READ THE README. SERIOUSLY Hey everyone. I wrote this at the request of Knjaz for 1.87 testers, however we feel that it would benefit the entire community if we released this publicly. This patch makes a few fixes (detailed in the ReadMe which you should really read) to Rise of the Reds which should improve performance significantly (if you read the ReadMe included as well) in Rise of the Reds 1.85 and 1.86, even with Knjaz's RGO patch (this patch is compatible with it). Download link: https://www.mediafire.com/?3dbpsmcwlk74c4k Also, READ THE README. SERIOUSLY

We finally had some games involving Russia & China with framerate levels that haven't been seen since Rise of the Reds 1.802. Good feeling, really good one. I remembered RotR like it once was.
And yes, information in readme is correct - on test map this thing provided up to 4 times FPS increase for Chinese and Russian secondary eco, depending on configuration. In our actual games, FPS increase is also massive. This post has been edited by Knjaz.: 7 Jul 2016, 20:28 |

as an example of the performance boost.
Without the patch on test map full of listening posts. Fps for me of 16 when all are deployed With the patch on the same map fps of 33 when all are deployed. -------------------- |

We just had a game , 2v2, where both China and Russia clocked over a Million credit, with relatively lag free match. It's glorious people.
Also I recommend everyone to turn off their 3D shadows, as it reduces the chances to get crashes + less lag. This post has been edited by Mizo: 7 Jul 2016, 20:36 --------------------  Not a Rusty Spoon........The_Hunter uses a goddamn wooden spoon on his AI Scripters.... |

and the issue with 3D shadows that was accidentally found during these tests too. Skitt and you probably had your longest tear gas strike streak without game crashing in last months
 Hopefully, if we manage to spread news and this thing among playerbase, game quality should improve massively, both due to reduction of crashes and vastly increased game speed. This post has been edited by Knjaz.: 7 Jul 2016, 20:37 |

Thats pretty huge. I have never thought that models can affect performance so significantly.

Not only that, but I stared at 5 Pandora shots without crashing, usually 1 or 2 would cause the next one to crash.

QUOTE (Hanfield @ 7 Jul 2016, 23:15) I helped too ;8 Yep, once again thanks for those tests, your pc was the best testing tool I could get on this issue.  And that game before where I lagged you out of the game with outposts alone was probably first turning point, as it forced me to start digging. |

Oh right. If you wish to test the performance changes for yourself.
Get Gentools, uncap your Frames per Second, and check these maps out with and without the patch. (obviously, you should unpack these 3 files into Maps folder of your C&C Generals Zero Hour Data folder where your Maps and Replays are, not the main folder where your RotR is intalled into) https://www.mediafire.com/?0wgd9kr0ljxfc45 This post has been edited by Knjaz.: 7 Jul 2016, 21:52 |

Wonderful news, guys! You deserve a medal for this one!
My question is, will this beauty be implemented in 1.87/2.0 and ShockWave? -------------------- |

I'm 99.9% sure that the old ugly (by today's ROTR standards) models won't be used in 1.87. However, with some additional research on why exactly the new models cause the FPS drops and the old ones don't, some optimization can be made, and 1.87 will keep the beautiful new models while having much better performance, like with this patch.

The Arms Supplier model is honestly okay, it just needs a new skin. No one really pays too much attention to them [unless they're fixing to nerve gas them]

Ok. Great to hear that. I haven't played RotR for a few weeks, but that's history now. This thing is revolutionary! KUDOS to everyone who participated in making this!

No wonder why whenever I play as Russia late game is always so laggy compared to before. This is great.
