Performance, memory tweaks and a few encountered bugs
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2018 12:40 am
Hey guys, i have a decent PC build:
i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz
1050ti 4GB VRAM
16GB RAM
Daggerfall installed on an SSD
But with all the settings at their highest (For unity), the highest settings for mods (Real time refections, distant terrain, post processing and all the other graphics mods) and the HQ texture packs, my pc struggles to keep up and the game has a tendency to crash alot. Sometimes on start up, fast travelling and when applying the mods on current save games.
I believe it may have to do with the size of the game and how if im in Wayrest for example, there is alot of sprites and such the game has to render and setup. Which is understandable, But what makes no sense is how im able to run 45FPS on an Ultra Graphics Overhauled Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim on my setup yet Daggerfall Unity struggles. Perhapes im over estimating the power of my build.
Thats why im wondering if DFU is using all 16GB of my RAM to its advantage or the VRAM my GPU has. Like in minecraft for instance, you can manually setup the RAM usage and such in the launch command line. Is there something similar for DFU? Or is there like a very well explained guide or discussion for a proper settings setup with the majority of the mods on the workshop? If there is i would love to read it or test settings out for i do want DFU to look beautiful, but actually run and be playable.
Also, comming from Elder Scrolls Arena, i know you can use an enchanted item even if the effect isnt known. But for some reason, my enchanted Iron Warhammer and Braclet cant be selected to see what they do. Like the Enchanted items menu doesnt show up for me. Is there a way to fix this or has someone ran into this problem as well?
Another bug is with the spell book. I cant organize spells that i have nor can i save them to the actual spell book. If it is saving them, it still says it has no spells when i check the info in my inventory.
Also, after sending the letter to the necromancer for the Princess of Wayrest (main quest) my log book didnt update and i actually cant scroll down the pages using the arrow keys or clicking the arrows with my mouse to see if it even logged. The log book was working just before i finished that quest, but again, it didnt seem to log what she said about the ex queen of daggerfall i need to talk too. And now im stuck.
And another bug, is tbat the notebook button doesnt work. I cant open the notebook at all. Is this normal? Or is there something im missing?
Very sorry if i sounded odd or offensive in someway, i just would love to see the graphics potential of DFU like in this video: https://youtu.be/ESWQYUxSs6Q and experience it myself.
