Beta Testing 2.06

[grayman]

Another explanation for the boop sound might be that you have carried over your Darkmod.cfg from previous runs, and the following cvar is set in Darkmod.cfg:

 

seta s_playDefaultSound "1"

2.06 now comes with that cvar turned off by default.

If you find it on, turn it off.

Retest.

if i remember correctly, 'On'/'Off' strings (#str_07217 and #str_07228) also used in audio settings like 'main menu music' and EFX

 

The options for these settings hadn't been localized:

 

Soft Shadow Quality

Multi-Core Enhancement

Unicap FPS

 

They will be in the next package build.

 

But the "Soft Shadow Quality" options will be in English until the translators can provide proper translations.

 

The "On/Off" translations for the 2nd and 3rd settings already exist; they just weren't being used.

 

Good catch.

Updated to newest build, set playDefaultSound to 0.

Boop is gone, thanks!

Was going to try some testing this morning, but three in a row now the game has run for about 5 minutes and then crashed. Two different maps. Didn't catch the faulty module the first time, but it was listed as ExtLibs.dll the second, and then nvoglv32.DLL the third time.

 

No one else having any crashes? Hopefully it's just my GPU issue. Definitely limiting my ability to help with testing.

 

edit: I loaded up the same mission that crashed twice, but this time in 2.05, and I've been able to play without incident for the past twenty minutes. Then I load it in 2.06 and also get to play for 20 minutes. So this is too random to pin on 2.06.

 

edit: Is anyone else noticing that moving feels a bit odd in 2.06? I feel like the speed of walking 'stutters' occasionally. In 2.05 it's smooth and constant. In 2.06 in the same place, it feels like I'm occasionally catching on something for a fraction of a second--it's almost the same feeling that was occurring walking over moss, just much more subtle.

[grayman]

No crashes here. I've been testing 2.06 with my WIPs.

 

I too have felt the stutter when moving. Prolly something that could wait for 2.07. It's been around for pretty nearly most of post-2.05, so it's caused by something that happened early on, maybe last summer.

Yup, it's jerky, like during framerate drop, but the framerate is fine and smooth.

Okay so it's not just me then, I still get the weird stutter at 500 fps.

But it only seems to happen when I strafe and rotate the view at the same time, or maybe that just amplifies the effect.

[grayman]

Heh.

 

I can't reproduce the stutter now. Prolly knows I'm looking for it.

 

I'll keep an eye out for it and if I encounter it again, I'll see if I can track it down. Might be specific to certain map conditions.

This is what I get when trying to run BS2013 today

In case you missed it

 

Your license has gone stale and must be updated.
Check for an updated license to continue using this product.

 

Might want to start there I guess.

@grayman

Re-stuttering - you might want to look at rev 7133 and 6968.

Ok, thanks. I need to see it happen again before taking a look.

[Springheel]

So, no posts for ten days...is anyone doing any more testing or work on anything?

 

I haven't been able to do any real testing due to the regular crashing.

[grayman]

duzenko and I have been looking at the r_showvisportals failure. We thought this was fixed a few weeks ago, but I found another failure. duzenko's figured out a reasonable workaround for 2.06 so we don't have to change the code, and I've suggested fixing it properly in 2.07. Will post about it in a while.

 

Otherwise, I've been working on my missions when RL allows.

 

We need to fit in the Slovak translation, which shouldn't take too long. The work is done, but I need to find the time to get it into SVN.

 

Where are your crashes logged?

[peter_spy]

About stuttering, I encounter it basically all the time, at least in full missions. In my WIPs it's all good until there's more objects or lights in the screen. Still, FPS is still always 60. Maybe the problem is with frame time or frame pacing?

No clue.

 

I think I have a scene where it happens most of the time. That should let me track it down when I get some time.

I haven't touched it since I kept getting crashes in Shadowhide city mission, I will finish helping Some1stoleit with his map resume work on the city mission using 2.06.

[skina]

can someone check eaxdemo map? im encounter strange problem with walking animation(guy from outdoor area is too slow compared to 2.05) but my hardware is prehistoric so im not entirely sure

[Bikerdude]

but my hardware is prehistoric so im not entirely sure

Got a list..?

[lowenz]

Sound_SFX02 still get downloaded every time.

No problems on my machine.

I see the card was delivered, did you get it?

[Springheel]

It was here when I got home today. I'll hook it up this weekend and cross my fingers that it solves my problems. Thanks so much! Let me know if you have a paypal account, and I'll send you the cost of shipping.

@both, dont know if this has been asked already - does Springheels PSU have enough grunt to handle the replacement card you sent him.

[AluminumHaste]

I don't know, we'll find out.
