Re: New master snapshot 20111026 has been released!
if its an nvidia card.. I doubt its an opengl issue. I havent run 2.3.9 or master yet but I'll make sure to give some info when I do. Between creating a new web interface for vegastrike though and getting the beta 2 release out though i'm a bit swamped (not to mention time with the kids, now there's a time sink).
Has anyone tried running WZ through a profiler or debugger? Or perhaps someone mistakenly compiled the code in debug mode and released it. That by itself could explain the slowness issues.
@zany what driver version are you running and what OS? While unit order delays are probably not OS/driver related its possible that the delay is not in the order messaging system but the screen redraw.
Possibilities may include:
1. Problem with the code and trying to run the game using SLI
2. Order messaging system locked to a certain timing to keep older systems from getting out of synch
3. Insert guess here

There is a grandparents lib available try installing that!!! It comes in a few flavors spoil t and native!Lord Apocalypse wrote:(not to mention time with the kids, now there's a time sink).
Be aware that some libs contain they love me more syndrome!
The more things are investigated the better chance of remedy I think any time you can spare to warzone we are creatfull for..
Thanks

How does this cause the lag in sk?Per wrote:The pathfinder was changed so that it must complete in some time window before the simulation proceeds, whereas before it used to run in a background thread until it was finished. So before, if path-finding had a backlog, units would wait before starting to move. Now, if there is insufficient time to process path-finding, the entire game will wait. It has to be this way because if path-finding completes faster on some computers than others, the game will go out of sync. (There is a way to design it differently, by doing path-finding only on one computer then sending the results, but that comes at the cost of somewhat larger network bandwidth and latency. There is no free lunch if you want sync.)

The design is the same for both networked and single player games. Note that I am not saying that this is what is causing the lag that you see, it is one possibility of several.

just did a bit of googling, this said that nvidia and ati have their own OpenGL SDKs should we include them in project? (if nv use nvogl, if ati use atiogl), since it would be harder to find error on specified system . also nvidia use physx and cuda to make things faster. since we don't use physx and CUDA works best with many parallel threads, something we "probably" don't use so don't expect lots of performance increase while using nvidia high end graphic card

I have tried drives up to 285.62. it is not a driver problem. I can play many other opengl games just fine!Lord Apocalypse wrote:if its an nvidia card.. I doubt its an opengl issue.

why can I play 2.3.9 just fine but master is a crap fest?

I tested the game and there is still the bug of units getting stuck on the mountains ^^
Re: New master snapshot 20111026 has been released!
No, the way it works is, openGL is called, then the wrapper calls either nvidia / AMD / S3 / intel's own routines depending on what card you have of course.Ezio wrote:just did a bit of googling, this said that nvidia and ati have their own OpenGL SDKs should we include them in project?

Super busy, don't expect a timely reply back.

Re: New master snapshot 20111026 has been released!
pretty much same way with DX I think
Re: New master snapshot 20111026 has been released!
For the campaign related features that need testing, is there any more structured/specific need for testing other than "start a campaign from the beginning, and save and load games along the way and keep an eye out for bugs?"

No.is that a issue of using the game with the AR mod?
