My Dirty bomb so laggy


(artisticWonder) #1

Well as i said in the title My Dirty bomb so laggy and could not be played
I thought it was because my PC wasnt meet the requirement etc but of course i research before downloading this game and my Notebook HP 431 pass the requirement which stated in this link http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=6095&game=Dirty%20Bomb

Please help,never play this before and it looks fun

even with the best i5 offered, the graphics may be a little low end for optimum playing at this time, more optimization coming soonish®, wait and see

Hi.

What specs do you have?
Dirty Bomb is built on the Unreal Engine 3 hence it’s quite CPU intensive.
Notebooks can struggle because they generally speaking deliver less performance than a desktop pc for the same money.

Lower your video settings as low as possible and make sure the following are set to off in the main menu:

Windowed
V-Sync
Thread Sync (in the advanced settings at the very bottom)

The two steps I have described in the spoiler below will make the game look potato but can potentially increase your fps count.

[spoiler]1. Open the console by pressing ~ and type in texturepoolsize 1
This limits the available graphical ram to 1 MB.

  1. Furthermore you can lower the ScreenPercentage number in the ShooterEngine file.
    This changes the rendering resolution.
    You find the ShooterEngine file located at

Documents > My Games > UnrealEngine3 > ShooterGame > Config

Setting it to 50.000000 makes Dirty Bomb look like this.

Set the file to read-only so that the game doesn’t overwrite your change.[/spoiler]

Good luck! :slight_smile:

What OS are you using? Are you sure you’re not having DPC problems?

Have you checked T H I S thread, documenting my issue since summer squash III?
