Your patch made the gameplay...

[Thorpy]

My motion blur has suddenly turned to blackout now, which is really crude, the motion blur gives atmosphere whilst the blackout thing is just damn anoying.

I read the update that there was a fix for some exploit about motion blur, i wasnt using any exploit? I just had Motion Blur ticked

Direct 3D mode btw.

Thorpy.

Oh and that memory leakage fix... Was it supposed to make the maps load quicker or just reduce RO killing our CPU's? Thanks.

Oh yea i have the official patch if it makes a difference!

 

[Yoshiro]

In some cases the memory leak fix will help load times.

And D3D 9 mode should be the only mode with motion blur, Open GL and D3D will use a black out. If you are using D3D 9 it sounds as if your ini's might have become corrupt, try deleting the user.ini and redorchestra.ini.

 

[Thorpy]

Cheers for the reply!

When i run my game in D3D 9 its really laggy, even in the menu and such.

Before the patch the motion blur worked fine even in D3D mode...

I have made changes to ini files in an attempt to make the maps load faster, will deleting them make things go default?

Cheers,
Thorpy.

 

[daschewy]

yes it will

 

[Thorpy]

Well, deleting the ro.ini royally screwed my game up.

Ever since the patch my game has been fubar, no motion blur, longer map loading times, very laggy in servers.

Not happy

 

[Yoshiro]

What are your system stats? And as I said, I do not believe motion blur is supposed to work in just D3D mode. Hop on IRC for faster feedback from me as we try and sort this out.

 

[Thorpy]

Yes but it worked fine before the patch

Specs.

There is no motion blur in anything but Direct3d9 mode, and there never was in any previous version. If you were running with motion blur before, you were in D3d9 mode.

 

[Thorpy]

Listen, i had motion blur working perfectly fine on D3D.

I was NOT in D3D 9 mode because i can barely move the cursor on the menu in D3D 9. The cursor moves perfectly fine in D3D, i ran the game ONCE in D3D 9 and it ran horribly, after that i just used D3D and i know that motion blur was working BEFORE the patch because magically after steam updated RO everytime a nade went off it went black.

 

[Yoshiro]

And since you deleted your redorchestra.ini you might want to do a few tweaks to it since it reset. The stuff not bolded you shouldn't touch.

Change:

[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=32
UseSound=True
VoIPAllowVAD=False
ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
ServerPackages=Core
ServerPackages=Engine
ServerPackages=Fire
ServerPackages=Editor
ServerPackages=IpDrv
ServerPackages=UWeb

to

[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=64
UseSound=True
VoIPAllowVAD=False
ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
ServerPackages=Core
ServerPackages=Engine
ServerPackages=Fire
ServerPackages=Editor
ServerPackages=IpDrv
ServerPackages=UWeb

since you have 512 ram. And you might want to set precatch to false on your system.

You can do this by changing

[Engine.LevelInfo]
PhysicsDetailLevel=PDL_Medium
MeshLODDetailLevel=MDL_High
bLowSoundDetail=False
DecalStayScale=2.000000
bNeverPrecache=false

to

[Engine.LevelInfo]
PhysicsDetailLevel=PDL_Medium
MeshLODDetailLevel=MDL_High
bLowSoundDetail=False
DecalStayScale=2.000000
bNeverPrecache=true

And hop on IRC so we can try and figure this out faster #redorchestra on irc.gamesurge.net . Oh and now that I think of it, make sure mouse smoothing is off in settings as it can be known to cause lag on some systems (yours might be one).

 

[Thorpy]

I have already done those tweaks

Cheers Yosh for your help.

 

[Thorpy]

Oh yea i forgot about this problem.

When i played the game after the patch and deleting the ini file i got the Scope, when i put it into IS mode the scope sight seemed alot larger and it was also white in the scope?

Wth?

 

[Yoshiro]

There are actually 3 scope settings, it got reset on your change. You can find them in settings model small, large, and texture, or you can hit I think F12 ingame to change it. And I think you need D3D 9 for the models to work again, but I could be wrong on this one.

Try switching over to D3d9 and starting your own practice server and see if that fixes it.

 

[Thorpy]

I will try this tommorrow as the time is 1:30am n i needa get some sleep.

Cheers again for the help.
