[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #1 Posted August 10, 2017 So the game just randomly alt tabbed my game ... followed by a 5 second blackscreen (which now happens due to the shoddy DX11 implementation!), I then have to get back to the game with another bloody 5 seconds blackscreen only to come back just before the enemy CV drops on my Gearing. Nevermind all the incessant game crashes in port whenever I want to click on stuff like changing captains, or consumables ... GG WG Quality programming. Not only are you a decade behind in GPU APIs, you also SUCK at using them. Do you even have a quality assurance department? Back to DX9 for me, at least I hope that isn't utterly broken now aswell! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[XTREM] walter3kurtz Players 1,037 posts 10,820 battles Report post #2 Posted August 10, 2017 Have you tried everything on your end? I.e. change drivers, install fresh copy of the game and that sort of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HABIT] Tungstonid Beta Tester 1,568 posts Report post #3 Posted August 10, 2017 A friend of mine also had severe loading problems. After the patch he joined the games about one minutes after the start and camouflages didn't load. even a full new download and installation didn't change anything. After going back to DX9 it worked for him as before. I didn't have any problems so far but I didn't look up whether I use DX11 or DX9 after the update.

WG has yet to switch to DW (Direct Worldmodel) 4.3 "Heliocentric". Right now they are still using the old 3.1c "Flat" in Russia. Also, realism comrade Windowlicker! See? The blackness/darkness of space on the horizon is bound to be noticible where the layer of the Dome-Atmosphere is bound to be the thinnest (since you are so close to the edge; watch out or you might go over said edge)! Completely logical! @Aotearas Who called it? But tbh that was an easiy one. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #6 Posted August 10, 2017 I'll laugh if my client is unstable as previously I found WoWS rock solid. I don't recall it ever crashing on my main PC.

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #8 Posted August 10, 2017 @Aotearas are all the old modes still available? Like full screen, full screen windowed, windowed? If so, what you describe shouldn't happen with full screen windowed ( but you will get less fps in this mode ). edit: Just now, xxNihilanxx said: I just got out of a battle to find my port had been "visited" by scousers. wasn't me this time I swear Looks like it can't load/access the assets ( which also explains people having issues loading into game now suddenly ). Which gpu's are you guys using, and which os/driver versions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #9 Posted August 10, 2017 Also do a update of those if you experience problems. Its only fair from WG to assume you are running a driver from this year too ...... 26 minutes ago, xxNihilanxx said: I just got out of a battle to find my port had been "visited" by scousers. Another realism upgrade comrade! See, WG found some sekrit dock-uments from the soviet navy about experiments conducted in WW2: If soviet torpedoes is dropped into sea, it vanishes! Neither friend nor foe will ever see a trace of its existence again! So, its fair for WG to assume if ship gets dropped into sea, it also vanishes after battle. Might be also a preview to an upcoming economy update: Your ship got "wet on the deck and funnels" - you gotta re-buy for full price - totally realistic! ..... and well, it would be funny if not being so outrageous: Be glad your ship only vanished while supposed to be on the surface in port-view. De Ruyter vanished from the ground of the sea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ACNAF] Okki_ Players 1 post 4,797 battles Report post #13 Posted August 10, 2017 No way I can play that game anymore. FPS dropped from 70 to around 10. I switched back to dx9, it didn't solve crap.

Knowing WG, some new crashes and bugs to enjoy. Maybe a performance boost, but knowing them it might as well be a loss initially due to framedrops (which you dont want torp beating or meleeing somebody). Basically have fun being the guinea pic for WG. In general? Nothing, maybe a driver update when the DX 11 client releases and you want to use that. Some more eyecandy in next 1-3 years. If you want a preview, go look up some 8 year old games ........ ....... to bad nobody wanted to bet against me. Anyway: Time to start and gather a little bit more information. Is it heavily leaning towards a manufacturer? Do you boy and girls all use the newest drivers? etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #18 Posted August 11, 2017 Just wanted to say that switching to DX9 has at the very least gotten rid of the momentary blackscreen when alt-tabbing, PC now seamlessly cycles through windows again. I'll stick with DX9 until WG implements a new patch to deal with performance and stability issues at the very earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
