Dunian Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Other than being unable to exit PL storage (No i don't have custom maps), and a bit of a decrease in FPS when I max out perspective, it appears to run ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kibora Report post Posted January 10, 2006 the memory usage in RC4 is much higher. it was 10-30 MB in RC 2 and 3 and here it's 80-100+ MB. the FPS is lower than the previous 2 RCs. the client no longer crashes on changing the resolution or full screen though. i'm with widows XP athlon64 2.8 512 Ram GeForce FX 5700 so far RC2 was best for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted January 10, 2006 RC4 had no speed improvements, it had some bug fixes plus support for the shadows using frame buffer objects (which allow for greater shadow map sizes, and much better quality, at the cost of the FPS). We will look into those bugs.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Ok, the "can't exit and enter" places problem has been fixed, the code should be in the CVS soon. I will make another release candidate tomorrow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Piper Report post Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) I found out this the last 2 days: cut&paste does work very strange. Meaning, i cut something from mozilla with CTRL-c and try to paste it into the client with CTRL-v, doesnt work. I must press CTRL-v 2 or 3 times to paste it. And sometimes i even paste some old content... Piper Edit: stupid typos.... Edited January 11, 2006 by The_Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larrystorch Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Compiled the latest-greatest on Linux and the first thing I noticed that changed is that "Near Plane Distance" is clipped on animated models for me. Current official client: walking and viewing from the rear, characters/monsters will appear at the edge of the screen as soon as they possibly would. CVS Client: characters/monsters do not appear till about half down the screen. There were time I was approaching an ore deposit that I thought was empty, and didn't see it was crowded till I was almost right on top of it. I played around with the near plane setting and it didn't seem to do anything.

vitez Report post Posted January 12, 2006 OK. Latest CVS build (i686, dynamic) can be found at (usual) http://gnu.nu6.org:8000/files/el.x86.linux.bin - it works very well here... Had to update one library but otherwise this is running great on my system. Thank you. Which one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamincollins Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Had to update one library but otherwise this is running great on my system. Thank you. Which one? libcal3d, Debian Stable has libcal3d10 and your dynamic build needed libcal3d11. It was a quick easy fix, but if you have time a static build might allow more Linux users to test easily. If you need hosting space I'd be happy to provide it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamincollins Report post Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Just had the opportunity to view the portals room with the RC4 client and the reflections are horrid. Elsewhere the reflections are very nice and crystal clear. In the portals room they are terrible. RC4 Portals Room Screenshot Note: yes, frame buffer support is enabled, running on a GF 6800 w/ v8178 drivers. Addendum: notcing a similar problem in the TG garg cave. Happens here after picking up a monster drop and eventually clears up. Edited January 12, 2006 by jamincollins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasp0dE Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Just two things for now. Portal Room has -1 light sources. That could be the cause of a few strange things there. Sometimes the client fills up the memory on the graphic card. I have a 6600GT with 128 meg ram. using 2048 for shadow map size it doesn't happen that often, but if i use 4096, it happens very often. I will get back with more detailed information about the second problem. //Gasp0dE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted January 12, 2006 There is not much of a difference (visual difference) between 2048 and 4096 shadowmaps. So far, there is no need to use such a large shadow map, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasp0dE Report post Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Stay at a house corner and you can very easilly see the difference. But thats not the major thing. The thing was that it fills up the memory on the gfx and when it was full, it still tried to put textures or whatever to the gfx. //Gasp0dE Edited January 13, 2006 by Gasp0dE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrCrusher Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I just saw something weird happen to a player that came by. I have seen this once too, but since I never saw it again I figured it was a glitch in my system. I've also seen a couple of totaly black creatures (wolves, deers) once. After a relog the problem was gone and I never saw it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
