KNOWN ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS.

[Pugware]

ROOM TO ROOM LAG---LOW---UNSTABLE FPS;

Go to the game's folder in steam, and change the following line in the options.ini file:

CreateTexturesOnDemand=1

Change it to:

CreateTexturesOnDemand=0


If it is already set to 0, please set it to 1 instead.

now save and close the file, the game should run fine now.
If still occurring please turn off in-game Vsync, this worked on multiple systems.





BLACK SCREEN ON STARTUP;

Yes, I did. I tried disabling my graphics cards one by one and kept changing the values in the options file with varying results. When the first option is not ticked i get a blackscreen (with the game running the menu just fine if i can trust the sounds, i can even start a new game and hear the intro music and the character hitting the ground.) sometimes it outright crashes after the pug.

Ticking the first option allows me start and gets me into the menu and all. With the Intel onboard card turned off (thus running on the nvidia 940m), i managed to get past the first dialog and into the knights body but hitting f10 confirmed that the fps hovered somewhere around 15 with the same freezing issue upon playing a new animation for the first time. I did get to leave the room tho but the game crashed when i happend upon a trap and presumably took damage / died.

Sorry for the long rambling answer, hope to be able to give you an insight of what might be causing this.

This makes no sense in terms of anything I got before. This level of systematic collapse for no discernible reason is beyond me. I really do hope you are below 2 hours use time because I cant help with this at all, you really need to get a refund. This is by far the worst issue I seen with the engine, and I'm completely out of ideas.

I just installed the game on my older office machine (i5 no dedicated graphics card), and after fiddling with the options for a minute it seems to be running fine (with an occasional stutter here and there, but nothing troubling at all). This is deeply weird. Im gonna dive in later today and report on how it runs. Thank you again for answering, i really like the setting so far!

Hi guys. I ended up getting mine refunded, but I'll probably come back now that I've tested out a solution in SiS and ended up getting it to work, after SiS had some initial, unplayable lag for me.

I opened up my nVidia control panel and noticed that my default had been set to the integrated graphics processor (almost always a bad idea) over the video card itself. I closed down the program, tweaked the app settings (and changed my global settings back to video card FIRST, since that got wiped during a reformat) and now everything's working like a dream, albeit a bad Lovecraftian nightmare with tentacles abound. Anyone playing on a laptop should probably double-check their own settings before proceeding, or if they have an integrated processor and a video card, make sure Usurper is using the better one.

Tried:
Change options.ini one by one 1 to 0 or vise versa, then few settings at a time.
With plugged or unplagged controller, with turned off second monitor/display.
Changes for each try Vsync to on and off.

With one changes i got smoother lags(less noticeable most of the time), with other changes lags get unbearable.
F10 show 50-60 fps (20)(30) ~ (30)(80), with tiny spikes, which take less than few letters, line in size less than number of fps. One half red, other half yellow.
With other settings show 400-2500 fps, with small to no spikes, but strong lags without Vsync, when with Vsync less laggy, but still not so playable.

Win 7 SP1 64bit;
CPU AMD FX-8350(4 Ghz, 8 cores, overclocked to 4.3 Ghz);
20 GB RAM;
Nvidia GTX 650 Ti(2 GB VRAM).
On my PC most of games work fine, even new ones.

Btw, that looks bit strange that game which in size ~900 MB use all free 1,7 GB of VRAM(that show MSI Afterburner), because old games or not so demanding usually use part of my VRAM, but not all of it.

[Pugware]

File size has nothing to do with ram usage. The game saves each room you visit, and vram usage is due to how big some of the rooms are. The game is not tile based but uses premade maps stored in smaller chunks of png files.

Did you try in-game vsynch? If yes that's the last I can think of.
In that cause I dont know, therefore I suggest you get a refund fast. Unfortunately I cant offer any further suggestions.

I'm having the exact same problem. The first option needs to be set to 1 else the game crashes after the Pugware screen. Tried all other combination, nothing seemed to work. The game freezes for a second every time some animation gets played for the first time. Once i examine the corpse in the very first room the game freezes in the following dialog as soon as the knight portrait shows up. I've been unable to get past the second dialog.

Edit: I'm on a Windows 10 i5 with a 940m

Thank you for helping me. Your game looks really great, dont want to be missing out!

I have these exact problems as well. createTexturesOnDemand=1 or the game crashes after the logo screen, then when in the game it initially runs poorly, then I get to the knights body and it will fail somewhere during the speech, sometimes the screen completely glitches out. I can click through the dialog and end up getting sounds of the character jumping and swinging a weapon, but nothing I do will cause the screen to display anything other than black/glitched textures.

As a side note, when using my xbox1 controller the analog stick doesn't work for navigating in sub menus (settings, new game options), but it works for gameplay and top level menus.

I requested a refund but just wanted to let the developer know that it's happening for others as well.

[Pugware]

Yeah I can't fix this, it's the engine breaking down under certain setups, mainly laptops with their integrated and or mobile videocards.

posting info that may be helpful to others: I got usurper working on a laptop from 2009 with 4GB of ram. I'm running win 7, so 2GB is more or less sac'd to windows.

How I did this:

1: moved tmp and temp folders to C:\

2: increased paging file to six digits (for me it was 320000MB you may want more if you can spare it)

3: turned vsync on in my desktop graphics setting / your gphx card settings

4: made 4 system environment variables as follows:

bufno 8768
bufsize 7689999999999
cachenum 8768
cachesiz 7689999999999

5. I made a shortcut of steam on the desktop

6. In shortcut properties in the shortcut tab in the target: text box, make it look like the following one line string by cutting and pasting as necessary:

"Yoursteamlocation"
-bufsize=327680000000
-bufno=4096
-cachesiz=655350000000
-cachenum=4096

With one space between each and yes those typos like "cachesiz" are supposed to be like that.

7. In the steam library in the usurper general properties in set lauch options put the following one line string with one space between each:

-bufsize=32768000000
-bufno=2096
-cachesiz=65535000000
-cachenum=2096

8. in the usurper options.ini put the following values:

CreateTexturesOnDemand=0
AlternateSyncMethod=2
VertexBufferMethod=1
SleepMargin=4

9. In usurper I put vsync to off

10. You may fall through the world just reload your save 2 or 3 times, it should fix itself

11. If any step was too vague or complicated just google it or ask for help on specific point numbers, Im rarely on, but other forum members will prolly help.

12. This worked for MY 10 y.o. laptop with 2GB of working ram. I cannot guarantee it will work YOURS. But I do wish you all the best of luck.

13. Pugware's Steve has put a ton of work into personally answering questions and bugs. In a lot kinder words and patience than I or most human beings would. Please be kind to him.

Hey I love SiS and this one is quite good as well but... I got stuck on the envirovement three times now and this in combination with the save mechanic lead to hous of progress lost. To be honest I don't know when I'll play more of it I just lost about 3 h of progress and am completly demoralized. Can we get a kill yourself function so this can be avoided?

After SiS gets updated and ported Usurper is next, Am I right to assume it opccured only on room transitions? Its a bug that has been occuring on some machines more than others, and I cold never consistently reproduce it to see whats causing it.
When I work on Usurper's big update for the port I will rebuild the whole transition system, that will eliminate it for certain. Sorry for the issues.

After I start the game and the point when the flesh monster thing falls and hits the ground the game freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-del to exit the game. I dont know if this is an issue with the game or if it's on my end.

You should try the changes mentioned in the OP. It did the trick for me on my PC. Unfortunately it might not work with integrated graphics
