Did any of you guys who got a clear, obvious improvent try the same thing with a deliberately broken setting? Something impossible like DepthBits=77, StencilBits=55?

If your hardware struggles with 24/8 then maybe it does not allow 32/16 at all, causing the game to fall back to something easier than 24/8 instead (and much easier than 32/16).

I got about 10-15x extra frames and a lot less stutter on a low end machine. Thanks for the tip!

I'M going with the "game defaulting to some easier setting " theory. As for the game being broke, we all know that already. It's a simple matter of Oleg's creative genius running way ahead of his organizational prowess for way too long. (IMHO) I have high hopes that Luther will fix it, but you can't dig out of a hole that took several years to get into overnight.

I think just that... And my "unedited" conf.ini has strange "spaces" between DepthBits=24, like DepthBits= (a lot of spaces) 24...

It's a mystery! The only thing I noticed ASAP is that the sun glare now is "normal", and beautifull, not the "all white" it used to be after the last beta patch. I still having issues with some corruption in fountains, injured "red vision" and stuff, but the sun glare now is great! I'll upload a video!

No, it's "normal"... When we got the "Steam Ghost Update", I have BIG gains in performance. And now after "something" the sun glare turns into this beauty:



I don't know if when we edit some configuration files some of the settings go back to "default", if we receive small updates through Steam... What I can say for sure is that here I have BIG performance gains after the "Steam Ghost Update" and now, after edited conf.ini "32/16 and back 24/8" my sun glare is nice!

Maybe CloD likes to me "rubbed"...

"Steam Ghost Update" what the heck is that?

Guys sorry but no other game forces you that try to change code left right and centre every other session try to to get it to run or more accurately not crash.

Face it, the game is still more broke than ever, nothing has changed in 6 months, so its slightly more playable than on release, but thats because we have better sounds coming slowly from someone who wasnt even part of their team.

I think its a real poor show. Sorry for being negative
