Soundcaches
I think I just worked out one of the reasons behind GM's long load times: it's got a huge soundcache to build for each map. It's got to load each sound file, take the first second of it, then build it into a .cache. If you worked out how to add common sounds to the _sharedprecache file I reckon it might cut down on the amount of work that has to be done for the induvidual map caches, which are currently in the region of 30MB! --TomEdwards 08:27, 26 Nov 2005 (PST)

Bloom
In older versions of GM (Around the time bloom was first added), bloom was supported on older cards (DirectX 8). Why was it removed or made DirectX 9 only in GM 9?
