Thanks for posting using a format hard to read for people using the dark forum theme.

 

You guys really seem to like doing that and obviating the fact you have a dark forum setting, interesting, and par for the course being WG...

[Aotearas]

Seriously, what's with all those people writing in non-standard formatting that's hard (or in other cases, impossible to read) with the dark forum theme.

What's so bloody hard to just use the default forum formatting or if using copy/paste checking the post as plain text box to default copied content to the forum's default formatting?

 

 

Well, two can play that game ...

@iEarlGrey @MrConway It is so lovely that it’s not just random posts from random people who don’t normally visit forums that can’t be read. Who wants to see what WG staff are posting anyway?

 

I swear, if this continues I’ll start posting everything in moderator red soon.

[Miragetank90]

Thanks for this, it's appreciated.

 

I'll try it out and will let you guys know if it works

[iEarlGrey]

Have amended heinous formatting crimes. Please accept sincerest apologies

and commited a few new ones with @Aotearas's and @wilkatis_LV's posts, eh? I like it!

 

On a somewhat more serious note, any chance you could push this rather annoying issue with the forums up the food chain?

 

Aaaand on topic - can't try the fix right now, but will see if I have the time later today. Thanks at any rate!

I'm a magnanimous forum despot, the colosseum shall wait until next time.

Brilliant post! This is why the forum is much better than the game these days.

Let's see if enabling disabling texture streaming does the trick.

[Miragetank90]

This seems to be working for me, played several games now without frame rate drops where It normally would have occurred.

 

Thanks again! @iEarlGrey

 

I can provide my PC config details. Just to confirm, are you referring to ''System Information'' accessed via dxdiag?

That would be great! Feel free to DM it over to me. Thanks alot.

 

Will add that even those who experience no benefit, please send over either you DXdiag or simply a description of your system specs for forwarding to Devs.

Was it disabled?

 

In \res\engineconfig.xml editing <enableTextureStreaming>true</enableTextureStreaming> to <enableTextureStreaming>false</enableTextureStreaming> can improve things for some people. I'd be surprised if doing the reverse helped. Please let me know.

Whoops, you're right, mixed it up.

I have not been visiting these forums for very long, but what i have noticed is par for the course, is you complaining.

 

You dont even appear to play the game...  not in the last 3 months anyway...

You catch on very fast, sir

[StalkerSoC]

Hmm seems to make things a bit better but I am not sure yet... One of my clan mate used to crash almost every battle when he was caught in a torpedo soup, the patch seems to have fixed his crash.

I'll report more when I do some more game later today.

[Myszauke]

Patch worked om My EU client.

Got approx. 10 FPS better.

I had FPS drop especially later in game session.

Thanx!

@iEarlGrey will this be patched into the update next week? Or do we have to do it manually

Unfortunately, you'll need to do this manually.

Sadly, we've found this doesn't fix things for everyone, it's deeper rooted than just texture streaming, so there's more investigation and testing to do in order to deploy a complete solution to this issue.

Aplied this fix last week when @MrConway kindly delivered it to us in the previous fps thread. Happily this seems have solved the fps issue for me....however the SOUND still suffers from distortion and slows down when under heavy graphical load as it did before the fix....wich is weird? 

Is anyone else still suffering from sound issues after this fix has been Aplied?

 

[StalkerSoC]

So it didn't solved it for me, I still have a lot of issues when a lot of torpedoes are spotted, I even had some lags when I was dropping torps from Enterprise... It doesn't happen every game, but the more I play without restarting the game, the worst it gets. It seems to come when a lot of informations are displayed at the same time in game, also i had some sound issues with Atlanta when firing all main guns.

[Floofz]

Solved it for me, my fps drops are now 100% gone
