Petrosky Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 By changing my power settings to High Performance i was able to stop all computer locks and prevent 90% of game crashes. Hope this will help someone else, Might be the way the sim is using the cpu? Petrosky!
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 S! I always disable any power savings etc. Useless features unless you are running a laptop.
SYN_Bandy Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I've heard this before, sometimes the power saver settings are not overridden by games. Not the games fault, but Windows. Also make sure your GPU power setting is set to 'Performance', such as in nVidia Control Panel, or ATi equivalent... Edited October 29, 2014 by SYN_Bandy
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 S! Only thing on AMD you could do, to override any power savings, is to disable ULPS(Ultra Low Power State). Otherwise the card should go to full power/clocks when starting a game, preferably full screen.
Livai Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Useless features Windows timer why you slow down my CPU and Graphiccard? Its time to reset you to get 15-20% more FPS http://www.lucashale.com/timer-resolution/
Livai Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 S! Does that thing work, Super? the tool works if the game has a windows timer bug! If not you wasted $10.00.
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 S! And does BoS have it? If so, would it be easier for devs to fix it or just shell out 10 bucks and be over with it?

A very good Question for the Devs! Is there a Windows Timer Bug? Good to read http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1075781-tweak-enable-hpet-in-bios-and-os-for-better-performance-and-fps/
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 S! Turning that HPET on in windows had no adverse effects so may as well stay on. Thanks for the tip! I wonder if there are other tips and tricks like that?

Or similar technology, which allows video card switching in runtime?
TG-55Panthercules Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I tried the HPET thing - did not see anything in my BIOS about it but saw it in my Device Manager and disabled it there. Rebooted and ran some benchmark RoF missions, then turned it back on, rebooted and ran them again. I did not see any differences whatsoever, so I've left it on for now. If it looks like it might help with BoS in some way, I'll probably try turning it off again to see what happens.
