  4. [Solved]Bad performance?

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by mips

    If one enables "Allow Flipping" and enable Triple Buffering in the xorg.conf the game is also smooth ( with vsync on)

     

    Trying to figure out how to see the current status of threaded optimisation, will carry on looking. It's probably off by default as it looks like it's still not ready for prime time.

    Thanks, I'll look at those tomorrow, off to sleep now.

     

    What I did was disable "Allow Flipping" in nvidia control centre, left Sync to VBlank on, left powermiser on max. Set everything in TDM to max but left post processing disabled, vsync enabled and now the game sticks to 58/59FPS (fps counter flashes between those to values), game is smooth and no jerkiness, so looking good!

     

    The Allow Flipping stuffs things up if I enable it again dropping the fps and jerkiness is back. So people might wanna keep this in mind. From my understanding this feature swaps between buffers. So this will stay disabled for now.

     

    I'll look at those other links tomorrow and see how it compares to my config.

     

    Thanks!

  7. [Solved]Bad performance?

    Posted · Edited by mips

    Ok running this on a fresh manjaro 64-bit install, GPU=GTX960, CPU=i5-4690, RAM=8GB, nVidia Drivers=346.35-1, 1920x1080 native res, running game in fullscreen with everything set on minimum settings.

     

    Getting 50-60fps but feels very jerky. I set the nividia control panel powemiser for maximum performance but I doubt my gpu is even working hard as the fans don't even switch on. I looked at the wiki for performance tweaks and I can't see anything wrong. I installed following this guide http://www.thedarkmod.com/download-the-mod/

     

    Surely I should have smooth gfx & high fps? I've been playing tears of st lucia and I got so engrossed in the game I had not realised an hour had passed before a guard offed me :)

     

    Please let me know whatever info I can supply that would be of help to you.

    No idea. I'll have a closer look tomorrow but his is the contents of the pkgbuild,

    For now I came across http://www.thedarkmod.com/download-the-mod/and following Install TDM on LInux section.

     

    Thanks for the welcome but I've been here before, now with much better gpu I'm ready to play this game. Spoke to one of the team members before that's from South Africa and he was very helpful.

     

    Cheers

    Hi,

     

    Got a new PC yesterday with a decent gpu (i5-4690+gtx960) so I'm keen to install & play TDM.

     

    I've tried the Arch AUR version but get the following output,

    Seems out of date.

     

    Any suggestions on how to install this on Manjaro (just like Arch) 64-bit?

    Posted · Edited by mips

    CPU: Intel C2Q 6600, 2.4GHz

    OS: Linux, 3.13.5-1-MANJARO x86_64

    Video Card: nVidia GT610 1GB

    Driver version: 331.49

    Resolution: 1920x1080

    RAM: 2GB

     

    Turned off all antialiasing etc stuff, followed the tweak guide in the wiki.

    Seems to run fine, hard to read the fps counter as it changes so rapidly but seems to be 40-50 fps on average.

    Turning around there seems to be a bit of jerkiness but I get this even at lower resolutions.

    I should probably check and see if I can fix my 9600GT no-signal issue...

  13. How to bring up the console?

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by mips

    I have a issue related to the console. When I press ' it brings up the console as does any key combo with `.

     

    According to the wiki ' should be to put away weapons but this is unmapped in the game (using linux). Is there a preferred key to put away weapons I need to map?

    Anyone else still gaming with a CRT? :P

     

    I've got a 22" HP p1230 with a Mitsubishi Diamondtron NF Aperture Grille CRT in the closet somewhere. My LCD's don't come close to the image quality on that thing. It however uses to much desk space and acts like a heater!

  19. Missing libraries in Linux after update

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by mips

    Just thought I would mention for the Arch users here and who might find this page like I did - I submitted an AUR package that successfully builds and installs for Arch Linux (with help from taaaki's static bins). Look for it in the comments (I have the same username there) because as of now the maintainer has not updated it. Hope this helps someone.

     

    PS - Users of other distributions can download the package and use the links in the PKGBUILD file to download the static bins as well.

     

    Hi,

     

    I tried the pkgbuild you posted in the AUR comments section. The package builds and at the end of the installation of darkmod-2.01-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I get the following errors,

     

    /tmp/alpm_YYImnc/.INSTALL: line 2: [: missing `]'
chmod: missing operand after ‘g=rwx’
Try 'chmod --help' for more information.

     

    If I launch the game all I get is a black screen with a mouse pointer which I cannot exit from.
