NeoEE Independant Installer
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2023 9:18 pm
NeoEE (EE:AOC) Has to 2 installer options.
Default and Custom.
When you chose the custom option, there appears to a few areas of additional options to chose from.
Whilst some of those are simply additional in game content.
One that is most interesting and the one I am having issues with is the DirectX option.
By default Direct 9 (DX9) Wrapper is installed as the game is a DX9 game.
Yet there are 4 more options:
1 x DX9
2 x DX11 (10 and 11)
2 x DX12 (11 and 12)
I have tried installing with the 2 DX12 options and both times when loading the game, the mouse will simply not move whatsoever.
Both times I reverted back to the default installation (DX9) and the mouse moves in game without an issue.
To save me constantly uninstalling & reinstalling to test DX10 and DX11.
Can someone please advise the following:
What benefit does the various DX versions give?
Does selecting a newer DX version fix or alleviate any in game issues (such as FPS dropping over time in an Online Lobby Game).
Does it provide any additional graphics upgrades etc.?
In respect to the FPS drops in game. It is one of the most frustrating parts about the NeoEE independent installation of the game.
Anywhere from 20mins to 45mins into the game I watch my FPS sitting at an average of 60FPS drop down to 10-14.
Essentially making the game a slideshow as well as commands given to units can sometimes take up to 2 minutes for the units to respond to those commands.
Only way around this I have found is I have to save the game with the people I am playing with.
Completely quit out of EE back to Windows Desktop
Reload the game and the save game etc.
One of my friends is reporting the same issue.
In terms of Graphics Performance, an nVidia GTX1080TI is definitely not an issue to run this.
So would the DX9 be the issue here due the age of that DirectX Version and what the new Gfx cards are more designed for? (EG DX11/12).
