Re: Splinter Cell 1 ShadowBufferMode shadows

How did you get those results? What fix exists now? http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=517631#p517631 Just tried and YEAUH! It is cool to see Splinter Cell work as intended in 1080p with antialiasing and anistropic filtering cranked up to absurd degrees. Also having the PS3 textures makes it …

When I mean strange, I mean when combat occurred on my end the game would slow down, not lag or stutter, literally slow down like bullet time in Max Payne. Perhaps you set com_fixedTic to 1? This is with that option on, even with it off that causes problems in other ways like odd stuttering on my …

Strange how? I haven't tried SMAA. Do you find it looks better than Doom 3's native x4 AA? The driver I'm using is something like 347.xx (not on that computer right now to check), on WinXP. BTW, a reference point with a 2004-era graphics card from AnandTech... GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme (silly name …

Been a while since I posted, been in a Duke Nukem kick as of late playing II, Manhattan Project, and Forever and enjoying the heck out of them. Manhattan Project, in retrospect, wasn't half as bad as they used to say after its release. The fact that DN3D was already long in the tooth, together with …

Not sure if it is a driver issue but I had strange performance issues with using in game AA on a system with a GTX 770. My only solution for running the game at a smooth 60 FPS with AA is to use SweetFX 2.0 and use the SMAA option. It is not a perfect AA solution but it is better than nothing. Same …

WineD3D Fix? Yes, it costs a bit of performance.....but nothing dramatic for today GPUs. Eh, on a 4790k + 1070 while framerate is generally good (lowest is 75), there are nasty short freezes that aren't there when running native DX. AMD users might be luckier. I tried it on an i7 with a GTX 660 and …

Re: Anyone else collecting cassettes?

Posted on 2016-07-22, 20:04

After seeing Techmoan's video on cassette tapes, I have picked up a renewed interest in the format despite its flaws. Ended up getting a Sony TC-WR645S deck with the almighty Dolby S noise reduction on eBay and while it is not a Nakimichi Dragon, it still packs a solid punch. I know tapes are crap …

Re: Lost interest in new games since a couple of years...

I'm 23 going on 24 and I feel the same way as a lot of you here. Seriously, the AAA mainstream scene has gone down the toilet if you ask me. I know I am getting older but even then, there must be something wrong when a guy my age is having issues with the industry as of late that is more than …

Re: What do you drive?

A 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX. Scored this first car of mine for 4,000 USD with only 48,000 miles on it initially and a practically brand new engine. That era of Thunderbirds (I guess they're called "MN12") are great cars. We've had a few of them in the family, but they're all gone now. Keep an eye on …

Re: Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow

While this is a thread for Pandora Tomorrow, I wanted to post this discovery with the original game. Recently the new version of dgvoodoo2 came out and one of the features it boasts is support for DirectX8 games, so I decided to try it with the original game and it is SO close to running Splinter …

Re: Retro City Rampage 486

Posted on 2015-08-11, 04:16

Despite the reference based humor I really liked this game very much since it is a 2D GTA clone that is much more playable compared to the older ones. :P The DOS port is very welcome since it is a section of gaming that goes a bit unnoticed by many people and seeing this happen is just nothing but …

Re: What game are you playing now?

As of late been playing Grand Theft Auto V and I am really enjoying the game, and it is incredibly well optimized. A massive step over Grand Theft Auto IV in that regard, glad to be able to crank up the settings to high and very high without the framerate dipping to unplayable levels. As soon as I …

Re: Bizarre Issue With Tyrian and Jazz Jackrabbit On My DOS Machine

in DOS
Are you using DOS 6.x or 7.1? I'd give 7.1 a try if you didn't already. Comes with sound drivers for quite some cards, add-ons (such as Volkov Commander, although I like Norton's better, maybe because I used it for almost 10 years). DOS 6.22 actually, but again, going to try and give it better …

I know this is a old topic, but since I've been surprised by the same problem on one of my old machines I investigated it and found out that Tyrian/Tyrian 2000 seems to have this behavior when you hame EMM386 with NOEMS in your config.sys. Found that out with the selective startup (F8). This …
