Wolfenstein: The New Order Teased

Because various countries have beef when Nazis are mentioned for some reason. I'd like the think the world is old and mature enough to simply get over it by now.

As far as i was always aware Nazi's and zombies were always fair game for killing in games with no real offense to anyone.
 
It's more the Nazi symbolism in the games that's usually censored.
 
It's slightly disappointing to see Wolfenstein get sensored because of Nazi symbols, when you have games like CoD that ravage the stereotype of USA slaughtering all the Korean/Chinese/Russian's in every single game without any twinge of shame.

We need more games like Spec Ops: The Line where we get to play as Americans who kill Americans, and show war for what it really is.
 
Hi



From what I do not see in the configs; res is hard coded. res needs to be set ingame [have searched for hidden .ini and .cfg] resolution dose not appear to be linked to the .cfg

[Edit: Found it change line r_mode 16 to r_mode 19 =1080p
( Note: may not support resolutions beyond this; maybe r_mode 25 = 2560*1440 16:9 however I am unable to test this with my current rig so proceed with caution)

Other members of the TPU community may have more knowledge of this

i can't test it now, but in 2hours and 40mins i am off work so in about 3hours time from now i will be able to test this, can't do it sooner sry.
 
Spec Ops: The Line

I didn't beat it, didn't care for the gameplay, but I was enjoying the story and its attempt to do something a bit different. I've never liked CoD's storylines when they tried to be bigger than the "now". The airport scene came off as contrived to me, more than making me feel anything or have deep thoughts.

Maybe a nOOb question......but
where exactly do you put "jobs_numthreads 8"

I cant find any WolfConfig.cfg............

Is it in Steam "Set Launch Options" for the game?


Anyone having trouble getting it to use more than 2 threads of your CPU? Guy over at OCN demonstrated that adding a line of code in the config file allowed the game to use all 8 of his threads on his CPU.

Line of code is:


Where the number (8) is the amount of threads your CPU has.

Heres result of adding that bit.

C:\Users\#UserName#\Saved Games\MachineGames\Wolfenstein The New Order\base\wolfConfig.cfg

Example:
WolfComfig.cfg.jpg
[make the .cfg read only]

Note: I got game hitching when setting this to "8" so lowered it to "4"

We will need someone to sum up what settings produce the best ingame quality.

The posts i read before have too many things tweaked at the same time : there's no way to find out which ones are really usefull.
 
Kudos for showing the exact command string with seta there, because that's probably why some are not getting it to work.

I'm installing the game now, so I'll soon see what I can do with multi core and graphics tweaks.

BTW, has anyone tried the 8 core command with an i7 4 core using HyperThreading? I was planning to just run the command at 4 cores with HT disabled, which is my default way of setting up my PC. HT virtual cores are effectively only half the power of physical cores.
 
I guess I'm in the minority who think this game looks dated as hell?

4 should be fine; using a i7 4820k seta_jobs_numthreads "4" here [had hitching when set to 8]

Did you have any expectations ?
Its Wolfenstein. Is it normal to have low expectations now for games? I didn't have super high expectations but this game is beyond sub-par in the graphics department IMO.
 
Try DxTory, it's WAY more full featured than Fraps and can simultaneously write to more than one drive at a time in it's RawCap mode. With this feature you can play the game at full FPS while capturing at 30 FPS.

Here's a great video tutorial a guy did on YouTube:


I can't believe this game is over 40 GB in file size with mediocre textures.
Miliris Action is one of the best game capture software i've ever used

For the first time I feel justified to have an AMD CPU with eight cores .... for a game that is..... it runs perfect - no hitching at all :toast:
 
Hi,

Up early wondering is there no way to force ultra settings with a 2gb video card?

Thanks.
 
I wouldn't bother, you'd be hitting the paging file heavy. I have everything maxed and hit 2.99GB VRAM usage.
