    Hi, folks,

    Saw this yesterday and thought it might be useful for your testing (I hope so, anyways):

    Windows Sysinternals' RAMMap

    Quote from the description:

    "Have you ever wondered exactly how Windows is assigning physical memory, how much file data is cached in RAM, or how much RAM is used by the kernel and device drivers? RAMMap makes answering those questions easy. RAMMap is an advanced physical memory usage analysis utility for Windows Vista and higher.

    Use RAMMap to gain understanding of the way Windows manages memory, to analyze application memory usage, or to answer specific questions about how RAM is being allocated."

    It's free - hope this helps!

    I second getting only the Game of the Year Edition (GOTY): you'll get full access to all the content available for this game (I have over 30 Gigs. . .; DOA has a huge 1+ Gig archive that expands to over 4; the best mods require it.). In general, your copy won't be able to match the good video examples you see, unless it's GOTY.

    The copies I've bought for friends have come from Amazon (US).

    @Drobkins: Thanks!

    Any additional addons needed, like islands? I'm pretty sure I've got VTE and Jungle Fever up-to-date.

    I can make some time for any times after 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Central (other times, too, but that's the easiest).

    FDF mod's one of the greats - some of my favorite missions, both SP and MP, have been for FDF. The FDF mission makers have had a knack for evoking a heavy mood/atmosphere. The old mission site was great for finding good ones - well designed. Happy to see more coming!

    riffleman, if you limit your adjustments to only the modfolder, you should not have to reinstall the entire game, if something goes wrong. Try this: copy the ww4 folder, rename it to something like "ww4testing" and create a shortcut that reflects the changed modfolder name. Do all your tests in that changed modfolder - you'll be able to compare results to the original ww4, and, if you screw up, you can simply re-copy the original modfolder and start again with your tests, without having to reinstall the game.

    Alright, I've got OFP running well enough to play under Wine. Here's what I did:

    1. I set things in winecfg as vektorboson described.

    2. I turned off all Visual Effects - Compiz Fusion was a big drain.

    3. In Flashpoint Preferences, I turned off HW T&L and set the resolution bit depth to 16. Colors are somewhat off (blue blood and fire), but that's acceptable on this underpowered laptop.

    Mouseclicks now register consistently well, lag has been reduced to an acceptably playable level. -nomap and -nosplash are working through ofpwatch. MP works.

    I'll update more if I learn anything new that's helpful.

    Thanks, guys!

    I updated Wine - the version I had was the one from the official repositories and it dates back to 2008, iirc (it's the latest stable release). This new version, beta 1.1.40, has solved a few of the issues, particularly audio. The weird thing now is, I can't run mods unless I use ofpwatch (I actually think that'll simplify things)! I've managed to get on a MP server. Lag is still an issue - I'm fearing that will remain the case. . .

    @vektorboson: Do you recall anything special you might have done to get things running very well?

    Hi, folks,

    I did a search and found little that pertained to running OFP under WINE, particularly with recent releases (plenty on running OFP Windows Server).

    I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and WINE 1.0.1. on an old laptop, Compaq c500.

    Have any of you managed to get OFP running well with WINE? If so, please, describe what you did. I've managed to get it running, even w/ FDF, but not consistently well (choppiness, audio issues, blank screen sometimes, etc. . .). I'm not running settings that should tax the system.

    I'm continuing t work through this on my own and will post what I find, but I'd appreciate the help of someone who can speed things up. I'd like to have a "mobile OFP" option for downtime away from home (I've recently been spending a bunch of time at a hospital and will continue to do so for a little while longer).

    Thanks!:)
