  1. Toggle. Controls the preloading of all 3D

    model assets during game start, resume

    etc. This increases loading times as well

    as memory but the tradeoff is smoother

    gameplay when a scene with lots of

    models is rendered. See note above about

    using DXT compressed textures.

    Still.. doesn't make known how much memory and therefore I had no idea of the consequences.. not that it matters anymore, just stating the reasoning behind the mistake. Sorry.

  2. quote:

    NOTE: if using PRELOAD 3D MODELS you

    must have DXT compression turned on,

    otherwise only models will be preloaded

    and not their textures. This is due to the

    amount of memory (almost 1GB) which

    will be loaded during model preloading

    and which will cause an initial memory

    spike as the uncompressed textures are

    loaded.

    It talks about a memory spike. Yet no warning of the consequences of not meeting the requirements.. So, I just tried it to see if it would work because If it added "smoother gameplay" I was all for it, hehe.

  3. How do you turn Preloading off? I don't see it in the UCconfig File.. I turned it on (even after reading the config PDF file) but I didn't realize that I needed a crap load of ram for it to work.. I raised my Windows Page file to 2 Gigs to try and fix it so it wouldn't CTD in the middle of loading but it didn't work.. I've uninstalled -> Reinstalled once (but didn't restart in-between), I've downloaded both patches and installed them correctly (Shouldn't be the issue)..I can't get into the Game to fix it from there so I was just wondering where the switch is

  4. Yeah, I know.. I'm about to leave for a year and will not be able to play BC, the reason for the post was actually to check to see if you had any kind of quick fix or something I wasn't aware of. I am on a 56k so the patch d/l would take more time than I have. As I said though I just wanted to see if you had a quick fix cuz I was seeing how far I could get before I had to leave and my save-games kept freezing up. So, thank you for the effort and hope your success continues.

  5. Also, I would just like to thank you Mr. Smart (Smart indeed ) for your great series of games. I've loved them ever since I played the first BC3000 ad game . Even though I just got your UC game and can't run it cuz my Vid Card sux. It was the last one the nearest EB had, so I had to grab it anyway . Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and God bless.
