Re: Game mechanics

Thanks a lot!

Question, how does SpaceCombat works? I tried it to see that it works but I had no enemy nearby. I assume that it's paused then I can choose a target as said in the documentation but am I allowed to choose which of my party emembers or is more of whole party choice?

Game mechanics

OK, I just started playing with Exult and I think I need some help. First, is there anything that can be analyzed to see weapon stats? Second, there's a hotkey in Exult for "pause combat" as space, when I press space nothing happens. How does that work? How does food work? I read on one of...

That's how it looks now, it seems about right. I think I still stick with Scale2x until I find something better.

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

You do have an i5, it's core architecture is much faster than my intel Q9450. In case everything in Exult is utilized by the CPU that could be the case. Other than that I don't know. However it's not an issue, Scale2x works just fine but I have a feeling that balancing GPU utilization with CPU is be...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

Ah, cool. It works, very impressive. I gather the scaling in OpenGL-HQ is utilized by the GPU then? However, the close up was a bit too much. I'm starting to feel like I'm nitpicking on every issue but the setup before this is about as perfect as I can get. Is there anyway I can get a zoom out with ...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

Oh wait, it says 320x200 in the config. It's because of scaler perhaps. I will try then with OpenGL HQ.

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

Lowest resolution I can choose is 640x480. Does it work if I put the numbers in the config file?

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

Not really. Point will keep the game heavily jagged and while I usually never bother with AA because of native resolution at 1080p but at this, it kind of needs it. Anyway, the mouse lag is completely gone if I use a scaler other than hq so I will use that if I continue to play. I'm curious though, ...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

If I use 1920x1080 resolution, fill mode and Scale2x I have no mouse lag and the jaggies are pretty much gone, Scale2x seems to be very close to Hq?x scalers but it seems to be quite less demanding in case their requirement is the issue of my mouse lag (hq?x scalers are the only ones that give that ...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

It's definitely the hq3x scaler and interesting, I didn't know there was a hq4x scaler. So these scalers aren't used by the GPU but by the CPU? It seems I've a few settings to try because I might be able to the mouse lag disappear but since those more demanding scalers make jaggies go away and sharp...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

I'm not sure how this thread turned into coding all of the sudden but what was it about OpenGl HQ? Was that to offset my mouse lagging in Exult or? It seems some people here and over att GOG have sort of convinced to try Exult after all. Apparently when an area of items disappear it will follow with...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

When you move the mouse it feels like something is make it jerky regardless of speed. I'm not sure I can describe it any better than that. Regardless of settings as well I might add. No matter what I do I've it in Exult but it's no deal breaker, just annoying. The item bug however..I just know if I ...

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

Speed isn't the issue really, I can change mouse sensitivity in the game's config, windows and on my mouse but that doesn't help the lag. I'm not sure why I have it but the typical feel from using VSync which I do but it didn't help to turn it off.

Re: Interresting bug

Are there no saves someone here has uploaded that has already fixed that in the beginning? It seems very risky for someone who is both new to Ultima and coding. Thanks for answer anyway, will probably settle for dosbox for now.

Re: Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

I'm fairly certain the mouse lag is Exult specific because I don't have it in any other including the original Ultima 7 (or well, without Exult. I use the GOG version).

I think I will settle for DosBox then because of the bug.

Re: Interresting bug

I seem to be late to the party but this workaround isn't specifically explained how to use it and I'm no programmer.

Anyone that tried it couldn't they just upload their configuration file or something like that for Exult?

I really want to play... :/

Performance, mouse, stability with Exult

I'm new to both Ultima and Exult and while I've read through some parts about the FAQ and the game (Black Gate) I'm still learning. Before I actually start to play I'm trying to fix controls and technical issues first because this seems to be a long and great game which mean I would prefer to avoid ...
