I do experience this a lot also... maybe you get that with people running with 17-23 approx FPS. Dunno

I run at these FPS and do not get this jello effect. I do not know what causes it.

>>Ctrl-"N",stops shaking,for me. We also get blinking,seems video card related,but have no other solution.

occasional engine rendering problems
 

and if you pause your game and ctl tab to some other program like talking on line and going back to the game it can happen as well. I experience it more when I slow my PC down to test over all FPS rate's for lower end machine's but at full running capabilities it happens much less if at all.

Now that my friends is what I call professional testing! Well done Leo, its so rare to find such dedication these days....UBI, take note!

Hi Chopped50 , I would certainly think about lowering your screen resolution for this sim
if your only getting low 20's fps playing in 1600x1200, I prefer to sacrifice some good looks for in game performance and smoothness .

Leo,

I've been following this thread on and off. I gotta say, this looks freakin' remarkable and I can't wait to try it out. It's SO different from the stock screens. Stock looks like a typical 3D ocean. This looks real.

Has anyone done some very high resolution side-by-side comparison shots where the LBO pic is as close as possible to the non-LBO pic, so we can toggle back and forth and see the difference? Though I get the feeling you have to see it in motion to really appreciate it.

BTW, I also had the jelly effect when I tried it about a month ago, and I run at a very, very high FPS. The jellywaves would oscillate at about 4-5 oscillations per second within a very small (~20-30 sq foot) area of ocean, usually very close to the boat. My rig is 3.1 GHz Core2 E6600 with an EVGA 8800 GTS 640 MB overclocked. I do turn on 4x Multisampling AA and all the high-end in-game post processing options and so on. I usually saw the jelly from the bridge while looking to the left side, maybe 45 - 90 degrees left of bow. Maybe we need to sort out the cause of this by everyone sharing their system specs, FPS (in a particular port so it's all matched), and graphic settings.

In the new mod being Alpha released on Friday

I have noticed less and less problems with my original ocean work and how the game handles things. We managed to repair a lot of things going on with the game graphics wise minsc_tdp I don't know if it is because of how many times I load or reload the game or what ever but havn't even seen it in my own game for a while now.

The new team I have working with me have been busting ass helping me work out all the bug's in differn't environmental stuff so the enhancments we are making don't come appart at the seams so to speak.

But this is an alpha release on Friday so we can see what everyone says and what we still need to work on.

I'm running the sim on my new rig, 3.2 Dual Core, 2 gig RAM, NV 8800GTX, and SB X-Fi extreme, Win Vista. FPS isn't an issue..I'll try the ctrl-n thing, although switching cameras hasn't worked for me.

Thanks again, though for all the hard work you mod guys have put into this sim.:rock:

Quick question whilst finding my way around all the mods for this game.

Is this fantastic piece of work different from the "Better Sea Environmentals" referred to in the TM 1.6 readme, or was that just a typo?

Thanks

Duciums added LBO the second release of it in T.M. so it is there. And also if you use the new ROW mod LBO is in there as well.

Hope that info helps you out.

As much as I hate to do it to this Mod
 

This mod has been replaced by Reflecions on the Water and is incorporated into that work!

So you can consider this mod thread Closed and either unsticky it and let it Die or Could a Moderator delete it from the Mod's Room?

Thanks everyone for down loading it and the support.

Leovampire/Dave:

Although this mod has merged with the Refelctions on the Water mod, we won't ever forget the hard work that you put into this one!

Thanks for giving us this great mod!!!

Hey man, for what its worth this mod has made me love this game. I walked away from it, but all the while kept an eye on the forums. I downloaded this and a couple other small mods and I fell in love. In all reality I should curse you and your kind for the many hours of sleep that you have stolen from me, but intsead I'll just say.......thank you :up:
