Did they fix the OpenGL crashing FMB memory leak?

Cheers, MP

do you have antialiasing in the catalyst software?

[Mysticpuma]

Anti-aliasing is
Level AA 8x
Filter = Box
Samples = 8

BTW, FMB in OpenGL seems okay, no crashes or slow-down yet! Cross-fingers?

Old conf.ini was:

Now it is the same as Flanker's and all running smooth.

But what does Vertex Array actually do?

Cheers, MP

[Qpassa]

Idk why It doesnt works fine with my PC, ill check tomorrow, thanks 4 the conf

[Flanker35M]

S!

You can use both VertexArrays options if you set DynamicalLights=1 to 0. I saw no difference in lighting but the "blue hue" was gone. I asked about this vertex array thing from a friend, understood bits here and there but basically it should improve performance.

Hello guyz

With 9.10 OGL driver in game folder, Myself prefer to use next lines and retain Water=2 - it is shame to loose it..
TexCompress=2
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1
Both lines help v.card to render at more ease with unnoticeable effect for me,shame to admit that with 5870 we need it but it works
LandShading=2
Some cloud shade lose - more realistic for me and 10% FPS up at least

LandShading=2 Update:
Also eliminates shadows from explosions dirt and smoke,I'm back to LandShading=3
