  1. What AI LLM do you think is best for best value? Currently ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Microsoft Copilot, Grok seem to be big. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00437-0
  2. Ah, I thought it makes sense to turn off vsync to improve performance when there are spikes in more demanding scenes. Thank you for clarifying the fan issue.

    Decent open source point & click: Session Seven.
  4. Leaving also these links here for awareness on possible key binding setups: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=865246483 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2216783029
  5. I tried it this evening and played normally as well as no-clipped through St. Lucia. I used EAX but graphics was set to lowest. I also have frontend acceleration set to on and Uncap FPS set to 300 - can the latter cap be theoretically increased? I mostly have around 50-ish-60 FPS and it very rarely goes to 100. Performance seems fine in the original lowest allowable settings as well as with some tweaks. Also added highest possible settings - all enclosed in this post. Occasionally in some milliseconds the game can drop to 40-50 but it's almost unnoticeable. What worries the most is the computer fan straining on more intense scenes despite keeping good FPS. On highest settings FPS can often be around 20-30. In places with many lights and with many NPC's it's very sluggish at around 4-10 FPS. I've attached as well my dxdiag report for the hardware. default_original_Darkmod.cfg tweaked_low_settings_Darkmod.cfg highest-settings_Darkmod.cfg DxDiag_24.12.24.txt

  7. There's definitely improvements in FPS and things like faster loading on new mission or loading a save. I haven't nailed the nuts and bolts but it should definitely help. Missions boot and don't stutter. I haven't tested recently but to the best of my memory big missions with lots of special effects like fog and many NPC's can do make a stress for the computer. I mean in particular outdoors areas or larger halls. Do I correctly understand you'd like to make a benchmark test to compare and verify side by side any performance differences in default missions?
  8. Excuse me I got caught up in work. Is this translation testing still pending or is it already done and the subject is OBE? Thank you.
  9. Thank you for checking up on this nbohr1more. I definitely will keep the option since it's a matter of time until the FPS and performance will lower with each new update and newly released FM to the point where it'll be unplayable on my laptop. I haven't launched The Dark Mod in some time. Just updated to the latest version and applied these edits again. But in general I still think it's good to have this an option, if possible. I'm not aware if other players use this setting. I'm probably in the minority and most people won't even know that this option exists since it's not possible to achieve these results with without editing the darkmod.cfg file. It can definitely help to officially mirror these settings in the game itself without manual tweaks. Kindly let me know if you prefer to remove this low-end option as obsolete. I suppose if the decision is made it will be reflected on the wiki too: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Performance_Tweaks Thank you!

  12. Hi, thanks for your message. Do you mean to check TDM version 2.12 for issues on the "One Step Too Far" FM in Russian? When is the due date for this task? Thank you!
