tn_prvteye Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I've been messing around a bit with this. Fubar, where are your modded files? I assume everyone's using the April 13th version? Quote
+Laton Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 how can i get rid of this part of the effect? I get that if I activate the file, try turning it off (F12 or Shift-F12 is the default I think). You should get the speed increase without the blur. Quote
malibu43 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Are you all on XP with no DX10? Is it Vista only? I guess I didn't get that part... Quote
+column5 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Is it Vista only? I guess I didn't get that part... Not sure yet, but so far it looks like only Vista/7 users are getting the FPS improvement. Post a screenie after you try my modded .ini files Linky? Quote

MiG Master Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I'll definetly have to give this a try. My FPS tends to chug when there are a lot of objects (like city buildings in SF2E) or effects in one place. Quote
zmatt Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I'm using win7 with DX10 and WoE. I get terrible blurring. I deactivated motion blur but it didn't help. Quote

+Laton Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I'm using win7 with DX10 and WoE. I get terrible blurring. I deactivated motion blur but it didn't help. In the ini file check the [GLOBAL] section for UseEffect= and change it from 1 to 0 (or 0 to 1, reverse whatever your existing setting is). Turns the effect off at start up.

eraser_tr Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Just tried it out on XP with DX9 and an Nvidia card Huge performance increase! I've mentioned how seasoned WOE chugged on my system, NOT ANYMORE! Smooth as butter with the highest detail TODs, terrain shaders enabled and everything but shadows(and I plan on testing higher settings) to unlimited. 1 confounding variable possible: I updated my drivers to the newest 186 WHQL. But on both 182 and 185 drivers it chugged, chances are its the DLL. Quote

Turns the effect off at start up. All that does is start the game with it turned off. I was hoping for a fix. Quote
Thog10 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 wow... wow... My frame rates went up by 40-50%. wow... Quote
+column5 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 All that does is start the game with it turned off. I was hoping for a fix. Figure out how to fix it then? This community is about people working together and sharing ideas. Quote
zmatt Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 well disabling motion blur doesn't so it so it isn't motion blur. I'll fiddle around with settings and see what happens. Quote
jomni Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) There has got to be a draw back to this though? Let me guess... Your PC is now open to russian hackers? Anyway, gotta try this out later. Edited July 1, 2009 by jomni Quote

Icarus999 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 this is a huge boost to frame rates but does any one know what might be causing this rippling effect that only seems to effect other aircraft when viewed from inside the cockpit?"> Quote
zmatt Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 That's not rippling, that's aliasing. Turn on Anti-aliasing and Antroscopic filtering in catalyst control center if you have an ati card or in the Nvidia panel if you have an nvidia card. Quote
Silverbolt Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Icarus: I have this when my vid card is overload...you maybe pushing yours too much? mine lost whole anti-aleasing effect during the game action scenes involving many planes and effects... Quote
jross Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) My 2-cents... Same basic setup as Fastcargo's (Vista32, SF2x, cept a 3.0ghz proc) and the FPS has doubled. Cool. Oh, here's something I've done with the noise texture. Haven't dug into the archieves far so this may have already been done/mentioned.... Increases the frequency of the noise texture. in <Theatre>_DATA.INI ----------------------------------------- [NoiseTexture] Size=256 MinColor=229 MaxColor=255 // oem:Frequency=1.7 Frequency=4.0 // oem: ResolutionFactor=4.0 ResolutionFactor=16.0 // oem: 200 StartFadeDistance=500.0 // oem:500 EndFadeDistance=1500.0 ------------------------------------------ Gives, to me, more of a sense of speed at low altitude. On my rig no slow down noticed (shouldn't be on a good V.card). The "oem..." above means the original values btw. You may have to play with the filtering and mip-mapping in the v.card setup. Also, haven't had time to play with the values much (working on a Campaign viewer/editor) but the "ResolutionFactor" seems to be the biggy. No pix but a still shot doesn't do much for ya - need to be moving... JX Edited July 1, 2009 by jross Quote
Lamanai Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 this is a huge boost to frame rates but does any one know what might be causing this rippling effect that only seems to effect other aircraft when viewed from inside the cockpit? Have you tried disabling all the efects excepting the bloom? There should be no graphic anomalies that way. [EFFECT] EnableBloom=1 EnableOcclusion=0 EnableReflection=0 EnableMotionBlur=0 EnableWater=0 EnableShadow=0 DepthBias=0 EnableDepthOfField=0 On the other ahnd I must say that in my (rather low end) system, I'm not getting any FPS improvement Quote
+FastCargo Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Well, the startup messages do say it's for higher end video cards, that may be why you're not getting any improvement. FC Quote
