STRUNK

Oooh yeahh : P I'm gonna play it right away. Thanks Sotha, and taffy New Year to all.

@JackFarmer Very good news Jack! I tested the unofficial version 2 for FPS in the lava cave, and now I get 75+ there, where it was 5+ in the org. version

@Gadavre It might solve something

@Gadavre I don't know what is wrong. It seems we both have some outdated hardware and other players don't have significant fps drop in these lava caves. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815315205483397142/925855134414667786/2021-12-29_20-56-07.mp4 Here a video showing the fps drop, and rise after killmonsters.

@nbohr1more Sounds like something that might be (part of) the/my pc's problem. What I don't get is why killing the elementals in the cave gives me "decent" (20+) fps, when it was 4+ before killing them, but when I "killmonsters", that are not in that location(?), fps shoots up to 60+ again?

I don't know if it's of any singnificance at all but . well .. here it is anyway : )

@duzenko Could be. My graphics card is quite good (GTX 1660) but my workstation/pc is quite old and a bit strange having 2 quadcore xeon processors (x5570). I made a simple room with 20 blue and 20 red elementals as a test, and my fps dropped to 20+. Also tested with 20 elementals total and it was still 60+ When I kill only the 5 elementals in the lava cave my fps goes from 4+ to 20+, but when I "killmonsters" (in the lave cave) my fps gets 60+

Tracy doesn't seem to run as is, and the user manual describes a setup that I don't understand unfortunately.

When I'm in the cave and "killmonsters" my fps problem is gone and Igetfps above 100 That seems to indicate, for me,that the blue elementals cause a huge problem. @Gadavre, could you try entering killmonsters in the lava cave?

r_showsmp seems to spit out FFFFFF I also see: Exceeded index frame limit (4096 kb), resizing... New byffer size: 33285 kb And: 16.0 to 24 milliseconds for asingle "R_AddSingleModel" job from list JOBLIST_RENDERED_FRONTEND on thread x I set the jobs_numThreads to 8 Using 2 or 8 threads doesn't seem to hav an effect on GPU load. Most part of the game the fps is above 60, in the lava cave it's between 4 and 12

getviewpos -4514.34 1613.03 -1427.32 -7.7 -156.4 0.0 "r_showsmp" is: "0" Task manager: GPU load 40% CPU load 17% TDM 2.09b 64

Massive fps drop in the caves. I posted in the black mage fan mission topic my specs.

r_useParallelAddModels 1 jobs_numThreads x https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=What's_new_in_TDM_2.09 Is that what you mean @duzenko? I tried that myself but it changed nothing for me.

Great mission!! Thank you Grayman (r.i.p.), Jack and others, I really enjoyed it. And that " painting" in remebrance of the great man is really awsome!

Very sad news : (

Darkradiant doesn't work anymore : O Anyone know how to fix this? Here is the log file: darkradiant.log Never mind, it works again, Somehow installing powershell 7 on my machine f*cked things up. I uninstalled it and now it's fine again : )

I tested v2 on my machine with my usual settings and my framerate has improved significantly from 3 - 10 fps to 10 - 24 fps In the starting area. I found out today that my videocard is rated for 480p gaming and in most other missions it is between 18 and 30 fps so I guess no one will have real problems with older machines now concerning slideshow graphix. Added info to; increase fps on older machines: Go to the video settings and lower the Render Scale.

Lol, sounds super geil : D

I know very little shows or movies : (

The voice on the tapes reminded me of monty python : D Very good voice and funny text.

I tried operating the "desinfection switch" with a key selected, as a test, and indeed the game crashed.

I have the render scale at 0.5 and now I get decent fps, but it is very strange. I'm using build #9108 System: i7-3740QM @ 2.70GHz , 8GB Ram , NVIDIA Quadro K1000M Finished the mission without any further problems. Very nice atmosperic mission Jack! Thanx!
