Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Subject:
open a decal window, get choppiness
|
I have had this problem for sometime. On Sunday, I got so frustrated, I deleted my partition. I remade my partition, formatted it, installed windows, got everything in windows update, installed my platform drivers for nvidia, installed the latest driver from ATI, installed my network driver, got the latest directx end user runtime from Microsoft download center, installed AC, and finally installed Decal alpha 8. I get in-game, open the window for decal hotkey system, and I get the same damn problem. My framerate goes way down, and trees disappear. I haven't installed anything on my hard drive except what I've already mentioned. What could I have possibly messed up on?
I would have registered on the decal forum and posted this there, but I can't. It always tells me that I didn't type the letters in the picture correctly. They are so garbled, I don't see how anyone can get them right.
Here is the top section of my dxdiag information.

If it helps any, when I open any decal UI (Allinco for example) my framerate plummets too. Trees don't disappear but it definetly gets choppier. I just close the UI when I'm done setting options or whatever and no problemo.

I guess it feels good to not be alone. How long have you had the problem?
I'm surprised I'm getting the choppiness at all considering the horsepower of my video card.

It's a known problem with Decal. Has been for some time. This is why the decal devs are completely re-writing the system that displays the decal windows.
Right now, there's nothing you can do, except give preference to decal apps that display info on huds rather than windows, as huds don't slow things down as much.

Decal has been like that for me since I returned to the game a couple months ago. Its a bit annoying but not a huge deal. I'll be glad if they can fix it though. =)

yours is only when you open the window? consider yourself lucky..
