Crash after adjusting graphics settings

[Bazingarrey]

I really want to play this modpack, but not beign able to adjust the graphics for optimal performance is absurd.

Can you send me the file user.ltx from the appdata directory. It contains the settings after you changed the graphics settings. Also, please attach both the .scoc and the .scop file of your savegame. The .scoc file you are attached is only one half of the save game.

[SeargeDP NA]

Two questions: a) did the game work before you changed the graphics settings? | b) does starting a new game (instead of loading your save) with your changed settings work, or is it also crashing?

[Bazingarrey]

It works fine untouched, but when i adjust it, it crashes. although i can adjust anti-aliasing the way i want with no problem

[SeargeDP NA]

That's really strange. I've just tried to load your save with your settings and it works without problems for me. Can you try replacing -smap4096 with -smap2048 in the .bat file and try again? Also, if you didn't already, download update 1 from moddb and use it, it reduces the system requirements a little bit

[Bazingarrey]

I already installed the update. Also, i played around with the settings a little bit, i can adjust everything without any problem except i can't lower "Texture Quality" because it will say in the log that textures are missing, which is weird. I just want to lower this a little bit so i can reduce VRAM usage, currently it's 1990-2000 and i have a 2GB Video card.

[SeargeDP NA]

Can you replace appdata/user.ltx with this and tell me if that works?

Didn't work, not even the "smap" thing. Still complains about missing textures.

[SeargeDP NA]

Is it only complaining about missing textures or do you get crashes? It's possible that those textures are also reported missing with highest settings.

[Bazingarrey]

It crashes whenever i lower Texture Quality, and in the log it say missing sky textures and "pfx_glow_shot_006".

[SeargeDP NA]

Ok, I don't have a setup here to reproduce it. But when I get home this evening, I'll test it in my development setup. Hopefully I can get it to crash in the debugger and find/fix the cause of the crash.

[SeargeDP NA]

Unfortunately I still can't reproduce it. Could you also send me the file axr_options.ltx from the directory gamedata\configs, hoping that something in there might help me to trigger the issue and find the cause.

[SeargeDP NA]

Ok, progress. I could now reproduce a crash. I still have to figure out how to fix it, but at least I have something to work with now.

[Bazingarrey]

That's good to hear

[Bazingarrey]

Played around the texture quality again, i can play on "Low" "Medium" and "Ultra" quality, except on "High" or "Very High" which leads to crash.

[SeargeDP NA]

Ok, I've found a solution (hopefully) and will integrate it in the upcoming, 4th update. Let me know if the problem is fixed or not once the update is available and you had time to test it.

[Bazingarrey]

Yes, it has been fixed, you did a good job!

[SeargeDP NA]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. And now, enjoy the pack and get out of here, Stalker!
