Re: The Esarai Awesome Computer Challenge
I just finished building my new PC which is *sweet* - i7 is a really rather fast chip!

But yeah I also cant get it to load :(

Well, you could try playing Universal Truth in BP:AoA:DC with all features turned on and see if you get 60 FPS throughout the whole mission...

I managed to load it in PCS2, but it may take some time before I report how it runs in-game.
It even didn't lagged PCS2 as much as Maalik (if any of you still wonder why it got dropped, you can see the reason now, it was almost impossible to work on, both in-game and in PCS2).

Re: The Esarai Awesome Computer Challenge
PCS2 will work with it just fine but the game engine can't build a valid cache file out of it due to a mesh issue with at least the subobject I mentioned above.  It needs to be fixed in the modeling program and exported correctly to ever work in game.

Tried it with 3.6.12-Inferno on Linux.  Crashed both in the tech room and trying to load the mission.

I managed to keep about 30-40 throughout that one with the advance textures and all on an Athlon II X4 (2.8GHz) + 3.2GB DDR3 + 1GB nVidia GeForce 9400 GT.

If you have a good video card you can play most anything. Video cards are much more important to game performance than CPUs.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Except for FSO, where CPU performance has as more of an impact than GPU performance...

I'm running a Celeron dual core at 1.9 GHz and I still get 20+ fps on everything in FSO (including the BP missions, although I didn't run it with the FPS counter so I don't know for sure, but it was very very smooth throughout), running mv_advanced with everything turned on. Amazing what low end can do these days.

Ladies and Gentlemen, a while ago I set about adding an insane level of detail to my Horizon-class Battleship.

:blah:

That is one of the most sexiest ships I have ever seen...

Can't wait for more screenies.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

K. I just tried to load that big momma up, and no luck. Not even at LOD3. Guess we'll just have to wait for a fix...

Re: The Esarai Awesome Computer Challenge
I think it hits an engine limitation moreso than a hardware limitation.
I can view it just fine in PCS2.

Re: The Esarai Awesome Computer Challenge
Sorry for the delays guys, but the current rate of progress suggests this will be ready sometime in June.  Until then, have fun blowing stuff up.
