Title: Dialogue Box Slowdown
Post by: sfried on March 06, 2005, 03:32:39 pm

Everytime a dialogue box (the one that promts you if you want to quit, return to briefing, or quickstart/ Exit FS2 or not), I encounter some EXTREEEEM slowdown that doesn't seem to be present with the retail build.

I suspect it's because of how the screen it's sitting on top of is rendered.

Bobb's rendet-to-texture stuff could be used to give a huge speedboost, methinks.

Where can I find it?

It's still in development.

What's the ETA for this patch, then? It's the only thing bugging me when running in D3D. I don't seem to encounter the same problem when running in OpenGL, but running it with AA can cause some tremendous slowdown for higher-end poly models like the Herc in the techroom alone...

I've been getting this dialog box slowdown since builds a few years ago, it's certainly nothing new. It's just a good job it hardly ever shows up.

Disable AA and the slowdown should be gone.

AA is already on D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONE....

Weird that.

And in your driver settings?

Thank you Overlord. I guess most of my hardware problems can be attributed to that.
