Opt test discussion

Some ground textures are invisible. Mostly the small hills, but some mountains also.

I've sent a message with full size screen shots to Skuzzy. If I posted them here, it'd take forever for the page to load. And, the full size was needed so you could actually see the missing textures.

I experienced the same effect as rshubert testing OPTEST4 online.
Not sure if I was missing most of the time or most hit flashes are gone in this version. I was aiming and firing as always but with far less vissible hits and inflicted damage. In some cases I got kills with no vissible flashes at all, while debris and fragments where clearly vissible.

I tested OPTEST4 online with VSYNC ON, Mindanao Map, all the time firing 190s guns and mgs.

BTW, somewhat I managed to keep the system using only 270MB (Win98SE here), this way I got an average 25% more FPSs (OPTEST op objects and op terrain ON) than normal AH.

On my last flight, during a low level dogfight I kept sending check six messages to friendly planes in front of me. To my surprise, the messages where all the time sent to players not visible nearby. I suppose these players were in GVs near and in front of my plane, but their icons where not visible for me.

Collision model seems weird now. I was firing against a B17 from 600 yards, dead six high, suddenly I got 4 or 5 white messages indicating that me have collided with me. No other enemies were nearby but the B17 formation flying level.

Hi Skuzzy, running Optest4 now online.
Still getting 30/60 secs game freezes.

Put Nvidia drivers back to 61.77 as you suggested, all appeared ok at first.

Just started last couple of nights.

Cel 1.8, 512mb, GeForce2 Ti200 64mb (24mb of gfx mem used), 1024x768, 16 bit, Textures 256, all sliders on perf., ground detail slider set to under the 0 in 0.5 miles.

Frame rates excellent.

Any ideas?

Smiggs.

I get frame rate improvement in game but crash when I try to up a goon .... or if in fighter .... attempt to close on a b17 or b24 to attack it.

also, I get a strafing town bug crash all the time when I try to strafe buildings in a GE fighter ... has happened in 110s and a8s.  Seems like it even happened in a Jug recently.  This bug isnt optest specific.
