- Controls messed up after I loaded the other level? (cleartest.cry)

which controls did you mean ?

Aug 8 2011 Anchor

Got the bug today again. When I load a level, while in a level, the left, right and down walk keys (ASD) don't work anymore. I think this is a bug in the original game, since it isn't the first this this occurred to me.

never heared of this bug. you seriously should use the "far_cry_v1.4_cumulative.exe" patch
Farcry.gamefront.com
it does not touches your farcry.exe :) (simply save this file befor updating).

hope the weather is better than here :( btw, can you tell me your laptop grafic card name ?
can you please make a screenshot of the missionscreen (tab key ingame) after starting the FWD jeep which starts the sunrotation ?
(this also fills the missions and submissions and you have a widescreen and i'm intrested how the chaarset fits 8)

Weather is very good. The sun is shining almost every day, it's never cold and even when the sun isn't shining you can still walk around in swimming clothes. :P Anyway, my laptop graphics card is a Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family (384 MB VRAM), although I have no idea what it all means. :S And a screenshot of the mission screen:

Is there actually a science bunker in one of the levels you sent me? :P

many thanks for the screenshot! it looks okay, but if i switch on the e_widescreen = 1 (dont know the exact command in the moment) the layout of missions got corrupt :/ hmmm. i will talk to garcy about, he was talking about a widescreen fix in actual fcam.

thank you also for your grafic card data 8) this grafic card is not really designed to handle games; how many frames did you get if you play The Delta Sector? or did you have tried farcry2010 ?

edit.: sorry, no science bunker ;) it copied the text from operation clearing for testing purposes in the cleartest missionscript and doublicated it for testing layout purposes ;)

TDS runs with 10-20.
FarCry 2010 (the old version, haven't tried the new version) runs fine (above 25/30) until I come outside, then the FPS drops down to 5 or lower.

try to lower your screen resolution in farcry, that helps much!
cleartest:
1280x1024 = 75 fps
1024x768 = 150 fps ^^
also reducing AF and Anisotroph filtering gives you a big (!) boost, also texture quality set to low.

btw, as i have seen you have played around in map cleartest; they are placed some new environment triggers, which sets very ressource eating configurations which are not accessilbe with the optionsmenu.
this settings are stored for farcry, not only for the mod (farcry/system.cfg ) . selecting new settings in options/grafic/advanced grafic will reset the most of them.
could you tell me how many memory the taskmanager shows if you play around in editor wih cleartest for a while ?

Aug 15 2011 Anchor

Lol, I just started the editor and loaded cleartest, the level gives multiple graphical glitches:
User Posted Image

The editor uses 99.300 kb memory at the very start, I couldn't try to play around because most of the time I couldn't see anything due the glitches. Also, there was an immense lagg. I think this is caused by one of those resource eating configurations. :P I'll reset my settings and try again.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Update: Started with my normal settings with everything on the lowest as possible, except for "Special Effects", "Environment" and "Water" on medium. (To enable decals, hud blur and get better water)

Memory:
At startup: 92.148 kb
When playing: Memory quickly rised to something around 144.200 kb and then slowly rised towards 157.000 kb, then I quit because the level became very laggy.

I also noticed at some point that one of the triggers caused for very high quality textures, quite nice, but that was probably causing the lagg. :P

hmmmm, you must know something about textures, quality and vram size of your grafic card.

can you please try to lower the values in the texture trigger and tell me if the grafical glitches and the lagging are gone ?
set AnisotropicFilter from 16 to 2.
the trigger is called on the green hill if you press button if text ask for.

this trigger is experimental and will not inserted in the game, it seems its not stable on all systems :/
thank you for testing it out!
can you please set your normal settings in grafic options and report me the memory usage in clearing_sunworks (with 10 times in editor strg+G ) ?
i have a report for memory eating and lagging. maybe its really caused by the texture trigger, which may cause problems.
(was reported from a Vista OS ). XP and W7 seems to be better in memory usage.

Aug 15 2011 Anchor

Vista was a fail based on (game) performance and a lot of other things, that's something I do know. :P

The graphical glitches and most lagging were already gone when I updated the post. ("Update:") ;)

Clearing_sunworks on normal settings: 135.076 kb memory.

thank you! what did you have done to get rid of the lagging? lower the quality settings in options menu or try to alter values in the texture trigger ?

Aug 19 2011 Anchor

Just reset my video settings. :P You said this:

So I did what you said and it was fixed. :)
