Llamalord Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It has been years since i have played and i have always wanted to go back to my roots for a real RTS game. Hope to see everyone out there playing! So far CnCNet has been ok but i have had a few problems and just want to make sure my system is ok and what options are best for it. I know i should run the game 100% just fine but just wanted some insight. Windows 10 Pro 64Bit CPU - i7 5820K GPU - Nvidia Geforce Founders GTX 1080 Ram - 32GB If you need anymore info let me know.

Had some crashing when trying to play the other day so i was not sure if there is a better setting for this game. I really want to get back into this and also Generals. I love how you guys are not letting this game died. It really is one of the best RTS games out there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Don't use TS-DDraw, it's crashing for me too on tiberian sun Could you upload the crash log? file is named except.txt in YR I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any is good, as long as it runs fast and doesn't crash make sure you upload the log though, just so we can make sure the crash was really caused by ts-ddraw and not somethign else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephan Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Disable hyperthreading :laugh: In my Motherboard settings? Why? Your cpu has 6 cores, but this game uses only 1 core. And if you have enabled hyperthreading it will use only 1 thread out of 12(50% of a single core). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiRaLeX Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Your cpu has 6 cores, but this game uses only 1 core. And if you have enabled hyperthreading it will use only 1 thread out of 12(50% of a single core). That's actually complete and utter bullshit. Windows scheduler is a lot smarter than you think it is. I personally have HT enabled and have never had any problems with it playing RA2. Disabling it isn't a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampastring Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Your cpu has 6 cores, but this game uses only 1 core. And if you have enabled hyperthreading it will use only 1 thread out of 12(50% of a single core). HyperThreading doesn't split single-core performance in half like that. Otherwise there'd be no benefit to HT, and Core i5s (that don't have HT) would be twice as fast in single-threaded tasks than HT-enabled Core i7s, while they're actually evenly matched with the same clock speed. And even if HT caused a performance drop, it wouldn't result in a crash. TS-DDRAW is a likely cause for the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said anything about a crash. Just team up with the cpu on a survival map, put the speed to fastest and see it by yourself. you will soon lag like crazy anyway. Also, this game doesn't need a graphics card anymore.. runs fine on just the igpu :laugh: Anyway, my RA2 performance is the same or a bit less than it was more than 12 years ago with my pentium 4 :laugh: Last year when i installed this game again i was like, wow the loading times are worse. Then i put HT off and it improved a bit. But you and SiRaLeX may know better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached 2 pictures 1 is when i tried to change to DDWRAPPER and the other is the game erroring Hey man i still have the Problem when updates come out. It was very easy to fix that Problem. The Problem is your antivirus delete one fail when you update your cncnet. Reinstall your cncnet and Update, when you First Time Start cncnet your antivirus will Block/delete then you Click on that Warning and then u can choose that your antivirus can ignore that file for future.

Llamalord Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I still have not been able to play 1 game suing cncnet...I just tried again and when i went to hit ESC in a game the game froze but the sound in the game still seems to be going but was never able to get the game going... :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The game is not freezing, the menu that shows when you press ESC is just invisible. (At least that's how it is in TS, should be the same in ra2 I guess) Either don't press ESC or try to use a different rendering setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
