[MOD]DeadAir Mods

Empty Space/Shadows End: 40-50 fps even more in Shadows End.
Argon prime wharf ( early game ): 25-30 fps, for obvious reasons I cant test it in late game yet. And if no ships are being built, if they are, 15 fps.
Large FPS dips: Battles. Thats it, fleet battles, and I cant confirm it yet but in my last game when I used supplement+jobs it was a constant lag when I reached mid game and late game.

I have to add another thing:

As time goes on, fps start to fall, in bussy space, like Court of Curbs, fall to 15 fps, and it can get worse near shipyards. Note that all of this test are done with overclocked CPU, thats why in my most stable save I didnt used supplement and jobs. I think it is a lot of faction logic to run for a CPU that is not a high end one. I know that it is easier for you to pack all in one mod, but the modular model was better for this type of cases. Anyway, keep the good work

Performance should never really get worse over time. There are more ships at game start than ever again from my testing. It most likely is the ego dlc bug causing God to make more and more stations on load. Working with mysterial to figure it out.

On a station in Heart of Acrimony 2 I'm getting about 35-42 fps.

I-9 9900k (overclocked to 4.9/5.0 GHz), 2x GTX 1070s (overclocked, not currently in SLI since the game doesn't utilize sli), 32gb of DDR4 3200, running the game on SSD.

Graphics Settings: 2560x1440, MSAA x2, VSync off, Textures and Shadows High, Soft Shadows off, SSAO normal, Glow high, LOD and Effect distance 100 and 75 (lowering distances doesn't help)

Graphical setting changes don't seem to help so I'm chalking it up to the new dlc not playing nice with the scripts/God?

It's possibly from the dlc god bug or just the amount of cpu processing; I'll head out there on a fresh start and see if i notice anything since we have similar set builds.

Hello, I've run into a strange problem, when I place the mod in extensions folder in root directory, the game just hangs with black sceen prior to Ego logo, which didn't happen with other mods. Tried to move it to docs extension folder (I know it's wrong) and copied ego_dlc_split there as dependency, and it kinda worked with game starting fine and the new map loading, but there are some sectors with all gates set to inactive, probably couse it's still installed wrong. Any idea what could be cousing that black screen?

did you rename the folder? It needs to be unchanged.

Code: Select all

deadairgateoverhaul-master

[DeadAirRT]

For those looking for a performance friendly'er version, please try this version of jobs.xml and let me know

Jobs.xml

New version of jobs file for testing

[lordofpie7000]

Is deadAir ware still functional? No updates on github so was curious if it needed any real changes or was good out the box.

[vadiolive]

If you not mind add on steam workshop when you ready , kind sux keep on update track

It seems like with this new game version+dlc a lot of people is having performance issues, without your overhaul fps increases but not that much... So maybe this update is worsening it, I'll wait a bit till they release a fix for this, because otherwise maybe we are testing something that is not your fault. On the other hand for some people performance increased. Keep the good work

No, I didn't change the name of the folder.

EDIT

I found the problem, I just needed to pack the files, so after placing them into cat/dat it started working, but there are still sectors with disconnected gates, particulary some of the unowned ones around the split sectors like Fires of defeat.

So something must still be wrong. Windows 7 or Linux? If not, all you have to do is extract to base game extensions folder.

I do need to make a few updates, they are save compatible so trying to get a few things knocked out on main mod first.

That's a bit trickier. Like you said, you will have to pack the files.

Is the split dlc in your documents folder or root game?

It was installed (and still is) in the root folder, I just tried to copy it to documents with the mod as a way to make it run.

They would have to be in the same folder (root) to work. Did you try the mod packed in root and still had issues?

Yes, I packed it in the root extensions folder, with the dlc alongside of it in extensions, but it still results in the disconnected sectors.

EDIT

It's working now afer I removed the copied dlc folder that I left in the docs folder, probably it was taking precedence over the proper one. Anyway, thanks for your great mod, and for anyone who has troubles running the mod on Windows 7, use the X Catalog Tool to pack the mod's files (just the folders inside deadairgateoverhaul-master without content.xml and readme), and place the cat/dat files together with content.xml in deadairgateoverhaul-master in root/extensions.

I'll have to chalk up the bad fps to X4. While at worst this might take a few fps off the top, I can't understand losing 15-20 frames from this mod alone. It's unfortunate EGO reintroduced bad fps with the latest DLC.

Its strange, some people has more fps and better performance, while others ( like me and you ) have much worse performance.
