Re: Poor performance in Milo the Fuel Run?

Messing with it some more, it seems Max at around 90% with Normal CPU Core is the best it can be. It seems like maybe it's performing better on average than the Intel i7 920 but the performance is more inconsistent which makes it feel worse. I also discovered that the OpenGL and Surface modes are …

Poor performance in Milo the Fuel Run?

With CPU Cycles set to any fixed value, Max or Auto the performance in this game is wildly inconsistent. I figured upgrading from an Intel i7 920 to a Ryzen 3700X would help but... nope the behaviour remains completely unchanged. Increasing CPU cycles slows down the music while having no impact on …

Re: XF5700 MANTIS Experimental Fighter

We just happened to have acquired it, with the box and it seemed pretty old so I thought I'd ask if someone needed it for something important. Like if it could help reverse engineer something or some such. If the game is readily available online we'll just toss it.

Re: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun & Firestorm

Turns out this is the best one for Tiberian Sun (got directed to it after mentioning the camera issue on the github for the other one): http://downloads.cncnet.org/TSpatch.exe Context: https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/issues/26 https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/2606-tiberian-sun-patches-fix-for-the …

Re: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun & Firestorm

I'm hoping you are aware of cnc-ddraw? https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases It's what you should be using to play the C&C games. Even if dgVoodoo gets perfect performance and compatibility with the C&C games. How do you fix the camera panning speed when using that software? It's overall too …

Re: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun & Firestorm

Looks like things have changed since I last looked for a solution to getting the games working. Previously there was a Wrapper that'd fix the menus but had no option to stop the game from using VRAM (so performance was slow), and a wrapper that could fix the performance but didn't fix the graphics ( …

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun & Firestorm

Certain effects aren't rendered in this game and its expansion pack, most notably try clicking Options or New Game on the Main Menu and you'll notice the game loads a menu but you can't see it which makes it very difficult to begin gameplay or configure the options (you can press Enter after …

How do I view a list of my topics? I seemingly can only view a list of my posts... also the button to view Your Posts lists topics you've poted in rather than your posts so how are you supposed to use that to find your posts?

Re: New forum suggestions/Feedback

in Milliways
It would be nice if all the buttons (page navigation, Creative Commons button, Report button, Quote button, Return to Top button, Your Posts, New Posts, Active Topics etc. etc.)... were rectangular instead of rounded. Also replace the Login button with something other than a Power symbol. The Old …

Re: Welcome to the updated VOGONS

I'm sure this was already asked but... why did you decide to go to a totally new forum software instead of just updating to the latest PHPBB which'd presumably addresses most/all of the issues while keeping things much more familiar?

Re: WIP versions

The more compatible the DirectX Team can make the O/S with old games, the better. Keep pressing them to implement the compatibility fix even if you end up not taking advantage of it.

Re: WIP versions

In the games EXE file properties, make sure the "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations" compatibility option is enabled, otherwise the game will use a hybrid display mode instead of proper Fullscreen Exclusive display mode.

Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11

If the game uses Safedisc or SecuROM DRM and you're using Windows 10 than the DRM won't work and the game will either show an error message or crash. In this case the only solution is to install a crack for the game to remove the DRM. A good example of this is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006. Microsoft …

Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11

It's a hostile Option A >.>" "<.< The GUI is useful because it has explanations for a lot of the settings where as the plain text file does not (it suggests you use the GUI to understand the settings). What was suggested to me to fix the mouse input for the game requires me to do something not …
