I really like the game, some bits of the physics I agree should be sorted..

Im playing it on Vista at the moment, windowed quite small (forgot the reso)

and its maxing out my ram, and maxing my core1, and core 2 is at bout 45% aswell,

vista is using 45% Ram idle without a game. So my plans are another 2 gig ram, lap cpu to overclock and then maybe get the 8800GT, unsure though.

This is just vista btw, Xp is OK.

Are you playing at 2560x1600 on your 30" TFT?, and you have TWO 8800GTX's yes? and a QX6850 At3.85ghz!...well, if you can't max it out... then let us all be afraid




-Ant

I am playing it on 1680x1050 all on very high except one which is on high and 4xaa.

I wish I could play at 2560x1600

Also SLI is not supported yet. So just one card working I assume.

There seems to be some SLI supported. Set a mates pc to run alternate frame rendering and he got a clear boost from it.

O.k Shaders very high or Post Processing very high, that is the question.

I can get 25.2fps with all on Very high excluding Shaders which is on High 4XAA

Or

22.5FPS with All on Very high except Postprocessing on High 4XAA.

I cant make my mind up which looks best, basicly better foilage slower FPS or sun and rays and faster FPS, which should I loose....your opions please?

 

[martin9887]

Just enable the sun rays by themselves with the cvar.

It's called sunshafts.

I've been tweaking the config files, got everything on high apart from shadows which ive set to medium.

In the configs i've disabled shadow jitter, shadow blur and motion blur, also dropped the vegetation shaders down to 2 (definitely the most beneficial).

All in all its running pretty nicely at 1280x1024, no AA which is a shame as in some places this game gets the jaggies like nothing else.

In most places i'm getting a nice 60fps, drops down to 45-50 in heavy detail areas and big firefights.

My PC = Q6600 @ 3.6ghz, 4gb of ram, 8800gtx running XP.

Not bad really, i'm hoping they can squeeze another 5-10 fps out of it by release but i heard its gone gold so it's not looking likely

Anyway back to choking the life out of those evil Koreans!

Twisters are great fun when you mess with the editor, select the twister & enlarge all the parameters etc , on the pic its sucked me up along with the shanty buildings, soldiers trucks , then freefall to your death lol

[WDeranged]

Hmm, i really need to get into the level editor.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

should have gave yourself a parachute lol.

should have gave yourself a parachute lol.

If you drop in the sea you survive, just watched a group of AI soldiers sucked up
& freefalling with their arms outstretched lol, the FPS slowly drops as the twister
creates a dustcloud which slowly envelopes the whole island, even more funny is if you continue the game (as it picks up wherever you drop yourself in) you can can see bits of tinroof ,oildrums etc. dropping all over & trucks exploding on impact, its just as it would be in the real world, eventually it practically ground to a halt on my system with so much going on.

find the tornado in - entity /environment, drag it onscreen & then mess with its dimensions & increase radius, height, attraction impulse etc. & have fun lol

Could you try that on low graphic settings with high phyics and see what cpu graph you get.

Im not much good on the editor, it crashes lots for me. I did put in a massive gravity field where if you jumped off the ground in a certain place you'd fly away to the top of the mountain like an alien abduction

 

[martin9887]

The Shader setting and Post Processing make the biggest visual impact, I've found. Very High on both, High everything else works nicely .

 

[n3x]

so what makes the biggest performance impact... shadows and...?

 

[RavenXXX2]

IMO shaders are the real killer and unfortunately the shaders are what give the biggest improvement in image quality, medium shaders look good but are not a patch on high, very high is a system killer.

 

[izzy eckerslike]

another bigun, FPS struggling, this is moving fast ,really fast, too fast to outrun , 10 seconds later I was on top of it lol

[martin9887]

Shadows and Shaders mostly, I reckon. There isn't much difference in the Shadows either, from Very High to High or High to Medium, on Low I can't see any Shadows at all.

 

[DarkShadow]

Just placed an order for mine. This is really going to be a fantastic game. Granted my pc can't run it at max and it does feel like FarCry, but hell . . It has Maximum strength

 

[Muzy]

Nvidia 160.04 = 15% performance gain, i can play everything on HIGH at 1024.

using 160.01 @ 1024 with everything on high = lag
