ZW

what should we do? Is it enough for today and begin tomorrow or later with fresh "minds" or should we go on.

From my work with pcs (my first one was C64) i learned that some times it is better to stop and begin the other day. With fresh power and fresh energy.

Or do want to go on

BTW, have to clear the cache after the Kursk mission, problem with textures not showing in the other missions. Like Lc, if I don't, get a ctd. Not sure how to do that without doing a restart of the game itself. I have made a shortcut of the bat file that clears the cache, but can't minimize the sim to get to it, have to leave the sim itself completely.

Hello all !

now my first experiences:

all missions start fine so far, but I have to empty the cache folder manually otherwise CTD at next start after choosing mission

I made a double installation under Vista and Windows 7 Ultimate with same experiences on both platforms (see above)

very low FPS when choosing "Zitadelle", possibly due to so many moved objects on the screen - to be improved

in general no crash while a mission is running - very good !

for the beginning I set resolution to 1024 x 768 at 70 Hz with video settings as proposed - I will go on testing other settings

so far very good work ZW, go on..... - I feel that this is really great stuff !

now it´s time to go to bed...

Michael,

Well done Kameraden, Good night

Well ZW, got so caught up with these missions, I couldn't stop playin',lol As for my spec's-

Win 7 Home
AMD Athlon Phenom II X4 2.8 GHz Quad Core
4 GB DDR3 1600 RAM
ATI 5750 1 GB (using the Cat 10.1 driver)

Here's a comparison of FR's between the 1st German mission, and the Kursk mission.

This the Kursk mission

Frames might have climbed to a bit over 2.5 at Kursk, but seemed to run ok, had a hard time keeping up with everyone else, they were out of site before too long. Even with increasing my tanks speed, they got away quick! That second pic I put up, was also where it locked up on me.

There is a lot of gun fire sounds being played, which might be the reason for the slowdown. With all the graphic process' being done, then throwing in the almost non stop gunfire sounds, is a bit taxing on the system. Will try some different settings in the sound setup in TvT to see if it will help.

All in all, having a blast!!

Hi eddie!
I know it takes (I believe) a very fast CPU and that would help very noticably
Do you try over clocking your CPU?

Oh,btw you have to start out in manual drive to get the speed to even think about keeping up with the other Tigers. Cruz at 20kmph as fast as you can and you should stay up. A word to the wise: if you fall behind, you
must remember the artillery is about twenty seconds (min.) lag so they will aim fire and hit where you where 20second ago.

And I am still working on breaking the FPS log jam as I wright. So enjoy the
action there is alot more coming

ZW

frinik · 04-02-10, 11:35 PM

Wow! 1.3 FPS! Eddie did your game lock up or freeze?What I have noticed with TvsT even though the fps are low the game still plays decently well.I played some ZW missions with 5 to 7 fps and the game was still fluid.

Even with the tame stock missions I can´t remember exceeding 17 fps at best.That game really eats up cpu-gcu.

ZW how many missions are there in the Kursk release?

Hauptstuermfuehrer Summers how´s the action going on your side of the battlefiled?Problems solved?I am hoping for a summary of the action.

Cheers

LcSummers · 04-03-10, 02:16 AM

Hello members,

as you know we had a hard fight till the game started. Testing was untill 11pm (my time). ZW i enyoed it thanks.

I didnt play much only a little bit the first mission.

First impressions are more colours, more envirionment (trees etc,).
With one leg in bed the other near my pc (my crutches near to me) i can really tell you that the sound ambiente is MR BOMBASTIC

I have a black dot near my tank on the left side (outside view)

WOW. Really nice done. Congrats ZW really good work, MORE THAN I EXPECTED. COOL
Trying to play a little bit i have guests until Tuesday so i cant test it as i would so i have to relay on you guys. For sure that i will take a look on tanksim what is and what has to be done.

Frinic i am glad that you are back and are no longer in reserve. I think your tank is "shining" very well.

Its nice that you now can test Kursk as well.

Cheers

frinik, the sim froze! I have no idea as to why either. I was getting some rather long pauses from the sim as the leading tanks were heading for the Russian lines, but it would then run fine for a bit, then lockup again, and would repeat the same thing. Finally it just froze.

I'm not sure about those FR readings, have no idea as to what those figures are based on. The updated missions from ZW run fine so far, even though the FR readings show around 9 FPS, it runs real smooth!. Only the Kursk mission has the stutters at this point, but I'm sure ZW will get that sorted out soon.

As for ZW's suggestion on overclocking, I have no experience with that, so going to leave it be for now, no need to void the warranty on this new PC just yet!

frinik · 04-03-10, 02:45 AM

Eddie avoid overclocking your pc. I read some threads about it last week and its not recommended to do it.Especially if you don´t know what you´re doing.

Re the fps the moment thye fall below 6 the game slows down and below 5 it´s in slow motion.It´s due to a huge number of ojects in the game infantry, vehicles, guns and add the smoke, dust and explosions bingo your graphic card and cpu are overtaxed.

Good luck!

eddie · 04-03-10, 03:13 AM

Only 1 Kursk mission so far frinik, I'm still going slow on the updated missions, have not played them all yet.

LcSummers · 04-03-10, 03:15 AM

ZW first mission run well no problem. One thing has to be redone. I have trouble with the TZF 9b Gun layer optics. I cant read the numbers for distances ( 200 Meter, 900 Meter etc., both in yellow and in black).

Later i will try Kursk mission. Want to know if i have same problems like eddie.

Lets have a try

LC

LcSummers · 04-03-10, 03:47 AM

Hello,

a brief report on my 1st Kursk mission.

Everything at highest level and resolution 1280*1024.

Heavy stuttering, the other mission (Tigers shake...) is running fine, no problem with stuttering.

Eddie you are right. I played only until tanks reaching top of hill. Tanks are moving very fast (35-40 Km/h) had to switch in 7 th or 8th gear to stay with them.

The next thing i recocnized was that my tank is steering to the right. Tried to stay in a track (another Tiger was in front of me) but every time my tank moved to the right.

Over and out

LC

frinik · 04-03-10, 08:11 AM

The issue of tanks running too fast goes back to what I was arguing just a few days ago.Our wingmen should be given a subservient role not take the lead and rush off. We players should have the lead role.
