BR 2011 Blurr issue

[Ratchet]

i am having a weird issue where the cars are really blurry compared to the rest of the mods (on the other mods i only use 1024's because of my comp's old age)

This happened to me too. Here's how to fix it. 1st navigate to your C\Papyrus\NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. 2nd Go to "rend_dxg" if you use nVidia or "rend_ogl" if you use OpenGL. 3rd Now open "rend_dxg" or "rend_ogl". Look for "TextureSetSize". Add THREE Zero's to the end of that number. Save it and close it. Run Bullring Cup and you'll have the same quality as Sprint Cup 2010

after TextureSetSize-1 add a -1

The issue could be with the car files. Running a full field of uncompressed 2048x2048 cars could be taxing on your system.

Try converting the cars to 24-bit compressed with Winmip2's Nr2003 Car File editor.

Good advice except that he said he only runs 1024s because of his system's age.

well, well, well well well..........that worked great, the onlything different then the 2010 cars is the quality of the lights etc.

thank you alot, it worked, looks good

P.S. I run 1024 for my Nvidia 6800 gtx Geforce, i do though have 2 gig of ram which can use the 2048's, but i do paint in 2048 for public and convert to 1024 for personal use

How do you drive your car looking back like that?

Thanks MidLEast have had this problem in mods forever!

 

[Ratchet]

after a while, now my game lags whenever i pass cars or am around 2-3 cars...it goes from 80 FPS to 10....not kidding, ive re-installed the game 2 times, and the mod 2 times aswell....

 

[Mystical]

Does the carset that comes with the Bullring 2011 mod have 2048 templates on the cars?

I have a similar frame rate issue with this mod. It's really strange because with the Bullring 2010 mod I have all my graphics tweaked to max plus stuff like the in the renderdxg.ini file maxed out as well and I easily get like 100fps in the 2010 mod. But with the 2011 mod I get like 10fps with the same exact settings. If the new mod has 2048 textures compared to the 1024 that could be the reason why.

 

[Ratchet]

well, my thought is no, because i did export one to see and its 1024, but yea, why doesnt the 2010 have this issue, only the new mod..really weird and dissapointing imo. the fps problem is annoying but, i know someone here can fix it, normally they fix everything here

Important Notice: After doing this (adding 3 0's to "TextureSetSize")BR Cup started to crash the game after 2 days i did this. I don't know why but I'm just letting that out there.

 

[Mo Neenja31]

-1? I think you mean 100

-1? I think you mean 100

lol....i thought he was trolling but idk...didnt wanto say anything..(no i didnt try -1 xD)

Benzer is right, -1 will correct your Blurr issue. I Know 30+ 2003 tweak and other Tweak sites and posts give big #'s. but this works.

Here is a copymy rend_dxg.

-1 does work, but when I did it it made my game freak out and lag something awful in the BR2011 mod. It looked amazing in the GNS mod, though!

My game freaked out when I added three 0's, but with the -1 it works perfectly. Thanks.

I think it has something to do with the "poly rate" I tried a lower # and I was getting stutter in the game so I went back to the originsl setting.

Also in your core_ini file if the the maxblocksize and the Poolsize don't match it can cause problems, It is more pronounced when your maxblocksize (memory x 1024) is above 524288.

Memory]
MaxBlockSize=1024000 ; max size before allocating separate block.
minPhsyMemWontUse=0 ; amount of physical memory to leave for the system.
NumEmptyPools=3 ; max # of pools to leave empty
PoolSize=1024000 ; default pool size
ShowMemStats=0

These are my settings. I have 2 gig of ram but am reluctent with going higher.

Setting TextureSetSize to auto (-1) causes page swapping, which is what causes the FPS to go nuts. Only people with ungodly systems can get away with it and even then, I doubt it with large fields offline or online after extended play.

The number is supposed to be an accurate account of the amount of memory the sim will try to use, so adding 000 to the end tells the sim you have much more memory available then you actually have, which again, causes crashes.

There is no easy fix to the blurry issues because they are caused by the modeling itself. The reason you didn't experience this in the first bullring mod was because it was created from the ss.net mod. This one has many characteristics of the rioux mod, so draw your own conclusions.

Hopefully they would update it but be realistic. If they aren't having problems with it in their league well ... they don't even believe in 2048 templates.

I ran a 200 lap race at Daytona with 43 cars with no issues yesterday offline. I've done several other shorter races also without any issues. Oddly enough setting it to -1 actually increased my FPS in races.
