Preditorianz Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hello, Iv been having some issues with my set up, it seems that LOMAC is still running sloppy even after a new comp i built, here are the specs. AMD X2 5300+ MSI 8800 GTX 768Meg 2 Gig Kingston Xtreme Game RAM My HDD is running on Serial 7200 RPM Now with these specs, is there someone who can tell me why my comp is running like crap, i can play LOMAC on high but the shaders dont work and it will often get down to 8fps in a city. I must be doing something wrong here. If there is anyone who can help me with LOMAC or with getting my 8800 GTX to perform the way it said it does Id be greatful.
VMFA-Blaze Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I'm running a similar system myself, not quite as high end as yours but similar.. Well If you expect things to run in double digits at all times I really doubt if there is one as of yet... There's a shader problem with the 8800 series, and you'll have to run it on all planer.. But other then that you can raise up the rest your settings to maximum ... You might also try assigning functions to separate processing core's ... But I found that if the games playable with these settings, that's the main concern... One of the things that I found about this card that I like the most is it's ability to show greater detail, enabling you to be able to visually see aircraft at a greater distance... I mean BVR is fun but a real knife fight when you win is more gratifying...:thumbup: Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
Preditorianz Posted April 27, 2007 Author Posted April 27, 2007 Dang i really wanted those shaders too, what do u mean about the core? please explain
VMFA-Blaze Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Take a look at this, it could give you some ideas on what you can do to increase your FPS... http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=19634&highlight=setting+affinity ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
dodger42 Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Do you have processor affinity set? I had the same problem on dual core. Lockon is not multicore friendly. Go to process manager, right click lockon.exe and set affinity. Set it to CPU or Core 1. 0 is typically used by the OS. Hope it helps. . . . Lockon Advanced Realism with Touch-Buddy
Kuky Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Don't use HIGH visibility range settings... that's too much for any system even today. You can use high scenery but not visibility range. What you shoud do (like many of us do) manually tweak these values in graphics.cfg file... this part: (This is what I use) Camera { current = "Medium"; ... ... Medium { near_clip = 5.e-002; middle_clip = 2; far_clip = 160000; structures = {100, 5000}; trees = {100000, 10000}; dynamic = {300, 10000}; objects = {4000, 40000}; mirage = {3000, 10000}; surface = {30000, 160000}; lights = {200, 10000}; lod = 5; } ... ... Structures have by far the greatest effect on frame rate, which is why you have very low framerate when you fly over cities. First value is density, second is visibility range.

Brickner Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I have a similar system, 8800 gtx, intel dual core 3600+ (2.4 gigs x 2) and 2 giggs of ddr2 ram runnign on vista ultimate. I have not had any of those frame rate drops with my system, and have everything fully maxed including visibility ring on high. Shaders work great, all I can say is Nvidia came out with new drivers within the past week and a half, make sure you are up to date, and play with some of the settings in nvidia control panel. The followign is what i have set and it works fine: Antialiasing gamma correct : aplication controlled Antialiasing mode: On Antialisasing transparency: supersampling Conformant Texture clamp: use hardware error reporting: Off extension limit: on force mip maps: none Multi display/ mixed Gpu acceleration: single display Texture filtering negative LOD bias: allow Texture filtering quaility: High quality Threaded optimization: auto Triple buffering: on Verticle sync: force off Good luck

I fly with everything max'd out in LOMAC. High everything. With respect to the video card itself, the only thing I don't have is Anisotropic filtering. It causes the game to crash when cloud density is greater than 8 & I like to fly with some weather no matter what.
