m21man 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Time to start pissing: 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 1 GB DDR RAM 128 MB Radeon Pro OFPMark - 2252.86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taconic 0 Posted October 10, 2003 I pulled a 1365, but that isn't entirely accurate.OFP seems to have a particularly memory leak on multiproc systems. I've tested it on two and both fall victim to it, yet none of the uniproc systems that I've tried it on in the exact same configuration have the problem. It's kind of difficult to maintain an acceptible framerate when the system is paging out like there's no tomorrow because Flashpointresistance.exe has decided to gobble up 411MB of memory. There are certain missions that I can't even play because of this. The paging is so bad and constant that it takes well over a minute to tab out and kill the process. Anyway, specs: Dual 2.66GHz Xeon Supermicro X5DAE 512MB PC2100 GF4 Ti 4400 Have you tried setting the processor affinity (making the game run on only one processor) for OFP after launching the game? First thing I tried. It makes no difference, which makes no sense. I have absolutely no idea why this would only manifest on multiproc machines even when the process is running on one processor. I sent BIS a bug report some time ago. I never heard back from them and haven't seen anything listed in the 1.92 erata, so I assume they aren't going to pursue it.

Kuja- 0 Posted October 10, 2003 2400+ @ 2.4ghz 512 XMS3200 (DDR400) 128mb 9800Pro with 3.7 Catalysts 8RDA+ (Nforce2), 200mhz FSB 1024*768*32 4xAA 8xAF (Quality) 1024*768*32 Showing again that OFP is extremely CPU speed/mem bandwidth dependent. Perhaps you should do a test based around rotating/panning in a large town, that should place some more emphasis on the video card performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skulleye 0 Posted October 10, 2003 Did you see Toadlife's last note:Quote[/b] ]NOTE If your game wont run with the included flashpoint.cfg file, open up your flashpoint preferences and set every setting to the highest it can go to. Yeah, that was what I tried, but it wtill didn't work. Then I noticed the memory was set to 512 MB even though I only have 256 MB. But even if I changed it to 256 MB it still wouldn't work. Does any of you know which setting in the preferences can cause a black screen? The game still works, as I can use the menu to quit. I just can't see any thing.

bonko the sane 2 Posted October 10, 2003 maybe its related to HW T&L? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toadlife 3 Posted October 11, 2003 Try deleting your flashpoint.cfg file completely, click on "autodetect" int he setup and then set every setting to it's highest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ale2999 0 Posted October 11, 2003 hmm interesting my cpu benchmark in my ofp preferences is 5660 P4 2.4 533 bus 768 mb pc 2700 ram ati radeon 9800 pro 128 meg asus ps533 mobo on board audio LOL do my scores look a tad small? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toadlife 3 Posted October 11, 2003 Yea they do look too small. I need to make the test more consistent. I will work on it tonight. The AI in the tests is what's screwing everything up royally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toadlife 3 Posted October 13, 2003 My rig didn't survive Test 4. Got the blue screen. Maybe 1.94 would fix that though. hmm this may be a valuable crash finder for BIS. I'm gonna release OFPMark v2.0 later tonight. It will give results that are MUCH more consistent and they will also strain the computer even more - those people that are getting 2000+ scores will be brought down to earth with version 2.

I've got a P3 500, 384mb RAM and a GF4 Ti4600 The video card does about 10% of the work it could be doing if I had a better processor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toadlife 3 Posted October 13, 2003 Yeah, your CPU and memory subsystem can't push enough data to your graphics card. FYI: an Athlon chip will give ~1.5x the performance of a PIII 500 at the same clock speed. That explains why VMF124 Foxtrot got a higher score than your Pentium system. The tests are too flaky to compare systems as of yet. LIke I said, I have a new version which I will perfect tonight and post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdog~ 0 Posted October 15, 2003 mr. toadlife, you must also take into account the PLAYER's 'userinfo.cfg' when you release the next version. Example: some players here may have framerate up all the way and visual quality all the way vice versa (it can go a milliond ifferent ways..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
