Artkin Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Steam is definitely a little slower, and that's why I always play my official Battlefront copies. You definitely know what's up, I just remember being unable to play with a full MEU in real time mode on one of the H&E maps. My game was pretty locked up. But that map also had a ton of those older trees, so I guess they don't perform as well. I know BFC acknowledged trees and were looking for a solution for them not too long ago. How about Fortress Italy and then Cold War? Fortress Italy runs so slow in comparison as well Edited May 23, 2022 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that map also had a ton of those older trees, so I guess they don't perform as well. I know BFC acknowledged trees and were looking for a solution for them not too long ago. Normally I just feel like playing a quick games, so I do smaller battles in realtime mode. My computer is hardware from 2012 already, so I don't have that much CPU and GPU power to spare. If things would be stalling somewhere I should notice. But for the games I play, I don't really notice much of a performance difference between any of the CM games. I tried some of the games in Linux on the same system. These are run through Wine compatibility layer there. I don't like to play them like that anymore though, because of stalls in game speed. The funny thing is that it is pretty clear that pathfinding or other game logic is causing that. The game stalls there when I issue orders for groups to move. And you may have noticed that when the game can't keep up it starts these annoying redraws of the whole scene. Another thing I now remember is that rendering distance for the game is actually dynamically decided by framerate feedback. Meaning that the game cuts down on drawing distance when it measures that framerate is getting low. Point being: there are many factors at play. GPU power, CPU power, overall 3D polygon count of the scene (influenced by both the 3D models (=game data) and the renderer (=game engine)), framerate feedback for drawing distance, and like I showed with the linux example: some surprising CPU bottlenecks related to game logic calculations. And none of these thing can be logged to the screen in this game, as messages or counters. So it is hard hard to say what is actually going on when things are slower then expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) If someone was new to the CM series this would be up their alley. It would hit a more mainstream audience better I think. Someone who is in the know will appreciate all the retexturing. The scenarios may be small but just think what it would look like if they were applied to larger maps. @NPye I'd love to get my hands on this modpack, if we can figure out a way to send anything nowadays. Maybe we can set up a ftp server. Edited June 30, 2022 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try loading the larger maps instead of playing scenarios to do benchmarks personally. And for cpu I usually just try the same scenario of a few thousand troops sitting on top of each other before/after overclocking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPye Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The Stalingrad mod was about 16 Gig which isnt that big these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) If you think that isnt big then try telling that to file hosters. I cant think of one place to upload 16gb all at once. (Besides a dedicated CM mod site like Bootie's... and then maybe) Either way I'd like to get my hands on the pack. Looks great.

Is there an upload limit on FGM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 No not an upload limit but Im concerned about bandwidth if 30 folk hit the site and download a 16Gb file at the same time... thats half a terrabyte being forced down the pipes. And the site is aimed at individual mods not massive mod packs. What exactly is within those files that make so extraordinarily massive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I believe the files are much less when compressed. Stalingrad mod is like 3gb. Edited June 30, 2022 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 In that case wrap them up upload to dropbox or something and send me the link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
