Thread: Removed maps from automatch pool 202110 Jan 2021, 23:40 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2021, 23:05 PMserbiansoldier02 My prediction of 1v1 maps to be removed: 1.Angoville 2.Arnhem 3.Nexus 4.Crossroads Winter 5.Vilshanka 6.Ladoga Karelia. And why the hell only Bayeux will certainly not be removed? I hate that map I already spoiled Novgorod should be removed (do not know for sure). Since it is my map and feel it is not well liked, I asked for it to be removed. Bayeux has been reworked a lot and well tested on AEs stream by top players. No map is great until it has been in automatch for a while and fully tested with all kinds of players. So the new Bayeux will be much improved.

Thread: The game still lag in 4K, even with RTX-30809 Jan 2021, 07:33 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2021, 06:18 AMPorygon Should we keep vsync disable? That is a good question. When testing your FPS it should be turned off so you can see the actual FPS you are getting. I use the STEAM overlay for FPS. Vertical sync was needed in the old days so you didnt see tearing (weird artifacts) on the screen as you drew new data to the frame buffer and it was showing old data. So you would get half new data half old data. V sync makes the GPU wait until an old CRT monitor is in the process of moving the electron beam from the bottom of the screen to the top. So no data is being drawn while you put the new image into the buffer. Early videocards only had memory you could write to while it was not being read from. So Vsync was the only option. LCDs do not have a refresh exactly so it may not be needed in most situations. And all it is doing is adding a WAIT period for each frame you draw and slowing down your game. I always have it on since I only play Coh2 and 60 fps is fine for me. When I turn V sync off I get much better fps but then my GPU fan starts spinning up and making a lot of heat. You should definetely turn it off and check how it goes. Also verify that the graphics settings are at a high refresh rate. When I start changing resolutions from 1080 to 4k, windows changes my refresh rate to 30 Hertz and I have to manually fix it. I am only using HDMI cables so I dont think it can do 60Hz at 4K. I think you need a DisplayPort cable for 60Hz. But I am guessing. SUMMARY For BEST performance, turn V Sync off and if the screen starts having distortions that bother you, turn it back on.

Thread: The game still lag in 4K, even with RTX-30808 Jan 2021, 22:32 PM Just for giggles I have been testing a couple PCs at home: PC 1 i7 3770 Turbo: 3.9 GHz Cores (Threads): 4 (8) GeForce 1070ti 8GB Perf Test LOW: AVG 60 fps @ 1080p no sync PC 2 i5 8400 Turbo: 4.0 GHz Cores (Threads): 6 (6) GeForce 1060 3GB Perf Test LOW: AVG 90 fps @ 1080p no sync So the newer i5 8400 is 50% faster even though it has a MUCH slower videocard. The main difference is the memory speed and memory interface. The i7 DMI is 5GT/s and the i5 DMI is 8GT/s. This points me to the fact that a lot of the work of the game is done on the CPU and has to be transferred either to/from memory or to/from the videocard. Obvious things are the FOW calculations and pathing. Assuming they are done on the CPU. The old i7 has a memory speed of DDR3-1333. The newish i5 is DDR4-2666. So I am curious if it is best to get the newest mobo and fastest ram you can as opposed to throwing money into a better GPU. Of course the GPU may help other games. Another interesting value was updating the GPU settings to a medium level made almost no change to the FPS in the tests. Which indicates the GPU is not a factor on speed at lower resolutions. Maybe at 2k and 4k you will see some differences. In the old FPS days, the amount of L1 and L2 memory cache was key. If you could get your larger loops to run inside this amount of memory you could bypass the slower main memory. Not sure if that matters here, but I note it since the data sets being operated on may be much larger than a typical FPS game. The search for fps continues... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Removed maps from automatch pool 20216 Jan 2021, 21:27 PM I will go out on a limb here and guess that NO maps will be removed because the patch will never come Did I win? Are there any parting gifts for the other contestants? In: Lobby

Thread: Novgorod Outskirts5 Jan 2021, 19:33 PM Thanks spaget man! People who do not like this map have had to play it broken for over a year now. A whole year. They will never play it now. No matter how good the rework is. Permanent veto land. Any new 1v1 maps added (64-bit) will probably be better anyway. So you will soon forget Novgorod hopefully In: Automatch Maps
Thread: Rework 3vs3 and 4vs4 maps4 Jan 2021, 18:35 PM Here are some newer values from SiphonX stats: NOTE: I imagine some of the freshness of Road to Arnhem and White Ball has worn off and they may have fallen down a little since these stats were looked at. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Rework 3vs3 and 4vs4 maps4 Jan 2021, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2021, 00:09 AMGrumpy In short, Rosbone's graphic makes sense because of the balance of the maps, not because people want to camp with MG's and mortars. The couple new maps like White Ball are really good, but my guess is that the few people that make maps have to put in hundreds of hours to make a map play like that. I like everything you said in your post. And appreciate your comments on all the maps! The weird thing with making a 4v4 map is that it is the easiest to make. The area around the fuels needs to be balanced. The middle VP needs to be pretty open, but not too open for ELE/JAGD. And dont put a lot of sight blockers between the base and the fuel. So the middle 128 meters is all the really matters. The problem is getting the map tested and Relic limiting us to how often we can add maps. So you only get one shot at it. You cant make any crazy interesting maps like Lorch. Because it may be the only map added for 2 or 3 years. So you have to make it a little boring and generic so it plays best for everyone. And testing a 4v4 map is extremely hard for balance. Getting 8 players with the same skill set to play is impossible. So it is almost not needed. It is good to find the big bugs and see how players 'feel' the map though. MY ACTUAL POINT Anyone can crank out a 4v4 map in a week or two if it is not too complicated. We have a lot of new mappers that are cutting their teeth on 1v1 and 2v2 maps right now. It would be great to see them make some 3v3 and 4v4 maps if we ever get a hint from Relic about another map patch. And of course my constant broken record line I always use "WE NEED A MAP MAKING CONTEST". Maybe not make it super huge like the 2v2. Just something small but big enough to get some players interested in playing the maps for testing. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rework 3vs3 and 4vs4 maps3 Jan 2021, 23:53 PM Yes Red Ball favors static play with team weapons. But the chart shows that of the 6,000 players we may have in one day, 5,800 want to play Red Ball. So should we remove the map for the 200 that do not want to play it? That is the trade off. On a side note, that is why we developed White Ball. To be the same size and feel of Red Ball but allow more dynamic play styles. I only say that to let you know that people are trying to find the best of both play styles. You are not being ignored. In: COH2 Gameplay
