peleprodigy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I look on youtube and all i can find is video released by battlefront, and frankly it is a bit choppy. I am wondering if any of the other guys out there (non-battlefront) who are getting good frame rates can post a little 5-10 minute clip on you tube of the game running at max settings in allah's fist, starting from the beginning. I'd be really interested to see what this game looks like when running well. i guess it is a bit of a challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'd like to see that too. Did version 1.3 help you any with the "map chug" problem? Unfortunately, I can't say that they did for me. The maps do look phenomenally better however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Runs very well on my lappie. However I did get some choppiness and artefacts (scarecrow drivers etc) in the mayhem below: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runyan99 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Want to play a QB? Sure, we'll each take an armored battalion, and play it on a 1km square map! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleprodigy Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 i would love to see a video of the battle from which your picture was taken, Sivodsi. please, please some of you who are fortunate to have great performance at max settings, share the visual splendor while others wait for patch 1.0X(I'm a bit too jaded at this point to put 4 in there, I guess I am even being a bit optimistic by putting the 0 after the decimal) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Anyone else think the smoke columns are a *little* bit too "straight up"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsleOfMule Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Originally posted by JasonC: Anyone else think the smoke columns are a *little* bit too "straight up"? Hmm, yes, it's all the more obvious when lots of armor has been fried, but yes, it's a bit odd. No idea if some random smoke direction can be added easily, but that would be cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well, look at the wind settings. Does it say "none" perhaps? If it says anything else than none, then you get all sorts of lateral smoke motion. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleprodigy Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Does anyone have a video of the game running well at max settings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artillerysarge Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It runs pretty tight on my machine but my fraps video of 45 seconds was in the hundreds of MB's?? No way I am gonna attempt to upload that anywhere. Suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleprodigy Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 damn, i thought it was simpler than that. any ideas anyone, i am itching to see this game in all its splendour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I got the graphics maxed out and get chuggy map syndrome only when I have lots of trees or tall yellow grass. Other than that...smooth. And I can read the name "Jones" on the US guys helmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleprodigy Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ahh Google: Encoding your Fraps Video using Windows Movie Maker Windows movie maker is a video editing software included with Windows XP Service pack 2. If you do not have this piece of software, you can download it at Microsoft Update by pointing your Internet Explorer browser at http://update.microsoft.com Once you have it installed, it can be found by clicking start, all programs, and then accessories. 1) Upon entering Windows movie maker, first ensure that the Tasks button is active on your upper toolbar. This opens another toolbar on the left side of your screen called "Movie Tasks". 2) Under Movie Tasks, you must click on "Import Video". 3) Travel to the directory you selected in step 4 of Using Fraps, and select the video you would like to encode. 4) Drag the video to the top bar of the timeline located at the bottom of Windows Movie maker. 5) Almost done! Go to File -> Save Movie file. 6) Choose "My Computer", then click next. 7) Name your file, select a location to save it to, and click next again. 8) Beneath "Best quality for playback on my computer" Click "Show more choices". 9) Select "Best fit to file size:" and select a file size for your video. This will lower the quality, however make it much easier to transfer over the internet. Click Next. 10) Once the video has completely finished encoding, click finish, and it should bring up a preview of the video. Ensure that all the details you with to be seen can clearly be seen. ***NOTE: When encoding the video, make sure you balance video quality with file size. The quality needs to be good enough so that we can at least make out the names of any significant players in the video. The filesize needs to be small enough so that it is not a burden to upload/download. You may have to do a few experiments to get the hang of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwazydog Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Originally posted by peleprodigy: Ahh Google: Encoding your Fraps Video using Windows Movie Maker Peleprodigy, part of the problem with fraps is that when recording a movie it instantly knocks around 15fps off of your frame rate, at least it does in my system. Unfortunately short of sending the video to another system to record there isnt a lot of choice out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artillerysarge Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ahhh Google indeed... "Been there, done that" Meaning To have experienced the topic under discussion and become bored with it. Origin This originated in the early 1980s. It is generally regarded as an American expression. This item from the New York newspaper the Syracuse Herald-American, February 1982, which is the earliest version in print that I can find, puts that in some doubt. It's in a piece by Jerry Buck, writing out of Los Angeles, about actress Lauren Tewes: "Miss Tewes, who has just got divorced, says she doesn't plan to get married at this time. Using an Australian expression, she says, 'Been there, done that.' About a decade later 'got the t-shirt' was sometimes added for extra emphasis. An early citation of that is from Ski Survival, February. 1991: "Knee Injuries. Rosemary Burns has been there, done that and got the T-shirt. She gives fellow sufferers her sympathy and sound advice." Of course, it wasn't long before you really could get the T-shirt. They have become a favourite of alumni associations worldwide. Thanks Peleprodigy, but I have tried that and my results were not good. The request is for a video of the game running "well", I could send you a video of a color chart in black and white but it kinda defeats the purpose. I will see if I can figure it out and get something reasonable up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleprodigy Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Well, I just watched a video on youtube called "Thunder Run" or something that was actually made by Battlefront. It looked like it was made from the Allahs Fist map. The thing is, it ran horribly! It looked about as good as I can get it to run. And this is a video put on the web by Battlefront! So I am starting to think that I don't actually have poor performance, but rather that is as good as one can get with this game. It's curious, most of the people who claim to have great framerates are not running the settings maxed out, particularly at high resolution. so their expectations are lower. Until Battlefront fix this 'phantom bug' with the game, that is what I am left with to believe, at least until someone can show otherwise (so far no one has) I really want to be proven wrong.
