Dark mod with RTX when???

When can you start working on it? 🤪

Seriously, can you RTX with OpenGL at all yet?

No, and I have a feeling this isn't going to be possible, ever. If even NVIDIA doesn't offer a vendor-specific raytracing extension for OpenGL at this point, then it's very unlikely to ever be added.

No way around Vulkan at that point.

windows 7 64-bit

core i5 4430

8gb Ram

GT1030

the mod version 2.09 has very poor performance on this hardware. there are minimal friezes in the game . .Although with this configuration, i can perfectly play Doom 3 BFG edition. I hope that the mod developers will make version 2.10 with the same performance and stability as in the game Doom 3 BFG edition

What resolution are you playing at?

To begin, capped FPS ( com_fixedTic 0 ) seems to have gotten worse on modern drivers you should enable uncapped FPS in the advanced menu and set Max FPS to 90.

Also, check this out:

1920 х1080

the seta com fixedTic "1" command did not help me. however, this command is a great help in Doom 3

my monitor supports 60 hz. OK, I will now unlock fps in the settings and set the fps limit = 90

Change the renderscale to 0.7 and change the sharpen value to 0.7

The Dark Mod does a lot of things that Doom 3 BFG does not do. Also our code base is not based on BFG edition but the base game (though it's heading in that direction).

We have a lot of extra things going on from sound, AI, overlays (lightgem big one) and extra graphics stuff with shadows.

So make sure AA is disabled (Massive performance hit), disable soft shadows.

Turn on Uncap FPS, try front end acceleration on and off.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

I found a serious bug with your language switching. Now I have a Russian interface.  I want to change it to English, I do a reboot of the game and again the interface is Russian )

I have to switch to the English interface first. I don't understand what you want from me. I should see the game settings in english. I can't see the AA setting

Go to the Language option and click the first option (English)

I solved this problem by deleting the mission.... it's weird that the player can't switch the language if a mission is running...

What is it? There is no such graphical setting in the settings

I made all these settings

uncap fps on

maх fps  90

frontend  acseleration  on/off

Resolutuon 1920 Х1080

r_multisamples  0

fps  58

it's all useless. the game has friezes, stuttering, only the programmer of this game can help. I think something needs to be done with the com_fixedTic command.... it doesn't work as it does in Doom 3

The programmer of this game is not a single person...

I also work with idtech 4 and have many experience with it but that doesn't mean what I know serves or works in DarkMod, why, because it doesn't use the original Doom 3 engine, it has been changed in many aspects. 

You shouldn't expect, all console cmds that worked in Doom 3 to still work, they could be dead code that was just not removed, even the original idtech 4 engine has console commands that do nothing, console cmds are very volatile and change or get deprecated during development.  

You also shouldn't expect this game to work, in your PC like Doom 3 did, why because, it has a relatively modern render, using GLSL 3.0+ I think and doesn't support old GPU's that Doom 3 supported fine.

Having said that there's no harm in telling the darkmod team that some commands don't work, perhaps they should but have in mind what I said above.

      The preliminary working titles for the missions in my now-in-development Partners in Crime series: 
      - Partners in Crime 1: A Mere Trinket
      - Partners in Crime 2: Beacon Burglary
      - Partners in Crime 3: In the Bleak Midwinter
      - Partners in Crime 4 (5 ?): Fishy Dealings
      - Partners in Crime 5 (4 ?): A Thief in the Night

      No title stealing, please.  In return, I promise to finish these. I do stress the preliminary part. Beyond the broad strokes storyline, plot, objectives, briefings and the (currently built) layouts of these FMs, I haven't fully decided about every single detail yet, including the exact order of the missions (4 and 5 might switch places, with the story adjusted accordingly). I want the overall plot to be plotted out a bit in advance and not suffer too much from inserting prequels later. I also prefer to let my FM building fill out part of the details naturally.

      Currently working on the second FM, and once I do enough work on the current prototype, I'll work on the first one, until I get that one released. Then complete the second one, get that one ready for release (hopefully) a few months later, and so on. I want most of the early missions to be fairly small and confined, and get a bit bigger as I grow more confident in my FM making skills.

      Though there is an overarching storyline to this series, the missions themselves are mostly episodic in nature. They factor into the character development of the two main characters I'll have in the series, but it's the kind of continuity where the mission's own plot and story wouldn't depend on it.
