[fixed]getPrimitiveCountDrawn() return strange results?

I updated some of my projects to Irrlicht 1.3 and suddenly driver->getPrimitiveCountDrawn() stops working howe it did. It keeps returning for ever increasing number as far as there is some geometry on screen.

Does anybody else experienced it?

I guess everybody. I mentioned this problem on the Dev's Todo list, but no one changed it. It seems that Thomas likes this increasing number as he repeatedly reverted my fixes. I don't know what purpose these numbers have.

Its eye catching looking at string of changing digits and makes one occupied for a while wondering what it means

OK just a joke. Seems I have to go without it for time being. Thanks hybrid.

I think it returns the total amount of triangles drawn since the device was created, though I liked it better the old way.

Also it's no longer doing what it should do according to the documentation. I would appreciate it very much if someone would fix it again. The number of primitives is an important numbers for artists while this running numer is well... maybe somewhat nice, but completly useless :)

I'd like to second this.

Ok, fixed in revision 572. It was merely a wrong default value, but I also cleaned the FPSCounter interface. You can still get the total frame count and also an averaged frame count (in case you have rapidly changing values) via the undocumented getPrimitiveCountDrawn parameter: 0 is default, 1 is averaged, and 2 is total.
