GUI bug & performance problem (TW 0.5)

[Stew2000]

I like the buggy.
A few problems though..
The menu system works fine but ingame it always gives me the Buggy with all ai and starts with La Falda.
And fps are very bad with this much going on in both opengl and d3d.
I've tried the 0.5 demo and updated SVN. has same effect.

Good feedback

The menu system works fine but ingame it always gives me the Buggy with all ai and starts with La Falda.

that's very strange...
every change is only saved in the configuration if you click "next". In some cases like for example:
you have 7 AI cars the first time you see player's GUI, you remove one AI then click on "Edit" in your player then click ok or cancel you will see again 7 AI instead of 6 because you didn't click "next".
Try playing with it, if you can explain the steps to reproduce the bug it will be very helpful.
Also (just in case), verify thunderwheels.cfg has read/write permissions....

And fps are very bad with this much going on in both opengl and d3d.
I've tried the 0.5 demo and updated SVN. has same effect.

hmm....
in this version you should see a performance boost of x2 or even more! but in some cars it could be run worse.
Could you please send me MachineInfo.txt & Ogre.log to know your hardware setup ? also, pleasy try changing shadows_type in thunderwheels.cfg to "stencil" instead of "texture" and see the FPS again?

thanks!

The config files have no 'read only' mark. that would of been my forst thought too.

[luis]

nothing wrong in Ogre.log, did you find machineInfo.txt?
I see:

Code: Select all

15:31:16: Render Target 'ThunderWheels Demo 0.5' Average FPS: 132.825 Best FPS: 186.508 Worst FPS: 0.132767

an average of 132 isn't that bad, are you using stencil shadows or texture?

[luis]

I'm seeing you're running the game at 800x600, try 1024x768 DX and 32bpp in full screen.....

[Stew2000]

To my mind the average was about 4fps.
I figured out the car and track select screen. I thought in race was the top box in the menu

I changed shadow to stencil and didn't make much difference.
The best my PC can handle with Open GL is max of 6 racing. D3d only 2 racing.
at 1024x768 windowed with no aa and vsync on.

All I really need now is a better PC.

hmm then our GUI isn't very clear... we'll change it in the next release..

well, an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 is quite old but try this:
OpenGL, 1024x768, no antialias, no VSync, full screen and texture shadows.

let me know if it runs better

[Stew2000]

Runs well with all 8 cars. my mind says at about 20fps.
Have you made an ingame fps meter yet?
Also might be a good option for disable dust.

yes, you can see the FPS press the key: 'o' (not zero, o like in 'loop')
let me know the FPS you get

there is no way to disable the dustrail, but you can minimize the performance hit by editing: media/particles/gboot.particle and change:

Code: Select all

GBoot/particle/dusttrail
{
   material       GBoot/material/dusttrail
   particle_width    0.6
   particle_height   0.6
   cull_each      false
   quota         10
   billboard_type   point


to this:

Code: Select all

GBoot/particle/dusttrail
{
   material       GBoot/material/dusttrail
   particle_width    0.01
   particle_height   0.01
   cull_each      false
   quota         1
   billboard_type   point

also let me know if you notice better performance (so we could add the option in the next version)....

thanks!

[Stew2000]

Changing the quota to 1 makes the menu crash on start up. changing the values to anything else doesn't make any or very little difference to fps.

With 8 cars using OpenGL, 1024x768 fullscreen and no settings. it averages 56fps.
D3d is around 66fps.

[Stew2000]

At 1680x1050 with only 2 cars, D3d averages 85fps.
Not too sure how that happened.

[luis]

well, then you'll be able to play
with FPS >= 60 physics simulation is optimal (simulation runs at 60 anyway but graphics match physics so everything runs smooth).
