Tactics ogre slowdown

felinusz · November 26th, 2002

Well, i am having a speed issue with tactics ogre, i have a very powerful configuration that has no trouvble runnning anything...

I have used the same emu and config to run other roms also (golden sun, mario kart etc)

but... tactics ogre has a persistant slowdown problem, it is almost unplayable when not on speed mode (holding down that key)

if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated...

Tell me your config in the emulator...

felinusz · November 27th, 2002

Okay, here we go...

DDraw use video memory
PNG format
11 khz sound quality
highest priority
normal filter
no frame skipping
fullscreen 640 x 480 rez

hope thats enuf...

I also am running winXP on a AMD XP 1800+ 1024 mgs of DDR RAM
on a Geforce 2 MX 400 ( 8-) )

hopefully this is enough information...

Whats the version of the emulator you have because VBA 1.3.1 has a new bug fix the fixes the frame skiiping
try VBA1.3.1

felinusz · December 12th, 2002

I have the newest version from NGemu... it is version number
1.31...

I think however that tactics ogre is simply a "slow" game, meaning that it simply has slow animations etc, I tried it out on a friends GBA and found it was the same speed as when i emulate it...
thatnks for the advice though

December 12th, 2002

on a side note, turn up that sound quality a notch

11khz is way too low....

felinusz · December 12th, 2002

heh, well, to my ears 11khz sounds the best...
maybe there's something wrong with me... :eyes:

also, apologies for the double edit post up there, i hadn't figured out how to edit yet. :|

in my system the game run cool
Frame Skip 1
800x600
44hz sound
Super 2xsal
Normal Priority
It's funny see a powerfull system like that run slow!!
I also had already that same card, and it also ran well, it was in overclock @ 250/191

Kaotic Soul · January 18th, 2003

do you have the newest video card drivers?

Chukrutz · January 18th, 2003

41.09

if you have AA on or anistrophic filtering on try turning them off.

felinusz · January 19th, 2003

That halps a little bit (filtering off). Just a note: the version of Tactics Ogre that I have is one of those stupid altered M-7 (or whatever) dumps; that might have something to do with it although I don't think that adding an tag-header can really screw up an image... !! :eyes:

I know that now foo

What do you think I am, an idiot??
(I'm just asking for it, I know...

)

On a more related note *ahem* , I have discovered that my friend has the same copy of the rom and is not expierencing any speed issues...

**Yeloazndevil** · January 19th, 2003

well make sure nothing is running in the background

Kaotic Soul · January 19th, 2003

Try this run regedit and search for VisualBoyAdvance{Click Edit&ltFind},(make sure only the look at "Key" is the only one checked) delete the key then rerun VBA, (back up your registry before you delete any key!!) The key will be under HKEY_CURRENT USER.

felinusz · January 21st, 2003

Here is a screen of what I am seeing.
Also: really stupid question that I really SHOULD know the answer to; where is the registry so that I can back it up?

Kaotic Soul · January 21st, 2003

When you search for Visual Boy Advance look for this....

Kaotic Soul · January 21st, 2003

The Key for Visual Boy Advance will look like this.It will have this stuff, If it has any other stuff then it is the wrong one.
