Burt McGurt Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 First off congrats to Petroglyph on developing whats looks to be a great SW game. But to my issue with the demo... When I play the EAW space battles and use the cinematic camera view, during most of the time, it feels like the camera is shaking and so are the ships individually as they are flying through space. Its almost like a shimmering or ghosting effect I see with the ships. Seems to occur most often when the camera is focused on a single point and when ships are moving. When the ships are still or moving slowly horizontally it is fine or when the camera is panning around a single point. Also, if I speed up the gameplay, up to where it is ridiculously fast paced, I don't see this shaking effect so much. I've tried all combos of graphics settings with no change. I don't understand it. I am using a BFG 7800 GTX OC card with the latest 82.12 drivers. My card with a AMD FX-53 CPU should handle this with no problems. I am using a CRT monitor, so the "ghosting" I am seeing is not due to a LCD monitor. The odd thing is... Fraps is telling me that my frame rate is averaging in the 180's!!!... which to my eyes, looks no where close ... looks more like a 30 Fps to me. Please reply if you are having the same issue or have a fix. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PygmyShrew Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Tried using some older drivers? try rolling back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 With your graphics card. Did you have an older Nvidia card installed before? From experience, I know that the newer Nvidia cards can sometimes have issues if you installed the new forceware drivers over the old ones. You might need to completely remove your current drivers and install fresh again, the new ones. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just to add to this. I have just had the same thing whilst following a single Y-Wing fighter. Ive an AMd FX-55. Theres a chance this could have already been fixed as more bugs have been fixed since the demo was completed. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt McGurt Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks for replying ... I've rolled back to two driver versions ago. I may go back even further. And yes I had a 6800 Ultra (AGP) videocard in the past. But when I got that, I bought a new motherboard for PCI-E, and thus reformatted and reinstalled WinXP. So that shoudn't affect it. Just FYI... I'm using an Asus A8N32-SLI mobo with my 7800gtx. I may try as you said scrubbing older drivers completely -- maybe something is sticking that uninstalling my drivers normally didn't catch. And hopefully, this is just a bug that has been fixed post-demo release as you mentioned DMUK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible, but the UDA nvidia cards use usually mean the above doesnt happen, which was a much more common occurance 3-4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
