ATI blue stripes

[RocketDog]

Grrrr.... my 6970/Cat 11.4 gives me the blue lines with land shading on high. I'm going to have to try as many different combinations of CCC and game settings as I can and see if I can get rid of them.

Thanks for all the effort, Gunny. I am about to upgrade my card to a 6950/6970, but am a bit concerned about the reported errors that 5xxx users don’t seem to have. But these hopefully should be sorted soon. Responding to a query from a Radeon user regarding support for the 6xxx series cards, luthier confirmed that the lead developer uses a Radeon (didn’t say which, I would assume a 69XX: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...679#post257679 ), so they should be well aware of the current issues.

Another strange issue is the use of MFAA – this should have a minimal effect on performance, but it has just the opposite, as GOZR says. I have left my CCC settings standard, rather tweaking the in-game settings which I found I could increase a little further after the previous beta patch (see attached). I find that the game runs rather fluidly with insufficient hiccups to detract from the experience.

I tend to run the Black Death track only once, and exit the game to avoid caching before each run. This way it runs an almost identical score each time, which is at least comparable. The fps recorded with my settings are 41, 93, 10 (avg, max, min) using the in-game display (not exactly scientific I know, but repeatable).

Cheers, Tony.

As someone pointed out to me in another thread - looks like they found the source of the HD6000 series "underclocking".

Ironically it's associated with the UBI animation at the beginning of the non-Russian version. Basically there are instructions around to tell you how to disable the animation which will restore an HD6000 series to life.

You just delete it

I upgraded from a GTX285 to a 6970 specifically for this sim and wish I hadn't. CloD has significant and annoying artefacts even with the latest drivers (specifically, the blue stripes on the horizon). Given the vast amount of work they have to do on various other aspects of the game I am not confident this will get fixed in the near future. My advice would be to buy a GTX570 or 580 instead. I guess it depends on how much confidence you have in the 1C team and how long you are prepared to wait. My own confidence in them has largely faded away. However, on the plus side, the 6970 runs RoF very well.
