Un message important de Winding Man

Pour tous les ATI users je vous conseille de lire ça

"With some recent experiments we have been doing it appears that some of the config tweaks that are recommended in the Read.me docs are not suitable for ATI and or possibly some CPUs - we are unsure of all the scenarios that may present but this is the gist of the results we found last night.




These are the read.me tweaks that SHOULD NOT BE DONE BY ATI USERS:


************************************************** **************

Recommended Override settings that may improve FPS and smoothness:

Navigate via:

File, Custom Settings, Window, Overrides.

Select:

Disable Write-Only Vertex Buffers
Disable Write-Only Index Buffers



************************************************** **************




At the very least all ATI users should navigate to:

C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Data\Microsoft\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

and rename their

configoverrides.xml file to oldconfigoverrides.xml.


Then run the Config application and set up the sliders and the screen res afresh.

Even Nvidia users should try this and compare....





Finally all users (ATI or Nvidia) can safely apply the following read.me tweaks:

Recommended Override settings:

Navigate via:

File, Custom Settings, Window, Overrides.

Select:

Disable Intro Movie
High Resolution Z buffer (deselect Dual Pass Render)
Terrain Detail Texture
Disable Validate Device

Un autre point de vigilance CFS3 : les CPU dual core.

Le soft a tendance à planter assez facilement en dual core.

Les contre-mesures testées et qui marchent :
- après lancement du jeu, passer en CPU affinity sur un seul processeur (j'utilise le #1 et je décoche le #0) sur CFS3.exe et le fichier .tmp qui va avec.

- préférer les résolutions >= 1280*1024 en 32 bits : cela décharge le processeur et fait plus travailler la carte graphique.

Pour l'avenir : des "rumeurs" (à confimer) laissent entendre que pour le SDK, M$ améliorera la compatibilité sur une base FSX...
Si c'est confirmé, ce sera jackpot pour les évolutions futures.
