2.0.3 feedback

[junk2drive]

The change log shows Fixed LOS issues. I tried Merr's Hetzer campaign. The unit description in the purchase screen is off the bottom of the white area.

I moved some hetzers around to check downhill LOS. It still isn't right to me. I tried to F2 for a screenshot and it doesn't work. I ctrl + LC for the info and it is off the panel at the bottom. Note the red arrows pointing to No LOS areas that I think should be in LOS. I can understand the area to the left side of the picture that is blocked by the hedge but not to the right.

Forum software chops off the pic. Right click and select View image to see full size.

There aren't any changes to the way LOS works, the fixes were related to the MP sync fixes that are part of this release. It is entirely possible it might introduce some edge cases unfortunately. But I want to get the crash fix for iPad out and I am out of the office after tomorrow for a while.

There isn't much I can do about the super long description in a user mod. I'm hoping to make the unit info stuff more fully featured in the next update, assuming I ever get this one done...

Thanks for the info though, I will use it going forward.

Cheers

I also found the game to be horribly slow. I left the default setup of full screen, enable sound, and low shadows.

[pipfromslitherine]

Slower than the normal version? That shouldn't be the case - it should in fact be considerably faster. Is this true in all missions? Is this also true in windowed mode (it might be that the optimisations are causing stalls when drivers cheat with how many frames ahead they run).

I tried the Normandy campaign with full screen off and shadows off and it was normal.

[pipfromslitherine]

So it was fine in windowed mode? Then it's definitely the driver cheating and causing problems.

You could try adding FORCEMIPMAP 1 to the user.txt file. It forces an update every frame which might (depending on the driver) know it back to updating correctly.

Installed 2.0.4, set to full screen, low shadows and enable sound. Played Merr's Hetzer, speed was normal. Maybe something in 2.0.3 was wrong. Did not add forcemipmap to text. I will if I notice a problem later.
