ATI Users...worth a try

[Parky]

A tweak we discovered that addressed the stutters in P2. Might be of some use to those suffering issues in P3.

You don't need a checkmark in the targeting cone section or intro movie section. Those were just personal preferences of mine. Do try shoving a checkmark in ALL index and vertex buffer sections (4 in total) and shove one in the Z-buffer as well.

You can also try running without a checkmark in Z-buffer. It seemed to work wonders on my ATI X1950XTX.

No promises gents......but at this point, anything should be worth a try.


Cheers,

I knew it had to be 'Lurking' somewhere :ernae:

Well, I found out that with my Nvidia 9800GTX the 'Disable Write-Only Vertex-Buffers' and 'Disable Write-Only Index' buffers need to remain unchecked or else the trees and houses would flash (switch on and off) like mad.

I know this is about ATI cards but I think it should be noted somewhere that graphics settings are very dependent on hardware.

I have used this tweak since P2 and it was one of the first things I set up on P3. It's amazing how much it helps.

I've had the best luck with this:
