Thanks, worked like a charm! I'll drop this info into the other thread, too, as it looks like a 0.64/0.65 updater issue with win 10.
-
I reactivated an old system, it has an activated Win10Pro with the most recent patches installed and an old installation of TDM, release 2.03.
I tried to run tdm_update.exe both as user and admin, but it seems to cycle through updating the same file over and over. I always get to the point depicted in the attachment.
This is not so much a call for support, I have a working 2.05 installation I could copy over, it is more meant as a bug report.
-
...my testbed is the manual from Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura...
What would one have to look for?
SumatraPDF opens it fine, all I would complain about, are some thickness variations in some headline letters:
-
Lastly, I'll restate that in-game AA for Doom 3 \ TDM is inefficient so I'd strongly recommend turning off AA
and using forced driver AA settings instead.
That seems to make the biggest difference, thanks!
I can't tell, how much of an FPS rise it really is, since regardless of my vsync or r_displayRefresh settings, I can only see 60 max. Which is fine, since it seems to be a solid 60 at the moment, with 8x AIF and 8x FSAA set in the driver.
And also thanks to Bikerdude, I contemplated zipping the file, but never thought about the spoiler feature

Thank you for your assistance.
The autoexec.cfg didn't do anything, though I checked that it did load.
Changing the interleave from 1 to 2 did improve from 20 to 25 FPS.
What kind of FPS should I expect? I found a nice low FPS spot, when you exit the building and go the stairs all the way up, you can climb an pipe to the right and then peek into a building:
BTW, video RAM usage shoots up to 3GB with those settings.
-
Please post your Darkmod.cfg
Do you think, i have a general Problem? Right when non-Garret leaves the building and heads up the stairs, FPS will drop down to ~19.
If I go from 16x AA/AIF to 8x, this will give ~40 and at 4x all is peachy - solid 60, which is my monitor max.
But here you go:

Since the 4GB 1050TI is only €20 more, I recently ordered an Zotac 1050TI for €153.
DOOM 2016 @ 1920x1200 and ultra setting uses 2.8GB, 3dmark Fire Strike Ultra 3.3GB. TDM COO-BCD set to highest (which lags noticably) uses 1.8GB.
So I reckon, the 4GB version was an good investment...
Which brings my system spec to:
Win7x64
Xeon E3-1245 4x3.3/3.7 GHz + HT
24GB DDR3 RAM
Zotac GTX 1050 TI mini 4GB
Nvidia 376.33 drivers
The card has no external power connector, which is perfect, since this Fujitsu workstation does not offer them anyway.
-
Well, thanks for the heads up!
I secured AC 1 and Chronicles to my main Uplay account - I've forgot, which email I did register the first AC game with
Also got my Spendierhosen on, (does this translate?), and spend more, then one $...
Downloading China now and looking forward to a break from World of Tanks for the weekend

Speaking of TV monitors and 1360x768 resolution, I never managed to get anything but AMD cards to actually use those natively. I was always stuck with 1280x720 and upscale, or 1920x1080 and downscale with my Toshiba TV. Which is the choice of hanging or shooting, if you want to use the system for anything more than video watching.
Did that change with recent Nvidia drivers, or is it an oddity of my TV?
-
Merry Christmas to all!
Hope you have more festive weather, than I have here. Overcast, light drizzle, 9°C...
-
I agree, for free, you can't complain much.
I loved the early Splinter Cell games, nice to replay the first one without scouting for the DVD
With the Crew, I have mixed feelings. Would be nice, to support more wheel hardware, would be nice, to be able to replay it. Those buy "Wild run", buy "Calling all units" nags are a definite put off.
FC3 Blood dragon, guess you either like or hate it
AC III is something, I already have and like - too bad claiming the free copy destroyed my savegames...
Can't tell anything about the others.
-
Was that a Black Friday special? Price is now 20% higher...
-
The 1050Ti looks very interesting indeed. So interesting, that I started contemplating replacing the Quadro 2000 in the other workstation with it
Only worry would be the 75W, which is stretching the specification to the limit... (GTX750Ti is 60W)Speaking of SSDs, I changed over to them a couple of years ago for the system drives and the only drawback I can see is the price. Most astonishing is, that they not only are much more responsive than an mechanical disk, they also stay that way over time.
-
The questions are, while the GTX1060 is one of the best offers for 300, do you
a ) need it?
b ) have the means to use it?
How much of an improvement do you need? Two times, five times, ten times? Does your PSU offer the aforementioned additional power connectors?
When I converted my Fujitsu workstation to a playstation, I was confronted with an proprietary PSU, offering no additional power connectors whatsoever. I put in an Zotac GTX 750TI, which doesn't need any external power connectors and is relatively quiet. The Dark Mod runs smoothly, as do most current 3d titles, as long as I don't turn the eye candy to maximum.
Card was €115 and I'm happy with it.
Just another thought

NewDark is a special patch for Thief 1 and 2. If makes those games playable on modern PC's and allows them to run missions
with larger polygon counts, textures, and higher lightmap quality. (This is a Thief 2 fan mission thread.)
*smacks forehead*
He, who can read, has certain advantages
-
Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag en dank je voor het geschenk! (Happy birthday and thank you for the gift!)
What is newdark? kind of a mod for the mod?
-
Right. On COOBCD the difference is more than noticeable, especially when running 8x AA and AIF. Fortunately, using the high power thingie is just a right click away
-
And mostly likely you will only find the hybrid driver from the laptop manufacturer, what's the make/model of your laptop..?
It's called Terra Mobile 1590 Gaming. Reportedly based on some international MSI model.
The originally installed drivers with the 1511 edition on it seemed to be MS/intel/Nvidia, so I did an clean install with the 1607 edition and waited for Windows update to come up with the drivers.
Strangely enough, I can't see a performance hit with TDM when letting it choose the internal HD4600 instead of forcing it to use the GTX970M. Perhaps I should try something more demanding then Closemouthed Shadows
Any suggestions for a mission, that is taxing the vidcard?
-
^^
OK, that fixed the distortion.
The main point seems to be the "Disable Display Scaling on High DPI settings". With that set, I could get rid of all manual manipulations in the Darkmod.cfg.
The Game still is running with the intel graphics by default, but that is no real problem.
Thanks again for your help!

Thank you very much for your assistance, I really appreciate it!
Changed the folder to be fully accessible by all users.
Opened system properties and changed visual effects to best performance.
Then I got lost, I have a compatibility tab with the desired setting under Win7, but not under Win10...
[edit] Found it and changed it ...
Created an autoexec.cfg file int the darkmod folder, containing
seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "1"seta r_fovRatio "16:9"
Starting TDM with those settings now results into OK menues but utterly distorted graphics into the mission. I guess I'll fiddle around with those settings a bit.
-
Well, edited the Darkmod.cfg file by adding
seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "1"
to the end of it.Which didn't yield the desired effect. The resolution lines got replaced with
seta r_customHeight "1440"
seta r_customWidth "2560"for whatever reason.
Changing them back to my native resolution and changing seta r_aspectRatio "1" to seta r_aspectRatio "4" did nothing, as did adding seta r_fovRatio "16:9"
Added a screenshot, which shows the problem...
I would also like to add, that the graphics indicator in blue means the GTX vidcard is not used. Forcing TDM to use the GTX changes nothing but the colour of the indicator, going orange
-
I recently purchased a used gaming laptop, model Terra 1590, reportedly something of a MSI Ghost derivative. Has a dedicated GTX970M video card, the monitor has full HD resolution. OS is Win10 Pro anniversary edition with the latest Nvidia drivers.
Trouble is, I can't get it to use the native resolution. I can run it at 640x480, everything beyond that results in a distorted display, where I can only see the top left part of the "screen".
Several searches came up blank, any suggestions? -
Great, thanks!
I even managed, to trap that little critter inside, by opening the door just a little bit. So I guess I'll have to explore both the deadrat and liverat cenarios :-)
-
I'm a bit stuck.
Managed to enter the study through the vents, aquired the bedroom key. But those doors won't open... So, how do I get into the lords bedroom?
TDM Updater stuck in loop
in TDM Tech Support
Posted
I was pointed into this direction by Anderson and I would like to report, that the 0.66 updater worked well with my 2.03 installation under Win10x64. It is a plain vanilla Win10, so no 3rd party apps are present, but I still looped at the0.64 updater update.
