    somehow Activision ****ed up the way UE 3 loads the textures.... In UT3 it does the same but it takes 5 to 10 seconds to fully load the textures after the initial level loading... in Singularity it takes minutes for textures to load...

    C'mon guys, stop bitching about texture streaming, I got this problem with every UE3 game since GoW... Don't shoot the game devs, shoot the engine :) It never wasn't that bad, however. It's like if other modern games are blockbusters, Raven games are perfect B-movies straight from 90's, and this one is a very good example. I mean, where else nowadays can you see anything like this? :wanker:

    This is what happens when Activision publishes a game they don't care about. Activision have been crapping over Raven's games for a while now....

    Go to their site, you'll find adds for the new DJ Hero, Guitar Hero... Call of Duty... but Singularity isn't even listed.
    This is why id Software wanted away from Activision. It really sucks that Raven is owned by Activision. :( I'd love to see what they could do with a publisher that actually cared about what they were doing.


    As for the lack of ini files, that doesn't seem possible. I'm not saying it isn't possible... just hard to really believe.
    I can understand no files being in the game's directory... but what about in the documents and settings\"user name"\my documents (or possible "application data")
    That's where I've had to go to get ini files for damn near every UE3 game I've played.

    I love Ravensoft from when they did Hexen, Jedi Outcast/Academy, Quake 4 and Wolfenstein... but one of my original favorites was Soldier of Fortune. While playing this game, the parts of the body you shoot gets blown off and I was like.. wait that reminds me of Soldier of Fortune lol and loath and behold.. this was by the same company. I like seeing those types of trademarks games do and that they're known for.

    Activation is getting so bad that they're making EA look good -_-;

    It's true about the ini files.. I can't find them anywhere either..
    Been modifying almost all my ue3 game's ini's.. But this is a hard one, since they're gone lol..

    although.. there is a config file.. but.. it's.. in the registry lol...

    Damn. That is just..... odd. Hopefully something turns up. Raven is usually really good about listening to the community and trying to patch/fix problems that users find.

    Tweaked it... Looks a bit better with composite dynamic lights on (as UE3 games always do, I wonder why devs keep on disabling such a cool lighting feature), but rest of the settings don't seem to affect anything.

    Through Regedit.

    There are same settings as in usual UE3 .ini files, best thing you can do is to set CompositeDynamicLights to 1, MaxAnisotropy to 10 (which will result 16x), MaxMultisamples to 8 (doesn't work for me anyway) and MaxShadowResolution to 800 (will result in 2048 Kbytes, some shadows do look better). Don't set AllowD3D10 to 1, otherwise game won't start. To add some additional shadows set bEnableBranchingPCFShadows to 1.

    EDIT: You can also set AmbientOcclusion to 1, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Is there a way to modify the streaming textures that way?

    because it merges nearby dynamic lights making it worse that's why.. its best to keep it disabled unless you want higher performance with uglier iq.


    edit: wow forcing anti aliasing is a killer, it literally cuts my fps in half.. at the beginning on the island i got avg 110-120 fps, now with forced 2xaa just 40-60fps.. usually around 45fps:3eyes:

    i didnt see any streaming yet, im hoping for the best, and the game looks good too,.. although typical unreal3 engine fx; fire, smoke, foliage, characters, etc.. nothing bad though.
