w00t! installed and have been fiddling. good patch imo!! time for some multiplayer action

[Skii]

Yep

Lomac just got better

much better


Framerates are more consistant - not necessarily faster but more consistant (less of the 10fps here and 70fps there) Something has certainly been optimised, can now crank up Advanced Haze and Scenes to High, and everything is smooth and .....nice

Low-level tomfoolery through towns is silky and non-jerky, weapons have been tweaked and the Eagle radar and Amraams are now the feared combination they are in real life, the AI have been given a serious IQ boost - watch those horrible Shilkas turn their radars off untill you are right in their kill zones - nasty. Strela-10s will track you and seem to wait until the opportune time before firing an IR SAM at you, amazing human-like tactics at times.

Busy missions are playable, lots of tanks and planes zooming around out of sight don't slow everything down to a crawl despite being off screen, this is a definate improvement.

Textures are less "see-thru" - ie you can't see the sea through the deck of the Kuznetsov any more.


I've just spent a weekend getting to grips with the new Lomac, make no mistake it will still melt the fastest of PCs, but its new, improved and much much better.

Good patch, big fixes - its what the original release should have been

Ah good

[Lowe]

Kills my rig now. Been playing it a bit and in some missions for no reason at all I get a 0fps "moment" that lasts about 30 seconds, then alls back to normal.

Very odd, never used to suffer this before.


Still, gonna try multiplayer tonight, see how we get on

hmmmm possibly Heat-blur ?

[Lowe]

Nope, happens with it on or off.

FPS in general is down as well.

did you do a clean install m8 ?

[Lowe]

Yes, haven't had LOMAC installed for donkeys. Went from 1.00 to 1.02.

I've just remembered that I hadn't done the LOD change, so I've just tinkered with the values and dropped them from 40,000 / 10,000 to 20,000 / 10,000 and I've not suffered yet although the mission was mainly over water.

Just done a nice new 1.02 mission. Might turn it into multiplayer and let you lot lose on it.

Oh and my sounds gone all crackly now

[MasterFlash]

Im gonna do a fresh install - its gone a bit gerky
