Hello,

Was playing on some new maps and i found out that they use alot of GPU. But why does map iw_credits

use alot of GPU since its the "smallest map in-game" now? My friend cannot even connect to Burger Town with Texture settings on Medium (he get Texture error, Automatic texture setting solved that for me). He can only connect with low Texture settings. As for iw_credits whenever i go to desktop and back into-game game crashes (DirectX error) already tryed to re-install DX but it didnt fix. As for other maps never get that error. Its a bit wierd since many maps are bigger and have alot more objects but they dont crash.

 

BTW these new maps are EPIC good work! Looking forward to play on them.

How much RAM does he have?

iw4_credits still has a level dependency.

It doesn't use noticeably more GPU, just RAM, for as NTAuthority stated it requires another level to be loaded simeltaneously with it. If you have anything less than 4gb of RAM, I highly reccomend turning all textures to minimum when loading a custom map.

Besides RAM, new maps also demand a lot from the hard drives.

If the hard drive is not fast enough to load the new maps fastfiles, users will get the error about "server is for low ping players only".

Most people I know (including myself) can't join a server while it's running maps such as Invasion or Contingency. I'm able to play though, if I'm already on the server when it moves to those maps (some other people timeout though).

I've been trying things like removing the ping limit dvar from the server, putting it to astronomic values, etc, but with no luck. If the server is running on certain maps, people just can't join the server.

 

And yeah, I had to (finally) move from x86 4Gb of RAM to 8Gb x64 to be able to atleast load those maps.

But it was worth it Xetal's socks are awesome! lol

So do i and it doesent lag but when i go to desktop and back in-game i get DX error. Probably becouse it runs another level at same time. Like as if you have another game in background or running skype (i do) or Xfire. I heard if you run Xfire and Mw2 at same time you get DX errors at almost every level. And whats up with 2D texture error (dunno what the whole error sais). if I have textures on Expert my game works normally with 60 FPS. But when loading I get that 2d error, run out of memory. So is there a command to make allow mw2 use more memory?

If sv_maxping is 0, that won't happen.

You have 4Gb of RAM, just like I had, and you're getting that error, just like I used to. I also had 4Gb of RAM on my laptop, and it loads fine. Difference is that I got all graphic settings set to extremelly low on my laptop. Get some more RAM on your computer if you want to load the maps with your default graphic settings.

 

If sv_maxping is 0, that won't happen.

Thanks!

Didn't remember to try "0". Thought it was the same as quoting out the command, (thought the default was 0=disabled) but guess not

Only if you have rcon access or server access of course.
