huhr Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I was wondering if the mouse scroll could be smoother? Also, it seems like some hesitation when attacking etc. Its not as quick as global conflict and the other games. Can I make any tweaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALthered Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I agree. The whole thing feels sluggish and frankly it is putting me off. Map scrolling is terrible and when more units appear during the war the whole thing gets worse. Even combat is sluggish and selecting and deselecting takes a second,a long time given the number of units .I try and use the global map to jump to my units but the sheer size makes this hit and miss. I like the concept of this game but i am disappointed at the moment. Hope a patch comes out soon because this is a step back for me. Anyone else with these problems or suggestions ? Al.

worg64 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have no such issues at all, the game works great and it is a really fun game. The AI just need some fine tuning and to be a bit more aggressive and we will have a great and fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huhr Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I agree again althered, it seems it also happens to you. Plus, I have a top of the lne gaming computer and it roars through all other games. Yeah, I am not that into the game right now, really havent played it much since that has put me off with the very short delay on moving and stuff.

ALthered Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have a high spec PC too. I saw in another thread that Hubert had removed the full screen toggle so playing in lower resolutions has to be in a window. I have briefly tried playing in a window at lower resolutions but it did not work. I think Hubert also said that pre-release testing suggested that the game did not perform well on Windows 7 (64 bit) which i am running. I cannot find a way to run it in backward compatibility mode at the moment or in full screen at lower video resolutions, but I will keep trying. I am not being negative about this game I just want to play it .Anyone with any suggestions, I.e how to reduce the resolution but still run at full screen ? or does someone know how to overcome windows 7 problems ? .Any help would be much appreciated.

ALthered Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 OK, a bit of tweaking and i have a game which is now playable. Basically you need to temporarily reduce the desktop resolution from 1680x1050 to 1280x800 ,restart the game and adjust the in game resolution to the same (1280x800) .This makes map scrolling much faster and the whole game is a lot slicker. There are drawbacks of course, graphics are now slightly blurry and less impressive and the visible area of the map is a bit smaller, but at least it is now playable. Hope that helps you Huhr. Al.

Hubert Cater Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi Al, Huhr, There is a hotfix, v1.00.2 that can be found here that will help you adjust the settings more intuitively, i.e. you won't need to change your desktop settings. It can be found under the Strategic Command WWI category: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_versions&Itemid=317 My guess is that some of the latest video cards unfortunately do not support 2D drawing modes that well and I would suggest trying to download the latest video card driver to see if that helps. With the hotfix what you can do is select a lower resolution and/or try running the game in 'Full Screen' mode to see if that helps. This can be done in game via the SETTINGS dialog. Game should run fine on all systems including Windows 7, just that we noticed that on some Windows 7 systems running the Aero desktop theme the game would sometimes not gain focus at launch. This seems to be a very rare issue and is not related to what you have described here. Additionally since the map is much larger it may run a bit slower on some systems but really this should not be as noticeable on higher end computers so when you mention that the game runs smoother at a lower resolution my guess is that it is more video card related. Hopefully this helps, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woverby1963 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have only downloaded the demo so far and played a turn or two myself. I did notice that scrolling is quite a chore and unit selection and moving is really slow. In previous games this was sometimes an issue but there was a video acceleration selection in the settings to fix this, is there anything like that in the full game? Bill.........

Wolfpack Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 On thing you might want to consider is what your zoom level is. The medium zoom level is horribly slow for me, but if I remain fully zoomed in, it scrolls just fine. The only times I use the mid level zoom is on the oceans for units that move a long way each turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huhr Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks hubert and al, downloading the hotfix patch right now, he al you ever want to get a direct game going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 For anyone that finds the scrolling a bit slow on the normal zoom levels if you can send me an email with your system specs that would be great. This never came up during testing so it would be nice to properly track this down. Send to support@furysoftware.com Thanks, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe 1759 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Found a solution that works for me My desktop resolution is 1920x1080 If I select in Settings a full screen resolution of 1600x900 then the scroll lag pretty much disappears and to my mind / eyesight it looks better at this res anyway.

Hubert Cater Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks Wolfe, great tips and for those that will still have some trouble with scrolling speed, this should also now be fully resolved with the options to disable in game text with the upcoming patch v1.04.
