Thorfinn,


I just check in now and saw your question. Let me run my test in more detail later this evening and report back.


Yes .. I'm on Vista x64 on the first box .. and on the other box I am running XP (SP2). And I have two other boxes with AC on them that I can install your utilities on (another XP and Server 2003). All with different graphic hardware (ATI and Nvidia, 128Mb to 256Mb). All have DirectX 9.0c and the Vista is combine with Direct 10.0


I also can get you a Decal export too if needed.

Additional note since I had a chance to check my third computer. It's a Server 2003 with AC (P4 2.4Gz 1Gb(ram) with GeForce 7800 GS 256Mb). And the problem is just like the other 2 computers with XP and Vista.


What's interesting is that it is a consistant 40% drop with RadarAddOn .. no matter what other Decal is activated .. or ALL NOT activated .. and what OS it's running on. If RadarAddOn is activated, a 40% drop occurs on all 3 of my computers.


It did not matter the version, 1.00, 1.2.0.11, or 1.2.0.12 of RadarAddOn.


I could not find ANY connection to the MiniMap and the framerate lost .. NONE.


BTW .. I was thinking it was cause by the HUDs .. I'll take that back. It is NOT. (Not the 40% part.)


All Decal utilities have "some" impact to the framerate. The more utilities you run, the more impact. Nothing new there. And the impact from RadarAddOn was liveable till I notice how much. It explained some bumpyness I had experiance in some places.


Question: Will AC+ run without RadarAddOn? What functionality is lost with AC+ when RadarAddOn is not in the background for support?


And again .. THANKS for the support of our questions!!

related question - does MiniMap work without RadarAddon? Mine doesn't seem to do anything

ok nm figured that out.


framerate prob sucks =/

AC+ should work fine without Radar Add-on, you just won't be able to see attackers on the radar, or highlight creatures on it. What might be worth trying, is see if AC+ causes much slow down- it's got 4 hud itself I'd be curious to know if they're slowing it down as well.
