Greetings!

After a hectic semestre in university, I finally have some spare time to play my favourite game again. Last time I played competitively was in April, and the game was running smooth as ice on 3v3 games, even with incendiary barrages, rocket artillery and burning wrecks from doomed vehicles. Now after updating my drivers and the game itself, I get the message saying that my game might be lagging behind because of too high settings. This is false, as I have the exact same settings as I used back then.

I tried to run the game in 8 bit colors (through the properties of the launch file found in the steam apps) to see if it had any effect but, in-game I noticed it was not using this.

Is there anything I should know about this setting?
... and is there anything else I can do to make the game running better?

PS: I know about the replay recording issues, and I have promptly disabled it before playing.

I forgot to mention that the application is running fine according to the task manager.

Hi,
initially I made a skinpack just for the OKW Panther, but I wanted to add skins for the other medium vehicles for this faction into the same skin pack. Since I used the method explained in the Relic wiki, I don't know how to implement the skins manually. What I did was create the filepaths according to the Archive Viewer and burning the folders containing the skins (in .tga) accordingly. I then added burn options for these, and they should be converted to .rgt format.

When I proceed to build the mod, I get the error message "Burn failed with exit code 4".

The curious bit is that I can still use the skin pack in-game, but only the original skin for the Panther works as intended.

Any pointers or ideas?

Thank you so much for this extensive reply!
First off, how do you make the images that you use here?

And onto your pointers:

House A in image 1 is a visual object with impass around it and has no utility in-game, but I realized that it has no LOS-blocking, so I will update that. The house will remain where it is.

I have now moved the base bunkers to roughly the positions you suggested.


I figured I'd leave the cemetery largely as it is. I only made the entry points slightly larger to allow light vehicles access, and added a destroyed fence near your suggested spot.



The thing with this area is, that there was very little vegetation during the days of the war. Practically all trees were planted by the people living there, and this makes it hard to create a realistic map, that is also good for gameplay. The area around the municipal house (north munition point) had no such thing. I will however experiment a bit with this area because I realized early that it would be a difficuly area to play.


I adjusted the openings in the stone walls to better fit light vehicles. I added some destroyed walls where you suggested, and added a crashed tank. I have to say it looked amazing. But as long stonewalls are a trademark for this area, I decided to keep them largely untouched.

I am not sure that I understand how to make use of the VIS object only. I tried several different objects, but they just turned into "ghost" items. I could send units through them, as intended, they cast shadows and looked nice and all, but they also gave up the ability to block fire and LOS.

Clearly, this is a usefull thing for creating special things for example a bunker entrance, but in this case, sadly it's useless.
