Kudos on the 3D, write up improvements!

gglennwill · 03-24-2017, 01:30 PM

I just downloaded the game on Steam, imported my leagues and played my first game. I have to give kudos on the improvement in the 3D. To be honest, I never used 3D in OOTP 17 as it was still too klunky and was way off of the play by play. I used 3D in my first game with 18. Wow! The movements were fluid and natural, whether it be baserunning or fielding. It was much more exciting to follow the action than in 17. I didn't see the crowd moving but I was using historical fields so that's probably why. I'm switching to 3D mode from now on. Also, I haven't heard anyone comment on the automatic write-ups for each game; they have definitely improved. I see more variety, and more focus on records, stats and achievements of both the teams and the players. Plus there is just more variety. So Kudos to Marcus and the whole team; you continue to deliver a product that just gets better and better!

3D is unplayably slow on my laptop. Must be my computer if it's working for others.

Yeah, I keep reading that from several users, but it worked fine on my laptop.

High end gaming computer here and 3D stutters like a strobe light. Unplayable ATM.

Can you let us know your system's specs, especially your video card?

Also, just check and make sure the video card drivers are up to date.

It seems to be working fine for the majority of people, but there are definitely a few that are having issues. We're working on it to try to figure out why that is.

Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHz
16GB RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, Driver version 378.92 (released 3-19-17)

Game stutters pretty badly with both pawn settings. '17 ran very smoothly.

edit: I said it's unplayable but that's a bit too harsh. It's ugly but I can live with it until a cause is figured out.

Thanks! We're working on it.

My laptop is 4 years old and runs 3D like a champ - check your antivirus software

So BitDefender's autopilot mode does seem to make a huge difference. Turning that off basically gets rid of all of the stuttering.

This is literally the first time in 15 years of computer gaming that "check your antivirus" has actually ever done anything for me.

Video Card?

Also, as mentioned above, check your anti-virus! Even try turning it off and see if that makes any difference. Same with any other programs running in the background while OOTP is running.

Turning off anti-virus software made no difference.

FWIW, even with bitdefender autopilot off certain games and possibly certain stadiums are still very choppy.

BTW, OOTP17 works fine on this computer.
