Title: Horribly laggy super class
Post by: Bronibor on May 05, 2013, 01:23:54 PM

Every time some SSD enters the battle and starts shooting everyone up, the game begins to slow down or, in case there is more than one SSD, turn into slide-show. Lowering graphic settings didnt help at all, if noe super class is taking part in battle the game usually runs quite fine.

Also there is a problem with T-47's, once they take off into the air the game begins to stutter horribly.

Here are my specs:

AMD athlon II x4 640 3.0 hz
4 GB ram
GeForce GTX 660 ti

Thank you for every reply in advance.

Some people have problems with large ships because of number of weapons and fighters. We're trying to mitigate this going forward. As for the Snowspeeder, we've changed absolutely nothing graphically about it from the base game and there's nothing special about it so I don't know where your issues there would be coming from.

Thanks for answering it is quite playable with one SSD, but in lategame imperials are throwing 2-3 into the frey and thats quite hard for my system to handle. Also i wasnt thinking that speeder bug is realted to graphics, my guess was AI or pathfinding, have you cahnged them anyhow ? also the bug was only present in conquest, i think i'll try to build them in the skirmish and see what happenes.

Also i wanted to ask something about visuals, havent you consider makeing laser pulses thinner and straight-line instead of original ones, it would make them look less obnoxious i think. Thanks for your time again.

Pathfinding is hardcoded, couldn't change it if we wanted.

As for the visduals, we made the projectiles pill-shaped because we prefer that style for this game.

I see, well the problem with speeders have not been seen in skirmish, so this was something probably map-related or anything.

Does someone know if i can remove stupid teamcolors from skirmish and play with non-blue or green painted ships ? i've tried to google it, but i've got no clear answer.

You can't unless you go through all the skins and fill in all the alpha channels.
