Default GM3 new

Hi ZW,

tested new GM3. Wow!!! Heavy artillery fps between high 14 and 22. Was just a short test, try to make it longer. (later) BUT COOOL, i mean HOOOT!!!!

Lost nearly all my "houses" couldnt take a bath!

My tank is harder to steer. Is this what you wanted? Turns harder left or right.

Now you have your gardener!!!!! No stalls for my tank when ramming trees!! Wunderbar.

The enemie AI which had to outflank the German forces will not! Intended? They stood there and didnt move until i arrived and knocked them out. May be the have to attack!!!


Thanks alot much improvment.

I have used GameBooster in the past and was very happy with it.
I don't use it now I have a kick-ass PC,but it's worth a try if you are having speed/resource issues.

Default 4gb_patch.exe

Hey Guys

I found a program for all who have a 64bit system that I think you should
give it a try. It's called "4gb_patch.exe"

It patches the the way TvsT.exe handles RAM. I check it out with my Hex
editor and it dose allot of work on the *.exe plus it backs-up the original
file for you. And of course it is very easy to use.
Although I ran the patched file on my 32bit system (with no problems) it
is specifically designed for 64bit systems

Hi Zee, could you specify what " It patches the the way TvsT.exe handles RAM" means exactly in concrete terms?

Thanks

I have an older rig with a AMD 57 FX cpu and 7800 graphic cards in SLI and 3gigs of ram... and so far I'm keeping up well with the game frame rate. It's been about 4-6 so far during game play and that is with the settings up in high and using 1400/900 resolution. One thing I did tried out was a program called Game Booster... saw it posted at one of the forums and gave it a try. Game play seems a bit smoother now and I got a 1-2 frame rate increase going by Frap's.

So far have to say I'm impressed... just need a few more missions now for my eager crew!

Thanks woofiedog
Haven't heard from you in awhile
You'll like the new German mission 4 too for sure

Vorwärts Kamerad!

Hi ZW,

you tested it on your 32 bit system. Can you say more about it? What changes have you found? I dont think it would improve my system cause my 32 bit system detects about 3.2 or 3.4 GiGs out of 4 GIGS of Ram.This is the 32 bit system limits.

Thanx alot, hoping you having no difficulties with GM4.

Cheers

The best thing to do LC and Wilcke is check out this site for more accurate
details

http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

The benefits I received LC with my 32 bit OS was none. so anyone that has
an understanding Page File usage and a 64bit OS should give this a try
and let us know the results from the Task Manager.

Vorwärts!

No problems LC I've been taking my time and plying it
and still changing it around a bit as I play it. - Cheers ZW

Hi my Panzerkameraden!

I wanted to point out that i have a Win 7 Pro 32 bit OS. So it is not relevant for me.

Thats all.


Thanks for your kind "support"

Hallo Kamerad LC,
I e-mailed the fellow who wrote the 4gbit patch and asked him if he could
wright us a patch so tvt could access more than one CPU. But he said
no.

Oh well, it didn't hurt to ask him , but his answer hurt.

Default FPS booster

Zee did he say no as in no way I am going to do that or no as in I have no time right now?

Well, what we need and I am surprised somebody in Silicon Valley or Europe or Japan/Korea/Taiwan has not come up with soem kind of plug-in device that would boost your fps rate by say 40%.I know there are external graphic cards( unfortunately only designed for the Fujitsu-Siemens brand of laptops) , external hard disks and all kind of often more or less useful gizmo on the market but nobody has come up with such a device.When you think how huge the gaming market is(US $ 150 billion and growing at 11% a year) and how international ( no longer restricted to Europe and North America. Asia, Eastern Europe and LatAm are catching up fast))it has become there's tons of money to be made by inventing a thing like that!.

I don't want to sound dismissive of 4gigpatch or prioaff but frankly this is small potatoes.Giving a 1 or 2 fps boost to a game that need to run at 20 to 30 is like putting a plaster on limb that has been chopped off!

I believe it was two fold - time and work on a specific game. I am totally
confident in Daniel's ability to create a performance patch for PC Sims and
Games as a general wide range patch. And he just started a new job at
Hex-rays in Belgium that he says(in his blog) he is very happy with.
I think he deserves allot of appreciation for what he has already done in
sharing his excellent programing skills with no charge. This fellow is truly
generous and highly skilled.

Hi ZW,

thank you for your efforts. Dont see that as a failure, see it as a step forward. Now we know that this is not the right way we have to make another way around like an Königstiger wich cant pass a bridge. There is another way around, so heads up

Hello old fellow Monsieur Frinic,

Quote: I don't want to sound dismissive of 4gigpatch or prioaff but frankly this is small potatoes.Giving a 1 or 2 fps boost to a game that need to run at 20 to 30 is like putting a plaster on limb that has been chopped off![/QUOTE]

See it the other way around, if TvT is running with 1 or 2 fps we have all the time to target the enemy and make a bulls eye hit Then they will call us Sharpshooters like Otto Carius with more than 150 kills.

Salute


LC



PS: Morty my old comrade where are you? Hope not enjoying those female tankers!
