Tracking: Player performance tracking for Linux

[com1clyf3]

Thanks for reporting your performance! Follow the steps below.

1. What's your specific OS version and hardware specs:

If you need help in how find this info, follow this guide and report all the info it gives you. There will likely be a file produced with all the info for your specs you can drag and drop into your report.

2. FPS & Describe the issue:

Briefly describe how your game is behaving. Is the entire game laggy, or do you experience lag only after you perform a specific action? Is there a specific set of steps you have found that create the issue?

Press ~ and your performance display should pop up. Your FPS will be found under "Frame Time". Go and perform whatever action is creating your performance issue, and keep an eye on this number. Afterwards, describe the range of your FPS.

ie "At start game it's 30FPS, after an hour it's more like 20 FPS, and when battling it drops to 0 FPS for about five seconds, and then goes back to 20 FPS."

3. Build number:

Each DwarfCorp build is tracked by its githash and/or release number, and plenty of performance issues are unique to certain builds. The easiest way to find this info is by opening the game, and looking at the bottom right of the start screen. There you should see the release number, like this:

(Linux: You'll only see the release number. Don't panic. That's normal.)

And that's pretty much it. We might have some follow up questions for some of you, but otherwise you can drop off info at any time, and it'll be a giant help for the game! Thanks for helping make DwarfCorp a more stable thingy.

For reference, other performance tracking can be found via these issues: Windows - #711 Mac - #710 Linux - #712 DwarfCorp's Weekly Tracking - #651
