LAA problem

[SadisticSid]

When I started getting 0.2FPS on my 6GB Core i7, GTX 295 box I read the suggestion to turn on LAA. This fixed my problem straight away, or so I thought. But this has caused the opposite thing to happen in other sectors which were once problem-free!

For exmaple if I turn on LAA and run the game, I can visit Heretics End with no problem. But Paranid Prime is a slideshow. If I turn off LAA then Paranid Prime works properly, but Heretics End is screwed.

I suspect this is to do with the fact that LAA has been both on and off inside the same game and has introduced some weirdness in my saves. I really don't want to have to restart my game to fix this. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem, or am I doomed to exit and restart my game when I want to visit certain sectors?

My guess is the LAA flag is a red herring....

Q1) What version of the game are you running?

Q2) Do you have any complexes in either of those sectors?

Q3) Are either of those sectors subject to extreme amounts of traffic in your game?

Q4) When you get the SPF issue what happens if you turn your ship so that there are no stations/ships in view?

Q5) Are there any ships fighting in either sector? (PBE kills the frame rate at least in 2.5 and prior)

It doesn't work like that (as far as I know, anyway).

I also used LAA patch and I got a beatiful "***Modified***" tag on my player stats, im very dissapointed because of that, they should advice it could happen.

If you DIY the LAA you will not get the Modified tag... it sounds like the LAA Patch you used is also a mod.

I used apatch yes, I get the link from the forum, No way I can modify the LAA myself....

[Carlo the Curious]

You should ask in the thread you got the patcher from, but as far as I'm aware it shouldn't tag your game as modified.

I just used the patcher the other day... didn't get a modified tag.

If you have an nvidia Video card you can run LargeAddressAware w/o 1FPS sector entry bug by opening 3d control panel, x3tc settings, set Maximum Pre-renedered Frames to 0 or 1. If you have an ATi, I have no idea what the corresponding 3D setting is . ..
