's very slow.
For me, it takes around 1 second on maximum speed to walk about 20 tiles (i.e. spend all TUs). On minimum speed, about 7 seconds for the same distance.

The FOV calculation (which is done after every step) is a very expensive operation in OpenXcom and people with old-ish PCs do experience lag after every step on higher player speed settings. I don't know exactly how much more stuff has been added to this operation between 1.0 and nightly... but I can imagine that it is now slower than in 1.0.

There is a thread (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4568.0.html), where FOV calculation has been significantly improved. In the meantime, this change has been merged into OXCE and OXCE+ (not into OpenXcom yet). Maybe you can try OXCE, just to see if the speed improves or not. If it improves, then it is definitely the FOV calculation; if not we'll need to search for other reason (but right now I can't think of anything else).

Can you build the OXCE or OXCE+ for Debian 8? Your builds for unbuntu do not work on Debian.

Did you get the debian8 build of OXCE+ that rimeia left for you in your Debian8 build thread?

If that one doesn't work for you, Meridian trying to make a Debian package is not going to help you, as apparently your libraries are different enough that trying to guess what compiled version will work for you is pretty much impossible.

That's why we said on the other thread you should try compiling them; if you already managed to compile OXC nightly, you should already have everything in order to compile OXCE or OXCE+, and the process should just be "make -f (whatever makefile you used)" when in the src directory of the new version you want to try.  You've already done the hard work of getting your first compile to run, any further ones will just take the time of waiting for them to finish.

I wonder, why Mozzila do not trying to guess my library's version when updating FireFox?
