but im still stuck with mfc42.dll...
what windows version is minimum for fso?

[karajorma]

It should work on anything that ran FS2. I've heard tales of people fixing this problem by downloading the dll and installing it.

You should use EFFs for the effects that cause slowdowns on low-end systems. (Like particle_smoke* and the shockwave.)

As format you should use DDS DXT1. They should not only be smaller and disburden the CPU (DDS can be loaded directly into gfx ram, without any CPU work), but also make better colors possibe.

Positiv: Better performance, lower memory usage, more colors possible.

Negative: Decreased image quality caused by the compression, problems with OpenGL (almighty taylor is working on it ).

Try a google search. It's amazing what you can find.

-EFF Shockwave-
Here it is the final version for low-end PCs.


92 frames, DDS DXT5, 5,7 MB in-game memory usage. (0,4MB compressed DL size)
->Download<-

Note: It has the same res as the stock shockwave. But the colors and the performance should be better.

Half filesize animated glowmap: Basilisk

EFF DDS for better performance.

Super-low-end shockwave EFF.


It looks almost exactly like the low-end version, but uses only 2 MB of your memory.

You should consider to replace the low-end effect with this one, as even I can't see the difference in quality for this effect.

Download

Note: Your card has to support S3TC for this effect.
