@youthenoob said in New monitor - Asus TUF Gaming 31,5" - problem to play SupCom:

As mac said:

• check the HDMI specs on your monitor and on the laptop. It will drop down to the lower spec. There is limited bandwidth and 144Mhz is a huge amount of data on that resolution. It might be that the laptop or the monitor doesn't support that refresh rate and that resolution for that HDMI spec. The Mhz means that 144 screens are sent every single second. Dropping it to 60Mhz is not noticeable unless you are playing twitch games.

The cable thing might not be an issue in other games since they are probably overriding the default refresh rate to whatever they can manage.

• Are you using the correct graphics drivers? Old drivers massively dropped the performance. The new ones have since fixed it. I believe the way to check for this would be to go into console ( ' ), then type d3d_WindowsCursor (Press enter). This will turn off the thing that was causing the performance hit.

• Another option could be enabling compatibility mode on your games. This should drop the system down to an older standard when playing the game. Be aware that Forged Alliance changed the settings after it closes. To get around this, I made a file that changed the compatibility settings before I run FAF.

Wow, you saved me. I solved the problem: the last NVidia driver... damn. Such a simple thing and I didn't notice this before at all.

Thank you Noob and Mac, you guys helped me a lot.

Yesterday I stayed all night long trying to solve the problem and today I was going to buy the displayport adapter that Mac suggested.

I updated the driver and boom, it worked perfectly. I didn't even need any changes at NVidia's panel to make it work and the best thing: all my games are running fluid now.

Just one last doubt: is there any gap between the 1.2 displayport cable that came from with the monitor and an adapter I may buy? I found an 1.8 adapter at Amazon and I don't know if I can buy it for two reasons:

1. If is there any gaps on adapter's use, 'cause the cable is a DP and my laptop's is a mini port (will I lose quality or something using the adapter)?

2. If is there any gaps if I use a higher or newer version of displayport adapter (to mini displayport) than that one from the monitor?

Thank you very much

Please attach the full log. It is difficult to read and to scroll in the thread. I have removed the wall of text.

Edit: I am using the same resolution as you. So it should work by default. The issue seems not related to resolution, which is some progress, I guess.

Thank you for your support, guys. How can I take the full log?

did you remember to run forged alliance without faf to set your preferences? (name and resolution etc)
you could probably import your preferences from your old pc, which would keep your hotkeys and templates

I didn't import. I mean, I tried to use my saved games inside my Steam's account, but for some reason didn't work, then I started to install all games again.

About FAF, yes, I did with regular SupCom (no expansion) and then with FAF, because sometimes the game allows me to enter with the standard 1024 x 768 res. I entered, set my profile name (SharkCode) and because the res was bad, I was trying to change it, but it didn't work.

@chenbro101 said in New PC - can't play - can't change the resolution - AMD:

@sharkcode Can you play any other games besides CS2? Are there any other symptoms you notice? Was your OS installed on a formatted drive? What OS are you using?

Yes. Since my new setup was ready yesterday, I started to play some games, but didn't have any problems. I didn't try some complicated games like some old ones as Imperium Galactica and Metal Fatigue (with them I had problems even with my laptop), but I didn't notice anything strange up so far. No lag, no rendering problems, very smooth. I'll try some other games.

But there is a good news. After my last post I could play. That DPI thing in the quoted thread seemed to work for me. I had problem trying other resolutions, but strangely with the 2560 x 1440 - 165 Hz it worked and I could play with not even one problem (I played only for about 15minutes - I'll test more today) and I didn't use any mods. I'll try with them in a minute. Now the game seems to be stabilized. It's very strange.

@chenbro101 said in New PC - can't play - can't change the resolution - AMD:

Ah I remember metal fatigue. Surprised someone else even mentioning it.

Yes, my friend. Metal Fatigue, IG2, Forsaken, Railroad Tycoon... I love some pretty old games hehe. It's a pity IG2 and Metal Fatigue were not continued. Love them both hehe.

Just to let you guys know: I have tested SupCom many times since yesterday and it's stabilized. I had no problems against AI and I played some big maps with 16 players. Everything seems to be working fine since that DPI thing.

Thank you very much for your attention. I still didn't play on-line, but I think the game will work nice.

Just one more thing: did someone change the fonts used in the game? I realized mine are a little messy and there are some phrases misconfigured in game lobby
