Solomon Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Okay so i thought its time to collect up the commands what one way or another boost the fps. Soo far i only know these: * pois This one turns of distance rendering of points of interests, it boosts up fps a bit and is also helpful to fix a myriad of bugs like the "fake blocks" you can pass throught or building shadows generated throught terrain. * gfx pp enable 0 This one turns off post processing and can easily net you more fps. * gfx af 0 This one turns off anisotropic filtering, suprisingly it can net you 30+ fps when you activate it with minimal quality decrease. * gfx dt This one turns off distant terrain supposedly, havent tested it yet. Anybody has more tips on bringing out more fps without making the game look like a bad minecraft clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Dynamic resolution (set to SCALE) can help. Play on a 4k world. (or, generate a 2k world via the dedicated server, just set the .xml config to RWG, 2048 size, run the dedi launcher let it generate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampirenostra Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 but it looks crappy with DR... Each time you turn around and start running you can get epilepsy attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowers texture resolution at a set size while keeping your UI crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unholyjoe Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 ***************************************word of caution... almost anything that helps will also restrict or turn off something else (basically there is always a cost). good luck and try "trees" once temp turns of tree spawns. also dont expect my results to be what you may get as i am using rtx2080ti (just comparing the setting) QA Tester-unholyjoe*************************************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampirenostra Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 having no trees will make game such a fun! You're running from a wondering horde and get stuck in an obstacle less spot)) You'll also have trouble completing your firs quests, as you will not be able to find trees to cut down.

Sarakatunga Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 the "pois" command doesn't work when on my dedicated server! it says "is not active". How do I activate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampirenostra Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 For me the best result still is from: "gfx pp enable 0" I can dig out like 10 to 15 fps with it without noticeable difference in overall quality. If I could also remove the leaves from the trees.. hmm... Another think I would love to do is reduce the AI intelligence for most zeds, just leave the good one for like radiated versions, the rest can be dumb as rock)) then I could spawn more of them and inhabit the vast world with them. Still remember days when going to a city was a crazy idea as it was crowded with zeds. I would also like to make zeds bodies kinda bullet proof so you can only kill them with headshots and make heads easy to deal with this can bring so much fun! Ahhh those were the days...

The_Great_Sephiroth Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I am guessing people needing this extreme have very low-end systems? I run an i7-6950X coupled with an RTX 2080 Ti and I get a constant 50-60fps with everything maxed out in 2K (2560x1440) with vertical sync. I initially played on a GTX 550 Ti and a Core i5-2500 with 16GB of DDR4 and even then I could do medium to high at 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of in A18 i was able to run the game on high settings at 100fps the latest update put me down to 30-40fps while everything is as low as possible.

The_Great_Sephiroth Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 They changed the rendering (or entire?) engine in A19. It looks FAR better but I imagine that it takes a hit on older hardware. I probably could not use the old GTX 550 Ti any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent noticed much differences between the A18 and A19 in terms of graphical upgrade apart from the light and some model changes (book shelves). Looking around for A18 VS A19 pictures i havent found much differences. I also dont understand how the Terrain Quality setting what adds almost no visual change can eat up 30+ fps.

The_Great_Sephiroth Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 They changed something. I'd swaer they enabled ray-tracing on the guns. The MP5 reflects the world around it on the stock now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Great_Sephiroth Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I do not have a screenshot of the MP5 right now but look at the scope on the M4. Very reflective all over and the sight-glass is either reflecting the world behind me OR showing me what it is looking at through the other end. *EDIT* Looks like the forum scaled my image down. It was 2560x1440, but it is nowhere near that now. May need to use imgur or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dumb AI is quite doable in a small xml mod I believe these two rown in an entityclasses.xml mod should do the trick for all Z's (not sure where I found the edits, been using them since A17 and cranked up the zombieamount. <set xpath="/entity_classes/entity_class/property[@name='AITarget-4' and @data='class=EntityPlayer,0,0,EntityNPC,0,0']/@data">class=EntityPlayer,10,30,EntityNPC,0,0</set> <set xpath="/entity_classes/entity_class/property[@name='AIPathCostScale']/@value">0.0,0.1</set> Bulletproof Zombies only killable with headshots I think has a DMT mod for it, Darkness falls has that as an option for exactly that in the DMT settingfile atleast. Wish we could get the town biome back, then it would be a breeze (Maybe someone can make a DMT mod for this?), I upped the spawns and respawn time in wasteland biome to madness, and we found a city in wasteland, and it was like old days hubcity.

They're running straight for the player regardless if it's spikes or crap in the way, Haven't seen them running around buildings to find the door either. If they can't reach us during a bloodmoon for example they get pissy and hit blocks and spikes and whatnot on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more pathing cheese, no more worry that adding one more layer to the front would make them path into a different part! You are a lifesaver!

Vampirenostra Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Didn't find where to put the first row, but replacing the line <set xpath="/entity_classes/entity_class/property[@name='AIPathCostScale']/@value">0.0,0.1</set> for each zed type in the entityclasses.xml does the stuff. Could support up to 50 zeds on the screen with moderate fps drop, yet still payable. Problems start when they begin demolishing the surroundings)) All this integrity calculations throw my poor i7-8750 into heavy throttling dropping to 2.2Ghz per core... 4 minutes ago, Solomon said: Could you help me with it a little bit?
