    Hi ! Here's how it works. The game decides what it wants displayed on screen, then shoots the information to the renderer. The OpenGL renderer takes things from there and we added a few effects hacks along... but it still has to display whatever the game sends to it. And the game was made...

    Who DAT Tapes? (August 11, 2012)

    Uncompressed video in what I think the WC3 movie resolution is (320 x 165) should be around 179Mb /minute according to a quick calculator I found on the net. Those DDS2 tapes can hold between 4 and 8 Gb of data depending on the tape's compression. According to your chart, you have two tapes...

    Ekapshi Model?

    WCIV Crashes on Startup

    sound question

    Hummm... your system specs are a bit low to use all the rendering options, it is quite possible your CPU gets taxed and the audio sync can't keep up.I would recommend lowering the rendering options little by little, in that order: First, make sure HDR is disabled. This option quadruple the...
