    My log is from a game server (dedicated) running the console server.exe

    A bug tracker / central place for reports would have been good; scattered over forums/getsatisfaction w/o acknowledgement etc is not very enticing to submit reports in the future since its not worth the effort heh :)

    - Alien Armor upgrade 2 is upgrade 3 and upgrade 3 is upgrade 2, so you need 3 hives to research armor 2 and 3.
    - Lots of props and textures are gone. (Tram, i dont care bout the other maps atm)
    - Shadow or texture problem - ya know.
    - Skulks should be faster then marines, marines can outrun them with sprint - and are as fast as them without.
    - Black Armor is hard to see, i want my alien flashlight back.
    - Sound loops, double sound, footsteps etc.
    - Stutter/rubber-banding, huge fps drops at some places (f<u><b>ps for the comms is still really bad</b></u>)
    - Hotkeys, pressing "B" as alien com doesnt work. it jumps back.
    - Research/Progressbars are missing for alien structures.
    - Scaling Slider for the UI would be nice, or fully adjustable?
    - Cant build more then 1 structure with multiple builders selected, so i have to select them manually one after another. (aliiens)
    - A Rallypoint flag would be nice, so u have feedback that u changed your rally point and not just clicked somewhere.
    - Hotkey for idle builders ?
    - Playername isnt updated from steam, so i had to change it via console.
    - Minimap is still moving a little bit up and down(jitter) (Tram, as i said i dont care about the other maps atm)
    - Minimap viewpoint after clicking is changing position. it jumps somewhere else.
    - dunno if your artist is on vacation, or a new ui is coming but the ui isn't getting better and has still A LOT TEXT instead of icons.
    - TAB through units in a group is missing. -> select a group of builders and then press tab to select a single one of them, again to select another etc....
    - Shift + build -> "ghost" structures are missing (the whole shift + build stuff doesnt work right, if u got more than one builders selected)
    - if you right click on the map some lights are flashing for the marine commander, its the little corridor before double res after u go down from alien hive 2.
    - autocast would be nice on some structures, => autoumbra if something shoots at alien structures or players next to a crag
    - the ip is closing after being attacked and reopens a sec after it, is it a turtle?


    and a lot more, but thats it for today.

    Thanks Sgt. The issue is gone on medium.

    I commented out a lot of Update() method's body (when possible) and saw some FPS increase; but overall it was still pretty similar or clunky on a local LAN server with just me.

    I notice I usually have poor performance when the console (in client or server) is being spammed with log lines about nil values / invalid method calls etc; perhaps thats a source of performance problems too when the game starts to progress.

    Really wish for the day its as smooth as silk though to play; it will be so much more fun. I get glimpses of the game being fun but when the lag starts its all down hill :)

    Minimap is kinda quirky still, seems to move around a bit.

    It's supposedly going to be an upgrade researched on the Whip which is not implemented in the current build.
  • PlasmaPlasma Join Date: 2003-04-26 Member: 15855Members, Constellation, Squad Five Blue
    I wonder if there is lag due to disk logs being written (is fsync being used?) on the server and/or client that is degrading performance?

    What happens if you run on high while running the game in Compatability mode with WinXP SP3?

    You are right about the 'quality' settings.

    I can't run above 'awful' setting, but then I do have a 128mb card. Lowering this solves the black screen it seems.

    My framerate improved noticeably. It seems to maybe have gone slightly backward as far as overall performance (server or networking?) though. It was running kinda bad last night with just 4 people in the game (2 in RR) and ended up crashing but when the server was dying my framerate stayed fairly smooth. I haven't used Fraps with it yet, so I didn't catch what my actual fps was. It was high enough to reliably track marines/skulks while playing as the other team though (when the server wasn't stuttering, anyway).

    Also, maybe it's just me, but does the game look better now? I don't know what it is, but I don't remember it looking quite as good as it does now.

    Using...
    Radeon 5770
    Intel Core i5 2.8Ghz
    4GB DDR3

    I used to run SLI, I currently run one as a physics processor with no bridge connector, give that ago. Need some sort of confirmation its not something else rather than just an SLI problem. It realy should not be an issue as its supposed to be handled automaticaly by the Drivers.
    Also try altenrate Frame Rednering if its not already set to it, should be by default?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Still no luck... btw Fade Video looks nice, but think twice about rushing for Beta.. game not there yet.. don't feel like you have to make haste oon things..

    Since the patch, I've been having problems with missing/flickering textures on very specific points in the level. Changing graphics quality doesn't matter, reinstalled the game after deleting all its files didn't help. The glitches always happen in the same places.

    - Fade can blink into some vents. (that way its possible to get under the long tram tunnel(skulks will know what i mean), and blink out of there (bigger holes) - at some vent u can get out of the map too)
    - Observatory Scan isnt a circle(u know that i guess ^^), and builders try to construct them if u scan next to them.
    - The Obs got the same hit animation problem as the ip
    - The armory doesnt have a on hit animation
    - Dunno if distress becon works or not... maybe im too stupid.
    - Marine "B" Build Hotkey seems to have some problems too.
    - Quick Message stuff still circles to the weapon and back after u say one. *chuckles*
    - The flying bullets thing doesnt look right like in other games, for the lerk its ok.

    oh yeah i was wondering about the cracks in the eggs. i guess it was a bug after all.

    And this:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I've noticed that after one online connected game, I can't reconnect again if I disconnect, unless I restart the game.

    Also a bug: When you open menu, while gestating in an egg, and you are still in the options menu, when gestation completes - you cannot close the options menu unless you restart the game (console quit)

    Server randomly restarts - after a few minutes into any session (this was a 3M v 2A) - the game just restarted (on NS_Mineshaft(?)) - can't say why, but it happened about 3-4 times in 1hour.

    Loading the game takes up to 5 minutes, more if high level graphics are used - and then, it chugs at about 1 frame per 10 sec!
    GTx260+, 4GB Ram, 1.8GHz DUO, WinXP - Running at 800x600 at medium or 1024x728(ish?) at low = 30-50 fps depending on the room and what's happening in it (full-screen).

    Also, in 800x600 in windowed mode, the Server list ends off the window, instead of truncating correctly when it reaches the screen end.

    *I'll put my problems into feedback too. If anyone finds these bugs too. Haven't tested Marine side yet, but noticed that a lot of people had issues with aim, probably due to fps + display settings + mouse sensitivity settings.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I believe all of these problems are fixed in the next versions. Fingers crossed!
