Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports - Video Issues
I had the same problems as CRM114 described above - screen going wacko. This problem usually made itself apparent when I would open new windows in the game. My FPS would drop from 30 to less then 10 after opening a window.. when fps got down to around 7 the screen would flip out. I tried turning the memory to safe mode as described here but that didn't work - had problem where it would only show have the screen. Tried limiting the game to one processor core as described with no help. I'm running the game at 1900x1200 @ 32bit - changing resolution or color depth did not seem to do anything. My laptop is a Dell XPS M1710 with 2Gig with a GeForce Go 7900 GTX (512mb of vid mem) - So this is not a weak video system. (Tried multiple drivers - even beta).
I found that if I turned the Anti Aliasing off, it boosted my fps up to around 55, which pretty much fixed the problem. Also switching from 2x, 4x, or 8x to 2xQ or Application controlled worked. However, application controlled seemed to turn off the Anti Aliasing. So the best option seemed to be 2xQ, however, oddly - the game looked a bit better with it off (seemed to flip off and on when you went over the menus in 2xQ). I find it very odd that a single window will decrease the fps by 20 in any of my scenarios. This problem needs to be corrected. -- Morphh
