Game is running ridiculously slow (main menu also)

[DevUrandom]

all of them crash while loading before they get to the menu. seems to be the exact same place too. (very early in the loading process)

I experienced that myself in my VBox, but hoped it was just a misconfiguration...
I'll have a look at the weekend to debug this.

Well maybe you could try these instead: --deleted--

I've compiled these on Windows for Windows.

*Edit: scratch that; all of these binaries crash just as well.

I guess you all have just disapplied the revisions I listed, instead of checking them out completely? Then the libvorbis fix from 2.0.9 will be in it, and that crashes with the older libvorbis used on Windows.

Im glad to see developers actually handling a problem. Usually there is 2 weeks of silence when a game or mod has an issue.

RC1 seems fine for the time being. Although there is an issue of NEVER winning a battle.. You just have to assume you won i Guess?

I thought that fix was just for libvorbis-1.2.0's error checking and thus still valid for 1.1.

Anyway, these snapshots do work! Please test them, as described above.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

PS: I've updated the devpkg for 2.0 and uploaded it as devpkg-2.0.
(Giel: I deleted your also-broken snapshots from Gna.)

[ouch]

I'll give them a test tonight after work.

[ouch]

ok:

warzone2100-2926.exe
warzone2100-2976.exe

those 2 go like 4 fps. the others run great.

and hey, thanks for careing folks. seriously... you've done a great job on keeping this game going so far.

[DevUrandom]

We think we found out what might have caused the problem.
r2896 changed texture-clamping from GL_CLAMP to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, which apparently triggers a software fallback on ATI cards.

We now do have 3 variants which may or may not fix the problem for you. Please test all of them and say which worked and which did not.

[ZeosPantera]

OK.. Here is how it goes down.

Old and Autodetect have No framerate

and NOMAXLOD works fine and shows 209 as the build.

so nomaxlod it is.

[ouch]

yep NOMAXLOD is the only one that works at proper frame rate out of that package.

[DevUrandom]

Idea for a workaround:

Code: Select all

if glGetString(GL_VENDOR) contains "ATI" AND glGetString(GL_VERSION) contains "broken.version" then
  dont use max_lod
else
  ...
end

Here we have another variant. (Using MAX_LEVEL instead of MAX_LOD.)
Please test again.

[ouch]

runs great. All it needs now is shader support.

[ZeosPantera]

Yeah. Max_Level does seem to look fantastic.. may be my imagination. 

OK. Where are the crysis style physics now!


OH..Dev's  The volume is LOUD.. and then when I change it in the main menu options it is fine until I go into .. the skirmish menu and the sound is right back up to DEAFEN.

Is it just me? Im running an old Audigy1 card on recent drivers,.

[ouch]

yeah, I get the overly loud SFX too. (or an overly quiet lady... whichever you prefer) running an audigy 2 ZS

you have to go to the main menu, change the sound levels there, then exit the game. after you exit, the sound levels get saved so you don't have to mess with them again.
