The Dark Mod updated to 2.07!

**nbohr1more** · 27th Mar 2017 14:38

Yeah, this doesn't seem to be The Dark Mod specific. I experienced the same problem with vanilla Doom 3. I created autoexec.cfg files for all my Doom 3 mods to resolve it.
I suppose someone could open a bug ticket with Nvidia or Microsoft on this. Hard to say how much attention they would afford it.

Looks like this is falling down:

for ( modeNum = 0 ; ; modeNum++ ) {
if ( !EnumDisplaySettings( NULL, modeNum, &devmode ) ) {
if ( matched ) {
// we got a resolution match, but not a frequency match
// so disable the frequency requirement
common->Printf( "..." S_COLOR_YELLOW "%dhz is unsupported at %dx%d\n" S_COLOR_DEFAULT, parms.displayHz, parms.width, parms.height );
parms.displayHz = 0;
break;
}
common->Printf( "..." S_COLOR_YELLOW "%dx%d is unsupported in 32 bit\n" S_COLOR_DEFAULT, parms.width, parms.height );
return false;
}
if ( (int)devmode.dmPelsWidth >= parms.width
&& (int)devmode.dmPelsHeight >= parms.height
&& (int)devmode.dmBitsPerPel == 32 ) {

matched = true;

if ( parms.displayHz == 0 || devmode.dmDisplayFrequency == parms.displayHz ) {
break;
}
}

Probably needs to be replaced with GetCaps:

After a lengthy public beta phase, we are proud to announce the release of The Dark Mod 2.06!

The Dark Mod has undergone a lot of reorganization under the hood. A substantial amount of work was done to improve rendering performance and overall framework tech. Legacy OpenGL methods have been replaced with their equivalents in modern OpenGL. This is also the first TDM release to offer a native 64-bit build.

A full changelog can be viewed here, but some highlights include:

Better Visuals: Duzenko and Stgatilov have implemented a Soft Shadows option that finally removes the sharp edges of TDM shadows. This has a huge impact on the visuals of TDM missions. This option is currently labelled Experimental in the menu as we have had reports of issues on certain hardware. See here if you are experiencing flickering or other problems.

Better Sound: EFX audio now allows users without Creative hardware to enable EAX in the menua feature that processes reverb data and changes sounds based on the surrounding environment. Currently, only a few maps, like Volta 2: Cauldron of the Gods, by Kingsal, are set up to use EAX effects, but since all users can now benefit from it, mappers are encouraged to use this feature going forward. Interested mappers should see here.

Better Menus: The TDM menus have also been given a visual update, boosting the resolution and adjusting the graphics for widescreen monitors. Durandall has added scrollbar functionality to the mission menus, and Obsttorte has implemented a new menu option that allows users to customize the size and opacity of HUD elements, complete with a visual preview.

New Assets: A new set of Springheel's architectural modules is included in this release--a set of 50 models for creating church interiors. A number of new models have been added to other sets. Also included is a huge number of new prefabs, allowing mappers to quickly and easily create detailed map sections, as demonstrated in Springheel's Speedbuild series.

Better Mission Intros: This is the first TDM release to offer video codec support other than ROQ. TDM 2.06 allows for FFMPEG video support, which means that mappers will now have an easier time adding video briefings to their missions.

Better Gameplay: An error that kept food from restoring health has been fixed, and all food will now restore a certain amount of health when eaten. Guards can now sleep and wake up while seated.

Better Performance: Finally, experimental multi-core support is included for the first time, via patches from Cabalistic's VR branch. While this can cause performance enhancements, it is currently in "Experimental" form as some users may experience random crashes with this option enabled. Uncapped FPS is also now an option for users after this update.

To update, simply run the tdm_update.exe file in your darkmod folder. Please be aware that old saved games will not be compatible with 2.06, so finish any missions you might be in the middle of first!

**Csimbi** · 27th May 2018 15:55

Really nice updates, thank you!

**AluminumHaste** · 27th May 2018 15:56

It might also be a good idea to let TDM create a new config file by deleting your darkmod.cfg, especially if you run into any issues.

**nbohr1more** · 27th May 2018 16:32

Tips for Soft Shadows users:

1) If you have Nvidia hardware, consider using FXAA instead of in-game AA settings.

2) If you want softer shadows, try playing with the r_softShadowsRadius values in the command-line console (default is 1.0)

Congrats, Springheel and team!...

...'twould be good to update the OP!

I updated, but now I can't see my sword and blackjack anymore

I've never heard that reported.

Post your Darkmod.cfg please.

Disable AA and set your resolution to Native screen resolution.

Then for AA use FXAA in your driver settings.

Got another problem now. I disabled AA, then set FXA in my Nvidia settings, but now the game refuses to show in full screen with most options, regardless of the resolution or aspect ratio. It only goes full screen in 1200x1600, but it's unplayable as you can't see the bottom of the screen. The only way to restore full screen is to reenable AA, which causes the blackjack problem

What's your native resolution?

**Azaran** · 27th May 2018 23:06

1600 x 900

**nbohr1more** · 27th May 2018 23:09

Try forcing it via an autoexec.cfg

seta r_customHeight "900"
seta r_customWidth "1600"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "1"

You may also need to disable High DPI scaling:

Alright that solved everything. Thanks a lot!

**Thirith** · 28th May 2018 01:14

I'm currently trying to update TDM, but the updater keeps downloading the same 234.8 MB ZIP file. It seems to be stuck in a loop. Any help would be much appreciated! (I also got the loop where the updater kept trying to update itself, but that one stopped happening after I went to Advanced Options and told it not to update itself.)

**Azaran** · 28th May 2018 01:39

Check your antivirus. I had a hard time installing the update initially because my AVG doesn't like the updater anymore, and was stalling it every time, even after I marked the file as safe. I disabled it and it finally completed

**nbohr1more** · 28th May 2018 07:37

Yeah. Other than antivirus, we get lots of reports of Windows 7 and newer folks with their darkmod directory set to "Read Only".
Updating the folder permissions should allow you to proceed in that case.

**AluminumHaste** · 28th May 2018 09:04

Just some quick screenshots showing the difference between hard and soft shadows.
It might be difficult to see, it is a subtle difference, but in game it makes a huge difference.

There are two exes.
Does it make any difference using one or the other?
I have a 64-bit Windows 10.
Can I get rid of the 32-bit exe without worries?
Other than that this game has always had a choppy behaviour for me. Many frame drops (from 60 down to 32) when entering a room or getting out into the streets. Stuttering is constant and doesn´t behave as smooth as other modern games. Even the older Thief and Thief2 are way smoother than this one.

Something similar to Thief: Deadly Shadows.
These two games are doomed for me.

There is really no reason to get rid of the 32 bit version, in fact it's a good idea to keep it around in case you were to run into issues running the 64 bit exe. Then you could verify any problems you encountered were 64 bit only, or consistent in both. If you're on a 64 bit system, then you should choose the 64 bit exe, or try both and see if one works better than the other for you and report your findings.

The 32-bit build still runs faster than the 64-bit.
The 64-bit build right now is mainly for mappers to compile HUGE missions.

TDM 2.06 has NUMEROUS performance optimizations. You should see improvements across the board.

Also, make sure to check out the performance tweaks wiki:

http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php...ormance_Tweaks

for ways to optimize further.

Stuttering is constant and doesn´t behave as smooth as other modern games. Even the older Thief and Thief2 are way smoother than this one.

Your rig seems to be decent for the resolution you use. As for performance, there are many factors contributing to that. Thief 1 and 2 have static (lightmapped) shadows, in TDM everything is dynamic. It is similar to Deadly Shadows, although it's more advanced in terms of the tech, and improvements made by the team. While mapping is easier than in Dromed, the engine requires quite a discipline when it comes to performance, and that's something mappers learn the hard way, usually. What you see as the end result is probably a sort of compromise.

That said, 2.06 should run a bit better now, just don't crank soft shadows all the way up

Also first loading times should be noticeably shorter.

**bassoferrol** · 28th May 2018 13:41

Changing to 32-bit exe was not much of an improvement. Perhaps 1 frame more per second.
As an example, mission pearlsnswine takes 95 seconds to load.
Is it too long for that mission or just about what should be expected according to my rig?
