[hlcoders] HL2MP, DODS, CSS engine

[hlcoders] Poor performance
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Started playing some Portal this morning, and noticed that performance is absolutely abysmal for me. From my experience with modding I checked the budget graph to see what the heck was killing the framerate, and like some of the users of our mod(FF), who have also upgraded to the latest nvidia drivers(which claim to improve TF2 performance), it destroys the performance in other HL2 based games. The +showbudget graph shows swap buffers and CViewRender::Render pegged when the game runs like ass, which is about 70% of the time for me in portal. The rest of the time the game runs fine. Some users of Fortress Forever have reported this same problem after upgrading their drivers for TF2 and then trying to come back and play FF,and even HL2DM and CS:S http://www.omni-bot.com/_misc/testchmb_a_01.jpg I've not observed this issue in other games using these drivers yet, but I wanted to bring this to Valves attention in case some change in TF2 that these drivers take advantage of could be adversely effecting older HL2 engine games or something like that Jeremy -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I HATE the way nVidia tunes their drivers for specific games. On some (of the more popular) cards, you see improvement, but on other nVidia cards, you actually get worse performance. This can be corrected for most games by simply renaming the .exe excutable to something else (and the driver won't recognize that game and won't tune things for that game and will just use generic settings). ATI rules. Nvidia, not so much. :) -- Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] HL2MP, DODS, CSS engine
Does anyone know when / if Valve is ever going to fix the Linux server chat being broken in HL2DM?!? Last time they broke it, they pushed a fix a couple days later, I think it's been about 6 weeks now, and no fix for this very basic functionality. This bug has completely killed our traffic. We put an Event Script in place to restore basic chat, but this does nothing to fix the Mani commands, rank, motd, stats, etc... None of these work anymore. Although from what I understand all the plugins are going to break soon anyway. I was hoping todays release might have a patch for poor ol' HL2DM. But it looks like the weeks of waiting and hoping was for naught. Bummed. :( Mike Durand wrote: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yes.
