SpaceForce: Rogue Universe

What works

Everything, once the video options are set. See below.

What does not

I  have a GeForce 8800GT videocard. The following may or may not apply to other cards:

1) I am unable to start the game unless shadows are toggled ON in the video options.

2) Choosing 32-bit color results in a 92%+ framerate hit (down to 10fps from 120fps at hi res). For that kind of difference, 16-bit looks just fine :)

3) I get a white screen unless Pixel Doubling is toggled OFF in the video options.

Additional Comments

True Gold status. Works flawlessly once the video options are set properly. As a guideline for others: I get 55-65fps at 1680x1050 resolution with everything set low and/or off. With everything set high and/or on, I get 45-55fps. (The 120fps I cited above was achieved at 1024x768, but I don't remember what I had enabled at the time). The Post Effects toggle accounts for the lion's share of the 10fps difference. -- (admin:update by: Jim Newland on Tuesday March 3rd 2009, 12:28 In my test report above, the data I cited in #2 of What Does Not Work is incorrect. I said 32-bit color gave me a 92% framerate hit at high res. In actuality, it was an 84% hit at low res (down to 20fps from 120fps at 1024x768). The ratio was the same at high res (down to 10fps from 60fps at 1680x1050).)
