It's easy to see PSO2 for everything it does better - Fast paced fluid gameplay - More skill options for combat - More diversity when it comes to areas/monsters - Great character visuals customization (Outfits, character creator, etc.) But let's not forget everything it does worse - Cluttered...

Yeah, I was testing on a local server with the game frame limiter turned off. This allows me to see how many hundreds/thousands fps I can reach using my desktop GTX 1070. The result was always higher fps while using the plugin than not using it. This wrapper is mostly just proxying and not using...

1. Yes. People who used to play pso back in the days didn't have this option. 2. Yes. Quality of life is subjective. 3. No. In fact, I never turn it on and everyone who used to play with me were surprised they had so many more drops. If you don't need an item and it drops, someone else has...

Wooah nice one. I'm curious how this affects low end computers myself. But on my system, it seems to consistently yield much better performance than the stock game and I was already running on a dedicated gpu. This needs more testing as this could be bundled automatically on private servers if...

The original PSOBB used to use Gameguard which was a thousand times more intrusive than anything private servers will ever make. In fact, the original Gameguard had it's own kernel driver that installed on your system that persisted even after you completely uninstalled the game. The system...

Crimson Sea 2 on Playstation 2. The game has split screen co-op. Playstation 2 was around this era as well and the game looks very similar to PSO (They even have barriers, light spears, light sabers, you fight against alien-like creatures, etc.).

That's actually easy to do... on your own server. When you use custom skins going upwards in the skin id numbers loops through all the base character class skins. On default Tethealla, the /npc command prevents you from going into these values though (Most likely as a quick fix to prevent...

Of course, that is expected since alot of PSO textures are of a fixed size. It's never an issue with normal PSO draw distance since stuff disappear when you are further from them. Someone has to add proper mipmaps to the textures to resolve these issues. Adding the mipmaps is a small memory...

I think the misleading part is that there are two qedit1b versions around. You should try to find another download link. This version with UI scaling is probably buggy. Also, don't use the qedit update feature as of right now because it will also download this UI scaling version.

Just remember, reaching upload limit through softwares like GoogleDrive will affect network performance drastically. It will happen regardless of which computer/software in the network saturates the line. Even downloading performance is affected since it requires tcp handshakes and thus you will...

Considering all of sony slim consoles up to date have brought worse gaming experience than the original fat ones (slim consoles having massive fps drops in some titles). I don't know what to say about the ps4 slim although it seems they were released in reverse order this time around so I'm...

This may or may not be what you're looking for, but here's a start https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/wiki-for-developers.4577/

I'm talking about an overall solution, if it works well, people can include it to their own server. Of course, they won't add some alpha code to their own server which is why you have to test on a local server initially. We have already seen the proxy dlls being too slow (unless it's some...

Well nevermind that, I can most likely manage a true native directx9 port of this game given time (no dll or anything required). All I will need are testers able to run it on their own server. I started looking into this today and I already have alot of things mapped and fixed for dx9. On a plus...

Yeah, I just found out apparently the creator basically made it working with nvidia optimus so no need to do it using another dll however the perf loss is real on this game, I'm assuming cpu bottleneck due to the proxy overhead. I would say try the true original fullscreen mode, but I doubt...

This is most likely your best bet to get it working through dx8 proxy wrapper : http://enbdev.com/download_convertor_dx8todx9.htm Although, you'd probably still need to force it via dx hook setting the NvOptimusEnablement value as said before. Can't really make a proper dll and test it since I...

Wait, I just noticed there is nothing in nvidia doc specifying anything about directx8, it's all about directx9 and later which is most likely the culprit (older games). I do remember some wrappers to run dx8 games in dx9 but they weren't that great and usually the performance was worse lol

What's your nvidia driver version? Also, does your graphic card even work on a single game? I'm assuming you're not on Windows XP/Vista since optimus isn't supported correctly on platforms before Windows 7.

Have you guys tried updating your drivers through nvidia website? This sounds like a driver issue. As a stupid workaround, you could also try making a copy of the game exe with the filename bf3.exe and running this instead of going through the launcher (nvidia battlefield 3 profile). The exe...

That's actually an interesting idea. While a phone screen would be a bit small to play the game, it could perfectly run on a tablet computer as long as it's Windows compatible. One could simply add a touchscreen overlay to the game so you can control things without the need for external...
