Soulza, quite ok — I spent quite a bit of time chasing this error thinking it was a dev version. Went back to 6.3.0 release and it is still there, so the assumption is an XVM service is not responding correctly.
And, to answer — no, I have not seen anything working with teh new features yet — I am still working through mod interactions.
Ok, I think I royally screwed up my WOT install — fortunately, I downloaded and installed a completely virgin copy. I am starting over.
<sigh>
I just found an error with XVM 5700 that may have been causing some issues – they patched and removed the problem in 5703. I’m going to bite the bullet and try Soulza’s again
Well, it that true? I see outlines on through rock — so what defines X-Ray? I know one diff – X-ray (or Contour Look) change color when a tank becomes un-occluded. This only does not – they change only when highlighted AND un-occluded. ZJ’s I think can actually show that part of the outline that is still blocked and color the part that is un-occluded.
Here’s the config for NA. I just tested this as a single mod load only — works, now I go for the Full Monty.
19 minutes ago, soulza said:the server info is not the hardest thing in the world to change to add eu or na server .
but people have asked for an xray mod before and i posted one that works and does not crash , if i have it working then take my word for it it works,
Soulza, I’ve been trying that version — and it does work BUT does introduce some rather odd behavior which I gather is due to an interaction with some other mod – which I cant tell yet. I do know that i tested each of the mods I load with no log errors and no CTD’s, then I started looking for an xray mod. The ones I found produced periodic crashes and freezes. I then tried yours that you posted and it seemed to work fine — then started doing the same thing. I have no doubt it is related to the loadout that I have (could even be XVM related as they had a published error that sounded very similar) — but I will keep trying.
Thanks
Storm, read my post again
Yeah, we ran all AMD’s at Freescale for chip design simulations — they did kill the Intel’s at that time. And we all know WOT was written for the old procs — and the current stable of CPU’s are really optimized for 64bit code ……
<a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://www.blackwot.com/index.php?/profile/14048-sfcstorm/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="14048" href="/index.php?/profile/14048-sfcstorm/” rel=””>@SFCStorm, you poor AMD schmuck!!!! (Sorry, you know I am just kidding about the Schmuck thing — just sounded funny).
We had a briefing from Intel and they have already surpassed AMD again. All of the gains regarding L2/L3/L4 cache is out the door — they are releasing CPU’s that now have all of that memory PLUS DRAM sitting on the CPU, not using a memory controller and therefore not incurring any of the overhead. In addition, they are making disk (SSD) IO directly addressable by the CPU, again bypassing a block controller (ie., a disk controller).
I fear, my friend, that AMD jsut no longer has what it takes. I have numerous friends here in Austin that work(ed) at AMD and they keep laying off the chip designers. CPU’s are no longer making them money — only the GPU’s. They were even dumb enough (like Freescale) to spin off the Memory group — and guess who is making tons of cash making solid state memory??? Not AMD.
I will pray for your CPU-soul to return to the Intel-light. Go toward the light, go toward the light, go toward ……………..
I personally no longer care for AMD CPU’s — and AMD is one of my customers (!). The problem is AMD just does not have the company resources to out-engineer Intel or even out-price Intel. As mentioned by Storm, the CPU is king, then comes disk and memory IO. WOT is very CPU intensive and relies very heavily on disk IO. The new sound engine probably helped those who were already limping, but I did not see a change.
Having said all of this, it is tough to say “Yeah, this and that and a dash of those will 100% crank your fps to 150”. I’ve upgraded to the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming MB with the i7 OC CPU (plus 32gb memory) but retained my original Radeon 7700. I see very consistent fps of 55-65 at high graphic settings but not the crazy 100+fps that others report. At this point I am thinking the grpahics card upgrade might do the trick — but your original post made me realize that I still had my 7700 in an x8 slot, so I just moved it and will test later.
Personally I would recommend looking at an MB that provides the x16 slot for the graphics card — and I would recommend dumping AMD. Just my personal preference. If you want to get really crazy look for an MB that has the M.3 slot (the Asus does). M.3 is the spec that allows one to insert an SSD **directly** onto the PCIex16 bus and make that SSD OS block device addressable. What does this mean? It means that one can see even crazier disk IOPs that with a SATA or SAS attached SSD.
Exactly — and I found this out by installing other TT font files and was able to use those at will. Truly a learning experience Sensai!
