Got the .dlls thanks to Entsyymi, though doesn't seem like much of a perf. difference, maybe more for IQ?

What I'm curious about is why you need to replace the old D3D10, with the 10.1 version?

Are the 10.1 dlls supposed to go in the SysWow64 folder as well?(not just for FC, I mean in general, where are they supposed to be located, permanently, in their native form "10_1" etc?)

I have both the 10 and the 10_1 version of both .dll files in both folders (System32 & SysWow64). Lots of both

So yeah, I don't see a reason to rename them.

According to my previous sourced link the guy who tweak it that way posted a 2FPS improvement when using DX10.1.

Since you are using a stripped version of Vista 64bit I'm not too surprised if you don't notice a difference. Do you actually have SP installed or just downloaded a few .dlls?

TheGuruStud · Oct 25, 2008

Stripped x64 FTMFW!

I'm not even going to try dx10, I'm forcing 9 right off the bat.

dude... i think if you arent going to buy the game becuase you heard it has some POV problem... then you should either stop playing games or just get the damn thing....

Personally i havent noticed it being cropped atall and i game 1920X1200 on a 24".
BF2142... now that was a different story as it wasnt cropped and it looked fluffy... this FC2 looks great

I think youre being too picky... its great!

yes, I am being picky, but I have the luxury of it right now as there are a lot of other games I'm looking forward to

I'm not saying it's a bad game, in fact I know that's not the case. I am still thinking of getting it, it's just not at the top of my list anymore

If you are referring to the POV issue it's been fixed. I posted a link in my other post.

So far every gun dealer mission I've gotten makes me drive to the opposite end of the map...that does get old fast, esp. when the little checkpoints are repopulated minutes after you've killed off the dudes camped there.

But what doesn't get old is blowing up an oncoming vehicle, seeing the bodies tossed all asunder, and watching the wildfire spread across the grass in front of you! lol great stuffs

take the bus! you can skip to the side of the map in question, and theres always a car waiting for you after you do a few buddy missions (its one of the early ones)

When you press 5 you get the map. You press R and get the bigger map. You can travel outside the boudaries of the map into the desert, and the map changes though I've only gone so far... I doubt it's easy to find water or malaria pills way out in the desert! It's deffinitely explorable though, as I did find a diamond and a couple of (now dead) dudes riding around in a truck.

at 50% game completion, you go off map and into an entirely new one.

the FOV problem caused lots of people to have motion sickness.
on my 40" it was ok, but i can imagine on a 15-19" screen it would have caused a lot of problems. My problem with it, is that when driving i cant see the bottom 1/4 of the map... i had to stop driving, look right down, and then look up again.

who the heck is at 50%? i'm still under 10% lol

wolf2009 · Oct 25, 2008

have you guys noticed that, DX 10 avg fps are higher than DX 9 avg fps with the benchmark .

jimmyme · Oct 25, 2008

LOL, has anyone taken a mission from an arms trader? the ones that unlock better weapons?
"some guy is bringing in some arms in from the east blahblah".... well actually hes not bringing them anywhere just driving them around and around in circles at a random location on the map LOL what a joke

anyway, found a golden AK-47, not bad...

PS the widescreen fix is GOLD, pity about scoped weapons... now its just a scope floating in space. ;-)

ShadowFold · Oct 25, 2008

They drive around in circles selling to people. And I am out of malasia pills, how long do I have to live?

you need to do missions for the priest at the church. completing each mission there, gives you more pills.

funny mines the other way around, 20 in 10 200 in 9 give or take a couple.

i reran the 9 one a few time last night before posting...

either way im giving up on the sp for now as im bored of drive here kill sombody, drive there kill sombody, drive there and kill a few on the way so you can kill sombody else. i hope the mp saves it other wise its £30 i would of been better smoking in my bong.

Yea I just got done with that.. Like a couple seconds before I got them my dude started flipping out :laugh:

I am 20% done.. I wanna unlock some more guns I did all I could for now

sneekypeet · Oct 25, 2008

hey fellas whats the deal with the mouse seeming to keep moving left when you scope in and try to fire. even after a restart it seems to keep slowly spinning left.

Also confirmed with an ATI owner with the same issues, so it isnt driver or cards. both are continuing to do this out of the blue. Havent changed anything and it was fine this afternoon, just when I tried like 30 mins ago?

EDIT: Seems that setting the Nvidia control pannel had something to have to do with it. I had swapped to let the app decide, and it caused this issue, going to the middle setting " use advanced 3d" it seems to have corrected it?!?!?!?!?!

TheGuruStud · Oct 25, 2008

I wouldn't even bother playing this game until it's patched. It crashed multiple times while changing settings and then once while saving game. That's enough for me. Plus, the shadows are fubar. It's practically solid black anywhere there's a shadow. I don't know if this is the 180.42 driver or what, but it's BS. And the grass is blue/green, wtf.

Well, I'm off to play dead space. Screw this crap.

got my first decent ping match last night. but overall i thought it was pretty bad.
It kinda reminded me of goldeneye, back in the day, which was then...but this is now...
poor Ubisoft, theyve got some nice ideas.......

gamepads/joystick would cause your aim issues. i've not seen it on either of my systems.

yes it is the drivers. those betas are terrible, and screw lots of things up with the game.
