Title: Choppy game play
Post by: Cav117 on June 28, 2013, 04:45:09 pm

I just downloaded then re downloaded Diaspora. Everything I try I cannot get smooth frames. I've tried all the old tricks lowering graphics ect. wondering if anyone has a solution for this.

Post an fs2_open.log, I think there are instructions on where to find one stickied on this board (although I suspect this thread will be moved to the Diaspora support board soon).

Good you have ran the game in DEBUG. Now check in your Freespace2/data folder. There should be a file called as fs2open.log . Attach it.

You're playing in smaller resolution than 1024x768. Why are you playing in a smaller resolution than 1024x768 ?

How can you tell without a log? The warning posted has nothing to do with the chosen resolution.

Diaspora AFAIK does not have a 640x480 mainhall mask (can't be true as I have never played Diaspora myself). Hence the debugger is giving this error.
