Wolfenstein: The New Order - Part 2

Rage engine requires you set Vsync to On in video card control panel.

 

That used to cause graphic glitches in the early levels.

 

It was enabling triple buffering in the graphics driver control panel that caused the glitches from my experiences not forcing v-sync. The game uses Adaptive V-Sync which means it tears if it dips below 60 FPS and if you force V-Sync in the driver then everytime the game dips below 60 FPS then it drops right down to 30 FPS because it has no native triple buffering support. It's why I stopped playing the PC version and played it on my PS4. Can't stand screen tearing or halved framerate drops like that.

 

Anyone with a system like mine who wants to share their cfg ?
If possible i wouldn't mind added some extra visual detail.

I tried the cfg maker, but it became a slideshow with 1/2 fps.

 

Not much can be added there. This is my current config:

MSAA 4x, High textures, Screen Space Reflections on Low (Almost zero difference in image, but eats fps, even Ultra preset has it on Low). If you have a lot of VRAM you can activate Ultra textures:
vt_pageImageSizeVmtr 8192
vt_uncompressedPhysicalImages 1
and if your CPU can handle (reduces textures pop in, but can cause fps drops while moving camera):
vt_maxPPF 64

Still waiting for CUDA transcoding...

 

So that's basically as high as it gets ?
p.s. I figured out why it became a slideshow because of vsync. So i tried the config again with these settings and it ran with no problems.

It's more or less everything turned up to super ultra. gpu load is around 90% & cpu load around 50%
But i might try yours instead, because mine is just enabling everything, even the pointless settings that just drain resources.

Yeah, 16x multisampling, crazy 16k texture and shadow sizes, with a lot of redundant config lines are you sure it's working fine? are you sure config was loaded? :3eyes: 4GB vcard? fps will be pretty low and I doubt your CPU could even handle 16k textures with vt_maxPPF 128.

 

Yes, i'm quite sure it loaded the config because i loaded it manually through the console.
There's some stutter right after it loaded savegame, but then it runs fine.

Did you add exec yourconfig.cfg to wolfConfig.cfg so you wouldn't need to load it manually ?
Is that why you have the echo added ?

 

With 16x multisampling I got 27-35 fps, unplayable
I load it manually in menu before starting level

 

Same here! got 20-25 FPS

 

The game runs silky smooth for me with x8, and when trying I can't spot enough of a difference between 8 and 16 to bother.

Wolf is a picky game, will run great on some systems... and other, better systems have issues.
Ahh PC gaming... the fun things you do.

 

Tbh, i cant (on my monitor atleast) ever really tell the diff between * and 16 AA, only if i use something like 8 then go up to some form of SparseGrid or whatever its called.

Great game...have i said that yet

Also, Does BF BadCompany 2 steam version require Origin?

 

Nope.
Bad Company 2 on STEAM (which is the version I own) does NOT use Origin.

 

haha, sorry. Thought i was in the Steam Sales thread when posted that. But thanks Damien_Azreal. Gonna pick it up as the box copy i have take way to long to update if i do format then reinstall.

 

No problem.
I've made that mistake myself in the past.

 

Silky smooth with 40 fps on medium settings?
16x is an overkill, even 8x is a bit high

 

Okay, after copying your config i decided to just throw exec wolf.cfg in the main config, should work fine.

edit: what number is 1080 ?
i used 36 as mentioned in the config, but that completely messed everything up.

 

you can remove it, for me it's either 17 or 36 for 1 or 2 monitor with 1080p (game messes up the monitor order sometimes)

 

Yeah, i just deleted it, much easier.

 

Half price on Steam, £17.49, thoughts ?
