Title: soldat doesn't run smoothly
Post by: lin0s on March 19, 2015, 03:20:04 pm: hi everyone,
my soldat doesn't work smoothly (it's like fps drop or smth, but my fps are fine, 200-250 depends on map). I had same problem with prev version but then I just opened youtube on background and it was all great (even with 60/70 fps). Now even youtube can't handle this.

I was looking on forum for similar problems and dutchflame had same as me here: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=42451.0;wap2
His solution doesnt work for me, because I don't have any procces like dmw.exe in task menager.

Any ideas?

I've been told it's some compatibility problem between windows 7 and DirectX 8 or something like that, and that it would get solved in 1.7. I imagine the solution involves doing some non-trivial code porting so I guess it'll take a while.

Yea cheap solution... Soldat is worth investing!
But it's like the best and only way to get soldat as smooth as silk.
I am choosing the 2nd option which is experimenting with settings to get it smoother and more playable + waiting few decades for 1.7 to come.

Messing with theese settings will only get you so far though. And I doubt 1.7 will fix all problems, who said it would?

I think it will. I trust Shoozza on this.

Without youtube in the background soldat runs around 120 fps for me which is shit..compared to the 500/700 fps i should have, and yes it's definitely a huge amount of difference of the smoothness

I suggest you run youtube or a gif in the background anytime you play the game, atleast that works for me.. as for the smoothness the only tip i can give you is to search for small cpu taking processes in your task manager.

good luck!
