(ATI) Remove intro video => +10 FPS in game

[Bryan21cag]

Rig is listed below. I had to disable the splash screen as well and as soon as i did got a giant improvement even after current patch.

But I am still not able to run it in 1920 x 1080 mode yet without big performance hits. Not sure if this is due to the Crossfire or just the fact that i only have the two 1GB cards.

Hi again Orpheus

I typed my original replies from my office. I enjoy the game and given the childish going ons at several CloD forums lately I really did not want to appear as being flippant or offending to you by not wanting to bother with doing more tests...so, Icouldn't help myself and now that I am home, here are some numbers for you

I used the monitor and log function in MSI Afterburner .... If I tried to take a screen shot with MSI, it did not include the onscreen monitor for some reason but I will cut and paste from the spreadsheet I exported the log to,
Hopefully it shows up ok in this format;

The first set of numbers I just cut and pasted the figures when flying. The second set of number include immediately before and after flight (when in the menus as I entered and exited the game - the GPU clocks seem to clock down during the menus).

Yes, I know it is a cut and paste from a spreadsheet instead of a screenshot...yes, I know I could have simply typed these all out to be a trouble maker. My previous posts on this board hopefully show I am not here to waste anyone's time...these numbers are accurate on my system.

So that suggests to me the Ubi logo still has an effect on GPU clocks, for my system at least.

Cheers mate

[albx]

I can confirm also the problem is still there, so Orpheus, For the millionth time, this is (in ALL THE CASES) STILL NECESSARY.

[Doc_uk]

Just delete it, Because its rubbish, and i dont need rubbish on my computer

[JG52Uther]

I don't need to see UBI laughing at me when I start CoD.Even if it GAVE me 10FPS, I would still delete it

[David198502]

5570 here and i gain 15fps with deleting the ubi logo!!!
so orpheus you are wrong on that.

[roadczar]

I must admit. I thought this was just a bunch of whiner baloney so I run a test.
Dusted off the game after couple of weeks (not playing it until fixed) and run couple of tests using a portion of The Black Death.trk.

Results:
With logo current: 50, average: 44, maximum: 64, minimum: 7
Without logo current: 55, average: 51, maximum: 69, minimum: 10

All max @ 5760 x 1080
Another blatant bug resolved by the community and ignored by developers.

Reported!

That's great, thanks mate. Quite happy to believe you now, especially as a few others have popped up still experiencing it as well. Just surprised to find that this is still a problem - as I say, for me the issue was solved around the second patch, so something even stranger is going on. Before I was under the impression that it was all ATI cards doing this; now it seems some do and some don't. I might have a look myself this afternoon and see if I can replicate the original error I had, or at least figure out why I don't get it now!

I'm also at the very edge of my patience for testing so I know exactly how you feel Appreciate you taking the time to confirm it, and apologies if I came across as snotty - just didn't want to see the bug issues flooded with 'false positives' as it were. Those of us who've been here from release have had quite the time of it and proper bug tracking is the hardest part, both for us and the Maddox team.

I removed splash screen intro as per instructions(BTW:Thanks!) & I think I got better FPS as well .I say "think " because I haven't got FRAPs to work with CloD and don't know how to get an FPS indicator to work in game.
Gameplay does seem better really better , but my shooting is still 'orrible!

For in-game fps, bring up the console and type FPS SHOW START. To hide it, type FPS HIDE STOP.
