i play on 4k max w full path tracing and i get a solid 100fps

You need to calculate that AI, because stuff does happen when you're not looking at it. How complex those calculation should/must/are, I have no idea. An improvement however, it's a must.

***allaboard*** Yes, but it doesn't need to calculate every millimeter of movement or something like that. At least for singleplayer all it has to do is update their movement every few meters when they're far away. I'm not sure what the details are but it appears as though it calculates all the hitboxes and all the other physics and algorithms for far-away units when there's really no need for most of it. Thus the overall poor performance on the more open-world campaign maps with lots of AI around (like the Survive campaign) as opposed to the linear missions (the prologue missions e.g.). Essentially AI algorithms when they're not in vicinity need to be simplified greatly. And of course occlusion culling needs to be properly implemented as the video shows above.

+CodyDev Haha, nice one. It was just the music from the "radio". I concur, it should have been turned off.

***allaboard*** I don't mind as long as its not loud af

You need to increase view and objected draw distance (it's in meters, up to 12000m), plus object quality - or something like that, I don't remember the correct names. You can put view distance to around 3,5-4km and object view distance to around 2-2,5 km, with high object details. Of course, you'll need a quite high clocked, modern CPU (preferable an Intel as it has more horsepower/megahertz compered to AMD) and depending on that and the performance you're getting, you can increase or decrease the object draw distance - take note that object quality it's also part of how far some objects are rendered.

I think it was added through a DLC or something.

i dont have one in my fc2 is it used as a primary or heavy?

Mass Murder Don't know, it's some time since I've played it, but I think it's heavy.

thanks for the info :) i play all far cry games and gonna start wih 4 when it comes out

2500k@4.5GHz. 8GB RAM, 7950@1135/1600MHz. FPS @5040x1050, the standard resolution for 3x1050p is about 30fps or lower. It's not smooth enough to do any actual efficient dog fighting at the moment. 3840x800 on the other hand, which is the next step down, it's just fine at above 40fpsor so. Settings I think, are either medium or low. CPU can't handle the video card if I drop the resolution to a level where the video card can/should push above 60fps as I see the GPU usage dropping. Some more optimizations are needed...or a better six/next gen octa core CPU. The line is somewhere at the middle of the right screen and it's something specific to this game. I suppose it will be fixed in the future. Only recently they've added in menu 5040x1050 option, before it was for 3x1080p if I remember correctly. I record with MSI Afterburner and takes quite a bit of a hit in performance 'cause it's doing all on the CPU . Size is aprox. 25,82s/GB in Star Citizen, but in ArmA 3 it takes about 15s/GB and stutters. Can't tell you about Shadow Play if it handles this type of resolutions. GVR (AMD equivalent), doesn't do it as well, but it can record @1080 while maintaining the aspect ratio, however the imagine as you can imagine, is quite a bit pixelated. Overall, space I would say it's the least of your concerns, but rather a capture card, hardware or software capable of such high resolutions. ie. 1080p is about 2,07MPx, while 3x1050p is 5,29MPx.

Lower object distance and quality. With full 12km for object distance and ultra quality, I don't think there is system capable of that @60fps, especially on Altis, the big map. This is Strats. Performance difference between them is huge. Without DX12/Mantle and 64bit .exe for the game, I don't see how we'll be able to run this game at max settings. Also keep in mind that was Alpha, not the finished game runs better.

Will give it a try within the next days. How's the software you're using, have you tried it on other games as well, such as ArmA?

Thanks!

I don't know about Cry Engine, but yes, at the moment 12 kilometers is the view distance in ArmA 3. However, ArmA needs very detailed grounds while Star Citizen does not. It will be up to them to figure all out, since there isn't one engine that can all they want to do.

you know Arma doesn't run on cryengine, right ?

Yup, same old, relative "crappy" engine. :)

workofakiller I was talking to Karu actually, he seem to think that Arma runs on cry engine :/

Inexorable l Yup, just saw that, sorry. Not used to YT comment system. :D
