Don't park on ice.
COH2 is meant to be realistic after all! |
Would this work in CoH1 ?
Could some players have an advantage coz of 4k or ultra wide reso ? o.O
If your aspect ratio is the same (4k is double 1080 in both height and width) then you are simply going to see the same image but in a higher resolution. So there's no advantage, but the game looks sexy as hell because you'll get much greater detail in a similar space. This game has a lot of sexy bump mapping and stuff. |
Well, I'd rather find a solution, then let the game freeze again.
I'm aware you were rage posting initially, but my post told you exactly how to start doing that. |
Is this just me? My hardware is new, fiber optic cables for amazing internet connection, and the game fucking freezes every now and then in the middle of games. Pisses me off, and ruins my experience (as well as my stats). Is this that optimization every one is talking about? This is absolutely infuriating, jesus. Fix your game Relic.
Enable an FPS counter (Steam, FRAPS, etc). If the FPS drops while the lag happens, it's a hardware/game engine issue. If your FPS remains stable, it's an Internet connection issue (at any point between you and the Battle server). |
Ive actually used your guide before making this post but couldnt decide on the GPU. I dont want to rely on the numbers too much(the benchmark numbers, not yours  ). Prefer to hear peoples experience like your post now.
Yeah, I totally get that. My guide doesn't really focus too much on what specific bits of hardware to buy. The market is just too complex and constantly changing. It's easier to just give people an idea of what features or general areas to look for.
In this case I was mostly referring to using GPU-Z or Process Explorer if you want to get an understanding of how your current GPU is performing. |

That's a pretty good CPU, so your old GPU is almost certainly your bottleneck. Check out section 3.4 in my guide below if you want to confirm it.
I have a GTX770 and, like most people with a relatively modern mid-range plus card, my CPU is the limiting factor (due to the game engine's poor code). My GPU doesn't use anywhere near all of its power. Most games are the other way around. They use some of the CPU, and then all of the GPU as they pump out as many frames as possible.
So don't feel pressured to get a high-end video card just for this game. It will almost certainly be wasted on this game due to the bizarre way that it depends on CPU but also fails to use much of it.
Nvidia cards tend to be more expensive, but use less power (if your bills are an issue) and have less problems.
ATI cards are cheaper and simpler, but try to make up on performance by using more electricity and generating more heat. I also had lots of weird problems with my last ATI card.
Either way, try to get one with 4GB of VRAM. |

Thanks for the compiled notes in the Dropbox link. Made it much easier to understand the mod as a whole. Putting them into spoiler tags near the top of your first post might make them more accessible to people passing through though.
Looking at Blobbing
Just as a side musing: It's hard to go a day without someone complaining about blobbing on this site. Have you considered any methods of improving that situation? One though that came to my mind is some sort of debuff based on proximity to other squads.
Example: Increase received accuracy by 10% for every friendly squad within 10 units of distance.
Thematic justification: The larger the number of infantry in the general firing direction, the more likely stray bullets are to hit someone. This would be particularly likely if a blob is trying to run at an HMG.
Increased suppression may also be a viable avenue to explore. Few things are more frustrating than a blob of LMGs running up and decrewing your HMG crew head on (although a big part of that is the formations in the main game putting the gunner at the front). |

People certainly get worked up about war spoils in a way I can't really understand. Still, some sort of mechanic for upgrading dupes into your choice of an alternative (based on a value system) is all it really *needs*. Something similar to the trade-up contract in CS:GO. Anything else would be nice, but not really that important. |
I compstomped like crazy 24h a day now with script..does not help a bit
Wow, is electricity free where you come from? |
Thanks, exactly what i've been looking for.
Is there a way to make alt tab still work though? ;p alt tabbing isn't possible anymore with this script active.
But thanks !
I recommend trying alt + enter. It puts the game into windowed mode, which I find much more responsive and Windows-friendly than alt + tab. |
