Re: [Release] ACE v1.0f

Post by UT Sniper (SJA94) »

I set fps limit with Direct3D9 render, and also XC_Engine fps limiter(at different times). If I play with highperftoggle off and set fps limit with either to say 60 it will still force 167fps, it feels like highperftoggle is on because the fps is a rock solid 167fps, not like when you use a fps limiter with it off where it jumps around a few fps over the limit. My netspeed is normally on 20'000, or 25'000 on servers that support it. This happens with and without XC_Engine installed, with xc_engine installed it appears to be impossible to go over 200fps, which is nice when I'm playing offline to stop the engine going nuts.

The highperftoggle option is only used to select the timing function ACE uses. Even when highperftoggle is off, ACE might still affect your framerate. The reason why ACE does this is to fix multi-core timing issues on the one hand and to block speedhacks on the other hand. That said, it is very much possible that ACE doesn't pick up your frameratelimit setting correctly. This is definitely the case for the XC_Engine frameratelimit because ACE doesn't know how to parse that one. The D3D9Drv one should be recognized, however. Could you paste your D3D9Drv settings so I can see what's going on?

Code: Select all

FLOAT UXC_GameEngine::GetMaxTickRate()
{
	guard(UXC_GameEngine::GetMaxTickRate);
	ULevel* ALevel = Level();
	if (ALevel && ALevel->NetDriver && !GIsClient)
		return Clamp( (&ALevel->NetDriver->NetServerMaxTickRate)[LanPlay], 10, 120);
	else
	{
		FLOAT Limit = 200.f;
		if( ALevel && ALevel->NetDriver && ALevel->NetDriver->ServerConnection )
			Limit = ALevel->NetDriver->ServerConnection->CurrentNetSpeed/64;
		else if (ALevel && ALevel->DemoRecDriver && !ALevel->DemoRecDriver->ServerConnection)
			Limit = Clamp( (&ALevel->DemoRecDriver->NetServerMaxTickRate)[LanPlay], 10, 120);

		//Limit FPS!
		if ( ClientFrameRateLimit >= 4 )
			Limit = Min( (FLOAT)ClientFrameRateLimit, Limit);
		return Clamp( Limit, 4.0f, 200.0f);
	}
	unguard;
}

Code: Select all

	else if (ParseCommand(&Cmd, TEXT("FPS")) || ParseCommand(&Cmd, TEXT("FPSLimit")))
	{
		while (*Cmd == ' ')
			Cmd++;
		INT Limit = appAtoi(Cmd);
		if ( !Limit )
			Ar.Logf( NAME_XC_Engine, TEXT("Current frame rate limit is %i, use 'FPS [4-200]' to specify a framerate limit."), ClientFrameRateLimit);
		else
		{
			ClientFrameRateLimit = Clamp(appAtoi(Cmd), 0, 200);
			SaveConfig();
			Ar.Logf(NAME_XC_Engine, TEXT("Client frame rate limit set to %i"), ClientFrameRateLimit);
		}
	}
Code needs a series of consistency changes and cleanups, but that's pretty much what it does.
Sleeping is left to the launcher, or ACE's Engine hook.

ack. What is the full type and context of the ClientFrameRateLimit variable? Is this variable exposed directly to UScript?

Helper func

Code: Select all

XC_CORE_API UProperty* FindScriptVariable( UStruct* InStruct, const TCHAR* PropName, INT* Found)
{
	FName NAME_PropName = FName( PropName, FNAME_Find);
	if ( NAME_PropName != NAME_None )
	{
		for( TFieldIterator<UProperty> Prop( InStruct ); Prop; ++Prop )
			if( Prop->GetFName() == NAME_PropName )
			{
				if ( Found ) //Useful when finding many props and checking all were found on a single test.
					(*Found)++;
				return (UProperty*) *Prop;
			}
	}
	return NULL;	
}
This is how I'm doing it to inform servers of client tickrate (a netcode overhaul that's coming for XCGE 24)
Just call

Code: Select all

Engine->GetMaxTickRate();
Spoiler

Code: Select all

	guard(UpdateRender);
	if ( Engine->Client->Viewports(0)->RenDev != RenDev ) //RenDev is our cached pointer, we're doing this because the game may be able to switch it
	{
		RenDev = Engine->Client->Viewports(0)->RenDev;
		RenDevTickRate = NULL;
		UProperty* TickRateProp;
		if ( RenDev	
			&& (TickRateProp=FindScriptVariable( RenDev->GetClass(), TEXT("FrameRateLimit")))
			&& TickRateProp->IsA(UIntProperty::StaticClass()) )
		{
			RenDevTickRate = (INT*) ((BYTE*)RenDev + TickRateProp->Offset);
		}
	}
	unguard;

Code: Select all

	//** This is a net client **//
	// Update TICKRATE on XC_Engine server
	if ( XCGE_Server_Ver >= 24 )
	{
		INT NewTickRate = appRound(Engine->GetMaxTickRate());
		if ( RenDevTickRate && (*RenDevTickRate > 4) )
			NewTickRate = Min(NewTickRate, *RenDevTickRate);
		if ( (NewTickRate >= 4) && (NewTickRate <= 200) && (NewTickRate != TickRate) && ((TickRate == 0) || (NetDriver->Time - LastTickRateTime > 0.5)) )
		{
			TickRate = NewTickRate;
			LastTickRateTime = NetDriver->Time;
			NetDriver->ServerConnection->Logf( TEXT("TICKRATE %i"), TickRate);
		}
	}




But if you wanna do it the hard way :loool:

Code: Select all

	new( TheClass,TEXT("ClientFrameRateLimit"), RF_Public) UIntProperty(CPP_PROPERTY(ClientFrameRateLimit), TEXT("XC_GameEngine"), NativeEditConfig);

Code: Select all

	static INT* XCGE_CFRL_Ptr = NULL;
...
	UProperty* XCGE_CFRL_Prop = FindScriptVariable( Engine->GetClass(), TEXT("ClientFrameRateLimit"));
	if ( XCGE_CFRL_Prop )
		XCGE_CFRL_Ptr = (INT*) ((BYTE*)Engine + XCGE_CFRL_Prop->Offset);

=====================
Oh yeah, did i tell you that when I switched to a Glide wrapper, ACE would kick me when going windowed due to Glide <-> Software change?
That was on v08h tho.

Hello

People are getting troubles with ACE after getting the last win 10 update (1903 build)
On the previous ace versions (ace 08) it says this: you have been kicked from the server because ace has found a corrupted file DDraw.dll
Image
On the newest ones (1.0) it says that any render file (.dll) is corrupted
Image
I guess after the update DDraw.dll was changed and it needs to be whitelisted in the ACE.
Can anyone help with that?

Thanks
