LISTEN!!!! you can NOT blame the game when you have mods installed ?

I am getting a bit fed up of people blaming the patch on crashes ? delete all your mods then report crashes? none !!! its the mods that have not been updated that cause crashes , them and stupid fucking retards that try to use old mods with latest patch.

sailor the color codes are easy to work out , ok you know its red,green,blue,alpha correct ?

and all values are 1.0 or smaller ?

so 0.6 would be 60% ? 

r= .411 like you state above would be .40 or 40%  r = 40% green =52%

here is my version of na config

only thing is this mod IS NOT XRAY its outline mod only in the fact it only changes tank outlines you are not able to see behind items etc.

[soulza]

the version above should work because it works outside of the game in a way , its an old mod that has been updated and always worked well in the past , i will do a config for NA servers and test

 

[soulza]

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,

lol , a cheat will not make you a better player , it will just make you a cheater plain and simple.

however a nice little modpack may improve your game , even a good gunsight can help,

my best advice to anyone who wants to improve their gameplay is learn how to use the minimap circles , people overlook these and they are a very powerful tool  if you use them properly ,

select vehicles that suit your gameplay style , its pointless playing a TD if you like to brawl close up , and pointless trying to snipe in a light tank.

if you have xvm installed it tells you who the good players are on your team , watch what they do and where they go on each map , they know these maps inside out so will adopt the best positions for the vehicles they are driving.

in the end it depends on how you want to judge who is good or who is bad , most opt for the wn8 ratings , nothing is perfect but wn8 is pretty decent way of ranking , the worse possible crime you will often see in a battle is a player driving his tank into stupid no win situations , or remaining still and firing when there are three arty on other team , if your unsure follow a good player and mimic what he does , this also gives you the added protection because he will normally defend you as well as hinself.

i dont think you understand , THIS WILL get you banned , not this is illegal or you may get banned , WG have blocked this exploit , if you did find a working version for 9.15 as soon as you fire it up WG will have you.

[soulza]

this cheat is well known by wargaming using it will get you banned

ahh been on test server this evening , i had to redownload client due to reformat of hard drive last week ,

I found i was getting fps dips again , so put my engine_config.xml in and it didnt work to well ,so i opened up and did an edit on the 9.15 engine_config.xml and  can honestly say game is running on medium settings with shadows etc, and i am pulling between 120-100 fps at fecking last  this is with xmap disabled but hp in players panels enabled , fps do drop to around 80 when in fire fight but finally full xvm at a great frame rate ,

not FPS top left

[soulza]

the realistic thing is this , i have a quad core and i also have a six core for day to day stuff these rock ,they were built with multi tasking in mind,

world of tanks runs on a single core , so i would sumise an old athalon would run the game smoother than a multi core setup

[soulza]

got to be honest i loved it , and have been able to belt out 5,000+ damage quite a few times , the thing that makes it good are its 700 dmg gun and the speed you can get from a to be , it has a french style of play to it i think

[soulza]

what i did notice on the test server is the sounds are deffo assigned to a separate core so the sound issues have been resolved , however i also noticed

(sorry no screenshot) that there are a few more sound settings to tweak now  in the ingame menu , like headphones/speakers , dynamic/narrow/wide

for me personally wargaming are so intent on producing HD models of each tank every patch they fail to realise that many people dont give a toss about the greater detail ,

if it puts a strain on your game you generally dont like it , they had to change the sounds and in 9.15 you will see why they have ,you will gain fps.

 

[soulza]

Now having a new graphics card is all well and good as long as you can use the extra FPS

Here is my third battle proper this afternoon

not bad at all

[soulza]

i have lasso   need a goos engine config and a screen of your lasso settings please

 

ahh!!!!!!!

i re configed my engine_settings.xml and tweaked a few things , ran lasso in samsung high performance mode ( i think i see this due to samsung SSD) mode and here are results , this was a battle i just played without the tweaks and like i said fps dip for a second or two

you can see below down to 16 fps i think this is multi sounds loading at the same time , so i increased the settings to load sounds to memory instead of coming off the SSD

   <memoryManager>
     <defaultPool>    40    </defaultPool>
     <lowEnginePool>    32    </lowEnginePool>
     <preparedPool>    316    </preparedPool>
     <streamingPool>    16    </streamingPool>
     <IOPoolSize>    24    </IOPoolSize>
    </memoryManager>

Results are stunningly good  no FPS drop off

Gentlemen this forum post if you have read it goes through step by step how to maximise what you have to get the best out of your system, if you THINK you should be pulling more FPS you probably should be

dont just settle for the results experiment and ask for advice like i have

ok been working again this evening and have to work tomorow evening , so not getting much free time since i bought the gcard , will have plenty of time come sunday to fully run tests.

so first test i have just run on a replay from when i had my R7 260 installed , note i have no mods running at this time so this is the native game client.

the battles average out from 80 ish frames per second in arcade mode with medium to high settings as seen below.

click on images for full screen size.

In sniper mode I get the expected gain and fps are up to 120 ish.

so i know that the card and drivers are working as it should be , i now need to start adding mods to see where i end up

i did note this morning when playing a few battles with all mods that i use installed i was running at a very good 60 fps even higher in places but seldom below 60fps , but on  occasions the frames would drop suddenly to 15 FPS only for a second or two , i have a feeling that its to do with sound events as it seemed to be happening when i had multi sound events happening at the same time , i need to confirm this , will report back
