Salem performance

[sudoGG]

so, can anyone tell me how to unistall all the clients and start again to check if with a fresh install works fine?

thanks again!

[Synnestry]

It can? maybe I just didn't poke around on ender enough with the crop and tree scaling, chat font size etc? I'll have a relook at it then, can't hurt!

Tinker with the code. It's really fun if you are into it.

Ah, I see. Def. will give it a go then, love breaking stuff in the process of fixing it!

Just unistall them the same way you uninstall other programs under ..Add/Remove programs? Prob would do that, reboot computer, download the client you want and go from there.

Start > Run > Salem
Delete directory, that should do

You can turn off the nice looking water and shadows in the options menu, that usually helps.

anyone know the command to show fps?

anyone know the command to show fps?

You need to start the game with -d parameter. Then you'll see fps in bottom left corner.

Create run.bat file inside youruser/salem/bin/

for latikai:
"java.exe" -Dhaven.resurl="http://game.salemthegame.com/res/" -Dhaven.defserv="game.salemthegame.com" -jar lsalem.jar -d

for ender:
"java.exe" -Dhaven.resurl="http://game.salemthegame.com/res/" -Dhaven.defserv="game.salemthegame.com" -jar salem.jar -d

You might have to put in whole java path instead of just "java.exe" if you are on the win xp by any chance.
Like: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe" instead of just "java.exe"

As for fps. I was getting whole 6-14 fps in my town on 2,2ghz processor(the most annoying thing wasn't really fps but the stuttering. Every 1-2sec game wouldn't refresh/render for 0.1-0.3sec causing really annoying stuttering). I'm not playing anymore but after changing CPU I jumped in to check the fps.
Currently I have AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE (3,2ghz). Fps in my town is at 16-18. With all gfx options on its 12-18. (no stuttering). Overclocking CPU to 3,8ghz gives me whooping 1-3fps boost. The fps I said right now are taken from my memory so they might be slightly wrong. I tested it like 2-3months ago.
CPU usage on old cpu was max (25%. Had 4 cores).
CPU usage on new cpu was 20%-25% so 1 core operating at 80-100% most of the time.

I did testing in my village instead of Providence as in main town we have different ammount of players each minute. And it really can drain your fps to the bottom =)

PS. I'm not sure about gfx card usage anymore. But I recall it was quite low. Graphic card is AMD HD 7670 1024mb.
At one point loftar was trying to help me with the stuttering and fps problem but it didn't really bear fruit =p

Salem works much much better with nvidia cards than with amd. For amd lots of graphic stuff is being handled by cpu instead of gpu. Cause of amd 'awesome' support for opengl

PS2. If you have the stuttering i mentioned before. You can probably fix it at least for wilderness. Just install smaller tiles graphic mod(if there is one still avaible these days). 32x32 or 16x16 tiles instead of default 128x128 (i think thats default res of them) ground textures will help a lot

If you have problems with fps
I have to admit the terrain takes a massive ammount of resources, which makes the game VERY SLOW (needs a fix)
if you install this textures you will see a huge improvement, you can delete some of the textures in the folder to play the way you want to play, e.g. Delete the autumn forest textures if your base is in an autumn forest. Keep desert, crag, beach textures if you only see those in providence.

you don't need to do anything to "purge" my client: simply starting ender's version using his loader will use the files from his client. If you really want to delete the actual files, you can find them in ~/Salem/bin.
