It's also visible when walking sideways, AFAIR it has something to do with weird tick rate set for the engine by id engine programmers, which doesn't go well with 60 Hz refresh rate. That is quite pronounced if you have Uncap FPS set to Off, so it's better to have it on.

 

Yup, so I have fps capped at 60 (matching my monitor) and calling it a day.

After multiple test, I've settled on

 

- Soft shadow OFF

- 4X AA

- Everything maxed out

- Capped fps

 

Running the game at 60-62fps, perfectly fine.

You can always try Stencil+Soft, Maps+Soft is a bandwidth hogger.

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

Depends on the scene.

 

Pathological CPU bound scene:

 

Mission: Rightful Property

 

Soft Stencil: 50FPS

Soft Shadow Maps: 80FPS

 

Pathological GPU bound scene:

 

Mission: No Honor Among Thieves (Mission 1 "politics" cave)

 

Soft Stencil: 58FPS

Soft Shadow Maps: 40FPS

 

Shadow Maps would probably almost always win if we didn't do "blocker searches" for PCSS.

 

Time to race them without soft shadows enabled and see if the stencil ever wins in that mode...

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
