Tse Is Running Slow

by Morrie · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 10/11/2006 (7:38 pm) · 9 replies

I've downloaded TSE started a new project and when I'm in FPS mode everything runs really slow. Iknow its not my computer. Any ideas on what this would be and how to fix it. Also how do I switch for first to third person mode using the TAB button like TGE does.

Tell me what your graphics card and I might be able to tell you the problem. As for the tab thing... you are going to need to mount that. You could probably just copy a keymap from a TGE project.

Are you running SLI?

What is your frame rate?

Are your drivers up to date?

I too have this problem.

I'm running Nvidia 7800s in SLI.

My average framerate is around 45-60 in windowed mode. In fullscreen it's 100+

My drivers are up to date.

Try setting:

$pref::Video::killFramesAhead = 0;

in client/prefs.cs


Please let me know if this does or does not work. I've heard anecdotally that it does for SLI, but I don't think I've got direct confirmation of it.

I've done this. killFramesAhead causes a lot of weird problems with the 7800's when it's on. Maybe it's running in SLI though.

Have you tried setting the process to a single CPU?

Are you using a multi processor or dual core system? There is a known issue with them and a source code fix on the private forums.

Actually, go into your display settings and set your sli to single gpu rendering mode and give it a whirl, I get almost double FPS from turning SLI off :(

Also if you have a dual core you can just go to the task manager and set your process affinity to just one cpu by right clicking on the process name. you can also set this in your main function and the program will do it automaticly
