Just tried the noSSAO mod as well as lowtex

Using the cross country mission as the test - 9fps on takeoff and 21fps flying around. I see no difference from the stock game. frown frown Yes I installed correctly and yes I put the correct parameters in the launch options in steam. Tried with a shortcut on my desktop as well. No dice.

running at 1920x1080 with all medium graphics settings
AMD 955 CPU at 3.7ghz
4gb ram
2x GTX 460 1gb factory OC'd SLI (sli disabled)

Envious of all you who are getting results hehe ;-)

Wow you just don't give in do you, you are the ultimate buzz killer, what difference does it make who is fixing the sim as long as it works, same happened with IL2 at times as I recall, I'm now getting great fps over sea and pretty good over land even over London, and thats with an 8800gt 512k.

Instead of complaining why not be thanking kegetys or is it that you want CoD to fail?

I had a similar experience at first then went back and reinstalled the SFS mod, which as it turned out I had not RTFM so hadn't loaded the following into the launcher.exe.config file
<applicationSettings>
<maddox.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="nativeDLL" serializeAs="String">
<value>parts\core\steam_api.dll</value>
</setting>
<setting name="nativeDLL" serializeAs="String">
<value>kegetys.dll</value>
</setting>

</maddox.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>

Once this was done I had a large fps increase, df's over water now sit at about 40fps on an 8800gt, settings are high (planes and damage) and medium for cities except I am running buildings to unlimited which has no impact on fps that I can see, but with grass roads and shadows off.

I did RTFM smile The above... "code"? was the first thing I did to my launcher.exe.config file
I then added the nossao directory and lowtex directory
then added the -mod=nossao and -mod=lowtex to the launcher options under steam AND via a shortcut (tested both)

no luck

It's ok though, maybe I'll get satisfactory results eventually. smile

I'm sure you did, but just in case, you did put the kegetys.dll file in the COD app home directory as well?

I think the nomipmaps mod is the one that makes most of the difference try that one on top of the other two mods. Works wonders for me couldn't get off the computer last night!!

Same here, no difference with nossao and lowtex. The nomipmap mod does help tremedously with the stuttering, but makes the game unstable on my rig.

Nothing more than a "drag & drop" + "cut & paste", and if it breaks, I'll just re-install.
If you are having fps & stutter troubles, you should not miss out. Changed the game for me in less than 2 min work from my end!

Cheers,
Slug

Bit of a random guess, but using the mipmaps mod would probably require deleting the existing /Documents/1C Softclub/cache directory first? Might help.



Thanks Frog! Just tried it and, sadly, it didn't help.. frown Deleted the cache-folder, reactivated nomipmap and tried my custom "empty London"-mission again.

Result:




Still: Even without that mod and the other two active, the game is a *lot* better ... I'd go so far as to call it playable under most circumstances - with the exception of London. But even there I'm getting much improved performance. It's just not enough to actually enjoy the sightseeing.


Thing is: Before I started switching the Land-shading around (went from medium to low), nomipmaps worked fine for me. I had one crash while loading a canned quick-mission but that was it.

Yes, kegetys.dll is in the COD root directory.

Hope the developers will work these temporary fixes/settings into the next patch asap. They really should consider it. At least as an ini-file option, and then soon after as a WELL-documented gui option. Documentation has always been the problem child of these Russian sims, and CoD seems to be no different. Thanks God('s teeth) for the community.

And I also hope that Kegetys will be well rewarded by those who are using his fix! - Really nice to see a forum member who uses his great talents on something productive.

Mipmaps gets rid if the stutter and I wouldn't worry about the mods breaking your game it's what 3 files that you drag and drop that don't overwrite current files. To remove just delete those files and remove the command line from the launcher.exe easy +++

LandDefault.tep

and now it works, but I dont know maybe someone could fix the file?"

ya Ming dont worry those mods are basically new folders with some data in it. when you lunch the game you jut define where to look for those mods with parameters (basically their folders) and that is it..

when you dont want to use those mods you dont need to reinstall or delete anything, just dont use parameters after launcher.exe

easy biggrin

Ming: Even if you have the mods installed on your system, you can still start CoD without them. Simply remove the command-line parameters or, even easier, double-click the standard "launcher.exe". As far as I can tell, nothing gets overwriten. Simply because installation consists of dropping three new folders into your game-directory and not of *replacing* folders/files. Besides: If all else fails: Simply do a re-install. Not that big a deal.


You really shouldn't miss out on this one. It really is a game-changer on my system.

EDIT: Oops Genie.. looks like we were typing the same thing at exactly the same time... damn! you were 8 seconds faster than me... biggrin

nuggetx is right... the devloper should fix the problems, not crowd-source it out.
