IndeedPete 1038 Posted February 27, 2016 How long did you actually wait for the blackscreen to go away again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biflioi 8 Posted February 27, 2016 more than 2 min for sure. was entering esc-menu just to see if it actually hang but its running. can walk around (at least by the sound of it). what is odd, that once the game is saved the screen comes shortly back on just to get black again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted February 27, 2016 Hm, that is weird, it might be a mod. If you intend to play it again, either try disabling some mods or just set the Blowout Interval to "never". In MP, this can be done in the parameters screen of the lobby. In SP, you can turn off Blowouts in the parameter dialog at the beginning of the mission (it's in the most left category).

Alex150201 894 Posted February 28, 2016 Hey. First, thanks for the great mission. had a blast last night :). My question is related to the black screen after the "storm" hits. I have to fully leave the mission to get it back to work. (it doesnt hang, just keeps the screen black so, save mission and load again). Is that a known issue, or is it just me? Is its me, where could it come from? Apart from some equipment mods I´m running: Blastcore, CBA, JSR DF (eden release), TPW, Enhanced Movement and VCom... Strange, I never had such a problem and I play with a crap ton of mods too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if you are describing the same thing as what I am thinking of, but this seems like an issue that some other missions such as Pilgrimage were affected by. It seems to affect missions that have a custom setup screen where you can define parameters and it is caused when you are running any mod that gives a small error notice on game start. Such as with RHS-it gives a small error about a scope not being found or something. I'm not sure of a fix besides removing the mod causing the problem-but this may be the same issue.

jamie1992 17 Posted March 2, 2016 Gave this mission a try as it seems pretty damn fun. Only problems I have is that my FPS never seems to go above 15. (I'm assuming that is just my dinosaur of a PC struggling to run the mission) And being incapable of finding the last couple Anomalies. Plus I manage to run right into them before actually realising and getting hurt. (Again my own idiocy) Shall give this another go, but love the atmosphere and general idea behind it.

stk2008 14 Posted March 2, 2016 Yep same problem TBH I have a better PC than you as ya know and FPS is 20 most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex150201 894 Posted March 2, 2016 Performance isn't THAT bad come on guys. I run the mission with 30-45 fps on Ultra settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie1992 17 Posted March 2, 2016 Performance isn't THAT bad come on guys. I run the mission with 30-45 fps on Ultra settings. Well you gotta remember that not everyone has a monstrously powerful rig. I usually play the game on Medium settings at about 20-30FPS in heavy combat. But Contention Zone just destroys my framerate from the get go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks for your replies! May I ask what kind of rig you sport? And which mods, if any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie1992 17 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks for your replies! May I ask what kind of rig you sport? And which mods, if any? Running a Intel Core I5 760 @2.80GHZ, 8GB Ram (1333 mhz unless mistaken) Nvidia 1GB 560TI Harddrive is just general Western Digital 500gb @7200rpm that maxes out at about 150ish read and write speeds. My rig isn't powerful by any means, just contention seems to start benchpressing my motherboard. :P Oh and Running Windows 10 64Bit Oh I forgot to say, with no mods at all.

IndeedPete 1038 Posted March 4, 2016 I cannot really bring anything useful to the table with sporting a Xeon quadcore with 8 threads and 3.8 Ghz turbo alongside of a GTX 980. Last time I checked, it ran okay. Certainly better than older versions of the mission. Is that low frame rate a problem which is really related to Contention Zone or does it occur in, say, the official campaign as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted March 4, 2016 As for now, everything heavy at runtime (random AI patrols, mission-specific objects, loot, zombies) is getting spawned when the player closes in and despawned when he leaves again. Only AI active all the time are the story characters and pre-placed patrols. I might be able to cache these patrols though, maybe it helps a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that low frame rate a problem which is really related to Contention Zone or does it occur in, say, the official campaign as well? The Main campaign runs somewhat decently, and a lot of mod missions also. Like Antistasi, Liberation, PMC Simulator, ALiVE missions, and so forth. They do dip now and then. Contention zone just seems to be a constant sluggish fps on my rig. Again however, my PC is not that powerful really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndeedPete 1038 Posted May 19, 2016 Okay, why would someone want to reset it? I know Surfer spent quite some time to get it right and it's one of the most powerful visual aspects of the zone. Unless of course, you run it on DevBranch with the visual upgrade. That might interfere, I actually don't know.^^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In I disabled it initPlayerLocal.sqf, but it is causing errors in log files. Has anyone tried will integrate Contention Zone and RAVAGE, it turns out interesting.

IndeedPete 1038 Posted May 20, 2016 I don't think the Ravage mod is going to do anything as it seems to be based on editor-placed modules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
