Gentlemen, this is an atrocity:
(http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/3291/screen0055.png)
Now I have it on good authority that at least one of our members is forced to play like this. And I have to ask, why does FreeSpace Open allow torture? Why are we enabling the degradation and punishment of our fellow human beings?
-
Texture issue, not engine. We need to remove mipmaps from the skybox textures, and the user needs to disable -mipmap.
-
wait, is that orion cloaked?
-
I think he means HT's skybox mangled by FSO background detail level settings.
Notice that, despite detail level reduction, FPS still sucks.
I guess it's a good ilustration why we should optimize Karuna as fast as possible (though new Antipodes would most likely help too).
-
What I want to know is who did this, and what GPU is this running on?
-
I'm not actually requesting any changes, I just wanted to post this so people can boggle at what some folks put up with. :(
It's MattheGeek's.
-
He's using an intelgrated GPU, 'nuff said.
-
/me throws up a bit in his mouth
-

If so its doing a horrible job.
-
That looks bad, poor Mat :(
-
And he doesn't turn up the settings because...?
I don't think the options menu is to blame.
Rather, it's the ****ty hardware. (and the Karuna)
-
So, would you actually be able to call that a sky box?
-

wow do you think
-
yes i do think
-
Wow, even my powerful NVidia GeForce II, 1.5GHz P4 computer makes FSO look better than that...although mine doesn't use those settings, mission, background, etc. :)
-
Reminds me of the loading screen of the Lost Viking minigame in SC2.
Space retro! All we need is an outline shader like the one in Borderlands!
-
And he doesn't turn up the settings because...?
I don't know... maybe because when I do, I drop back below 5 fps ?
And yeah this is using antipode 6. Which made be go above 5 fps for the first time on this mission in full screen.
-
:eek:
Make it go away! Make it go away!
-
****ing seriously.
It's preferable that the game does not boot up at all, than to actually make it through the loading screen and see that.

Uhh, Hades, I use an Intel GMA X3100 and I don't get this at all (because I conveniently forgot to turn down in-game settings because I know it made BP:AoA a living hell for me).

Learn to play at below 5 FPS until you get a better framerate then. That's what I've been doing for the past two years.

You sir, are a legend.

I don't know how any gamer could live with buying a machine with an integrated graphics card in the first place. Hell, even my old puny Radeon X300 was a huge step up from that, and my sub-$100 HD4670 knocks FS2_Open out of the park.

$50: HD4650. 'Nuff said. (If there's a PCIe x16 slot)

What part of "laptop" don't you understand ?

Basically, WiH is the only thing that makes me wish I had a better graphic card. I can run all of my other games, including things like HL2 Ep2 or Halo 2 PC like a charm or close. And the 3612 MVPs run flawlessly too.
If you follow my logic, the only thing that went wrong in my world was Steve-O.

Try an ExpressCard to PCI-E adapter. Even over a PCI-E x1 link, it's far superior to IGP (but requires an external display and costs MOAR).
BTW, when was laptop mentioned prior to my comment?
