Improving Renegade's Performance
Sunday - June 18, 2006 (08:41 AM) by Lion
Renegade
For those of you who continue to play C&C Renegade, you might want to check out http://www.understorm.net/rend3d9/ that offers the 'RenD3D9 Project' to help improve your gaming experience.
The RenD3D9 project makes C&C Renegade use Direct3D 9.0c instead of Direct3D 8.1. And adds certain optimizations to gain extra FPS and faster loading times on certain NVidia cards. Also comes with a new wwconfig to configure the additional features.
Check the http://www.understorm.net/rend3d9/ for more info and the download.
|
Supported Hardware:
Certain Intel hardware is supported aswell, let me know if they work out for you.
* ATI Radeon 8000 series
* ATI Radeon 9000 series
* ATI Radeon X000 series
* ATI Radeon X1000 series
* NVIDIA GeForce 4 series
* NVIDIA GeForce FX series
* NVIDIA GeForce PCX series
* NVIDIA GeForce 6 series
* NVIDIA GeForce 7 series
I tested this patch out for a bit on my XFX GeForce FX5200. With Anti Aliasing 4x and Antistropic Filtering 8x enabled I got 130 FPS.
Before I installed the patch I used to only get 80 FPS with Anti Aliasing and Antistropic Filtering disabled.
So a worthy patch to have installed. I did not, however, test it during online play.

I tried it with my GeForce 7300GS and it removed all the text and my cursor from the screen.. I'll try installing the version of DirectX that was linked to but I already have 9.0c..
Edit: It will only work in windowed mode for me.. 
And what kind of changes would I be able to see? I have everything set at the highest level normally so I don't see much of a difference.. :S

Did you check to see if your card was one of the supported cards on the list?

will this work on the FX5200 PCI cards too, or just AGP/PCI-e?
|
It works on either AGP or PCI versions of each of the supported cards.

Will this work on a GeForce 2 MX 440 64 Mb/will it be worth downloading?
I know it's a slow card, but my 9800 Pro burned out, literally, on me a couple months ago.

Umm... I'm guessing the GeForce 7300 is included in the NVIDIA GeForce 7 series so I'm pretty sure that it's supported..
I like playing in windowed mode anyways, finally I'm able to use VSync while playing windowed mode(my renegade freaks out when it gets over 90 fps so I use VSync to keep it stable) so that's pretty cool.

Well, for some weird reason the game crashes right after I load. I got the newest DirectX and everything.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just needed to reboot. I tested it online and it works fine, but I don't even see any difference. My FPS is the same as it always is at those settings.

Vertical Synchronization is an option found in many games that allows the frame rate of the game to be matched to the refresh rate of the monitor. Generally, allowing VSync provides the greatest stability, but turning it off can allow for much higher frame rates.

Most people don't even notice, but it bugs the crap out of me if it's off. By tearing I mean you actually see lines across the screen between frames. it's kind of hard to describe, you have to see it. I don't know why almost everyone doesn't even notice, but I see it so easily.
