This is quite neat, +1000 internets, and surprisingly I went balls to the wall and just went straight to the "ultra.high.maxed.user.cfg" and... I get better fps lmfao. I've been tweaking things in it to my own liking, but what settings causes the blur? What I'm particularly talking about is during the start-up sequence the wording on the panels blur, or if you twist around you can see it then too. I figured it would have been "r_MotionBlur = 1" to "= 0" would have been it, but I still get it.

Make sure you turn OFF motionblur in the ingame options. thats how you get rid of it 100%.

NEW USER.CFG - using crytek commands from the recent Crysis 3 game.

WHY? Attempt to fix texture popping and improve visual fidelity.

TESTING STAGE? 1 drop so far.

Use at your own risk. only for high end machines. Once more testing is done I will expound, for now if you want to test and report back do so here.

Tested your new config. Been a long time since I've messed with the User.cfg on my machine.

Commented out the FOV and mouse stuff. I like those defaults just the way they are.

First match Alpine. No difference in textures popping in or visual fidelity. No difference in FPS.
Second match Alpine. Crashed to desktop just after the map loading screen.
Will continue using it for today at least, to see if it affects any maps.

System:
i7-3770K 3.5GHz CPU
16GB 1600 RAM
GTX 680 GPU
256GB SSD
Win7 Pro 64-bit
320.00 Beta drivers
2560x1440 resolution
Very High settings except for Environment and Effects, which are set to Low at the moment

Edit:
Third match River City. Didn't see any difference. Crashed to desktop after match summary screen.

I no longer have a user.cfg file since the latest patch, are you guys just creating one?

Yeah I did a fresh install to try to remedy some bugs and apparently PGI doesn't put one in anymore, just make a new one from a text file.

Do you have these crashes without the custom file as well? Your rigs more capable than mine, I havent had any crash troubles yet (beyond the usual random crashing/glitches). Also, if you guys want try turing ONLY postAA on in options (all others should say "OFF" and see if your AA improves)

make sure you delete the cache folder.

try commenting out

e_CoverageBufferReproj = 0

r_TexturesStreamPoolSize = 512

r_WaterVolumeCausticsDensity = 256

r_WaterVolumeCausticsRes = 1024

and/or

s_MPEGDecoders = 32
s_Obstruction = 1
s_ObstructionAccuracy = 1
s_ObstructionUpdate = 0.1
s_SoundMoodsDSP = 1
s_VariationLimiter = 1


e_ShadowsPoolSize = 2048

and see if that stabilizes it, if you could run another 5 matches first to see if it really is this new file or not first would be great.

Yes, I had the crashes before -- for the past couple of weeks. But never that quickly and that frequently. Usually, it happens about every five matches or so. I reboot after every crash, whether it's to desktop or I have to kill it manually. So in this case, I rebooted, had one match and crashed immediately. Never done that before.

To reduce variables, I have done a clean re-install of the Nvidia WHQL 314.22 drivers. It might be something with the Beta 320s.

Some errors I noticed in Omicron:

These have nothing to do with user.cfg, but are interesting nonetheless:

And this a couple of times:

Following this advice:

View PostScope666, on 03 April 2013 - 12:29 PM, said:

; For high/very high spec, make this number large enough for large maps to avoid terrain texture popping
; For medium/low spec, increasing e_TerrainTextureLodRatio would fix the issue too but will sacrifice texture quality
e_TerrainTextureStreamingPoolItemsNum = 256

I increased the value for that to 2048 and that seems to have greatly lessened the texture popping for me.

Also, based on the warnings in my previous post, I removed all unknown commands.

So far, so good. Several matches, no crashes (knock on wood) and greatly reduced texture popping. Win-win!

For those interested, my exact settings from the Nvidia Control Panel:

AO: Off
AF: App-Con
AA-FXAA: On
AA-GC: On
AA-Mode: App-Con
AA-Setting: App-Con
AA-Trans: App-Con
CUDA-GPUs: All
Max Pre Frames: Use 3D App Setting
M-D/M-G Accel: Single
PowMan Mode: Max Perf
TF-ASO: On
TF-NLOD Bias: Allow
TF-Q: Perf
TF-Tri: On
Thread Opt: On
Trip Buf: On
Vert Sync: Use 3D App Setting

Took six matches, but finally crashed to desktop again. We'll see if the pattern continues. I was hoping the non-Beta drivers might make (more of) a difference...

Durant,

the unknown command doesnt mean it isnt working. some of the unknowns like FOV and mouse sensitivity obviously work but still give the unknown command error. this is just a cryengine thing i guess.

S!

Seems they work except on River City the "citadel" viewed from upper spawn point. The building is not completely rendered, without the cfg file works normally. I use Very High except Post Processing on LOW.

Haha with your config I get my first CTD.

Done more matches with your config and I have also a 7870.I don't have the nerve to get a fix for it so I call your cfg a total malfunction. + I dont see any frame drop , maybe because v-sync is every time on.
But whatever this causes only errors for the hud or blackscreens or CTDs.
And thx after back up everything I keep crashing after loading into a match and I play 4h today without your cfg and nothing happened and now I cant play at all.

Love it to DL everything again with my max speed of 350kb/s

Every Clan/Lance mate on my list who play with me, I will tell them to not load this thing. Even the old Ultra High Configs from 2012/10 load the game correctly before.

I've never had a CTD with any of the cfgs and I've spent a week trying all the high end ones out and tweaking things for my new 7850 crossfire setup...and for months before that I had no issues whatsoever on my old rig with these cfgs.

There is a CTD problem with the game itself currently tho and the devs are aware of it.
See here: http://mwomercs.com/...op-after-5-sec/

I've recommended colonel pada vinson's cfgs to all my friends on Comstar New Avalon TS and they've all said "HUGE improvement, thanks!"

Maybe check out that thread and read up on the logic fallacy called post hoc ergo propter hoc: "after this, therefore because of this" because correlation does not imply causation.

CTD and other bugs come and go after a few patches , true but like I said I played 4h before this day without any reboot or whatever, without that config and after I load the config first the game CTD after the game was done. Second try the HUD total went out , after 1min the HUD go back online but without a grid/coordinations and not the correct direction of the legs>torso also the entire HUD was during this fight flickering and jump from offline to online all the time. Never see this type of bug before and never read anything about that. And after that every time I click on launch when the game is finish with loading the map the game CTD.

Back up the entire folder , don't work and maybe this thing trigger the error for the guys http://mwomercs.com/...op-after-5-sec/ but whatever there is no fix in that topic.

And I also played from the latest upgrade till now without any CTD .

Ok for the new May 7th patch here is a stable ultra-high user.cfg file that works with my user.cfg package.

Turn PostAA ON in MWO options after installing package, all else should be off.

So far this patch seems totally stable from 10 drops with this. looks very nice and sharp too. colrgrading off continues to give a greatly improved visual experience, as does disabled DoF and the film grain removal. with maxed smoke effects the game looks so real it is quite cool to watch.

Hello Panda,Could you allow the terrantitans site for users from Czech rep, please? I want to try to get more Fps from my Lenovo work laptop (NVS 4200m SH*T :)( ), but it tells that users from Czech republic are not allowed to get there ...
Thanks in advance and thank you for your effort!
Edit: now it works, thank you for quick reaction if you did something with it :)

We sadly had to block a large amount of countries and users due to hackers attacking my servers from Russia/Czech republic, etc. Some IP's forwarded to the FBI for investigation, some from USA even. You can email me at info@terrantitans.com to request a ban removal if you can not access the website.

On a side note, anyone who has been attempting to take down my sites or hack them should be a careful little monkey. I've been around a long time.
