Low framerate at tactical combat
NickD:
Hello! I have installed UFO:AI v.2.2 and it works ok, but i've found something annoying:
In tactical combat mode , framerate drops to 2 per second. This is unaffected of the change of the the video mode, or of change of the all video options. I've spotted, if there is no my soldier in the screen, the framerate rises (sometimes up to 60 fps). But in 95% of the time, the game is almost unplayable because of lag.
Do someone experience the same problems, and is this a bug?
Can it be corrected some way?
I'm running the UFO on Toshiba Satellite A200-14D laptop, under Windows Vista Home Premium.
My video is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 256MB
Mattn:
are you using the latest nvidia drivers? or the microshit drivers?
NickD:
The latest NVIDIA drivers are used.
I've had some difficulties with many applications, so i've installed and updated everything. Now i didnt expirience any video problems with other software. Even UFO works okay, excluding only this feature.
I've also disabled Aero and started compability mode.
Destructavator:
I've noticed this too, with my desktop that has a NVIDIA 7300 LE video card while running the game on the Vista partition, although for me the slowdown occurs only while the view is near the dropship - If I scroll away to a different part of the battlescape the framerate rises dramatically. What's even more strange is that when updating to the next released beta (not the main release) the problem comes and goes. At first I thought is was a bug in the code that was then fixed, but some SVN revisions give me this problem while others do not.
If I have more time later I'll try to do some more testing and see if I can post a log or more info that might help lock down the issue.
EDIT: I also use NVIDIA's drivers, not MS.
NickD:
Yes, this is exactly the same problem!
If this can help, i've experienced some problems earlier with 3dsMax and other software when using NVIDIA DDS texture files. I've fixed the problem by installing a new versions of DDS plugins for programs where problem was found. But may be this have some connection with UFO FPS problem too?
P.S.
I've tried to install and run the game on my desktop system with Win XP and NVidia GeForce 3 Ti 200, everything works ok, fps are about 80 every time.
