The FPS drops happen because the thread that runs DirectInput massively slows down after a while (as can be seen in tools like ProcessExplorer). The library is ancient and should no longer be used today, because there are other ways to get mouse and keyboard input, especially for games. User input in games like FEAR can be realized via DirectInput, an API by Microsoft for interacting with HID-Devices. The fix is implemented using a common technique known as DLL hooking. This is the only way to load multiple (conflicting) files.

Just create a corresponding folder in the install directory of the mod.

The mod will also automatically load all DLLs regardless of their names in a dinput8 sub-directory. Using this method will lead to an error if the renamed DLL is not itself a dinput8.dll. Just rename the DLL you want to load accordingly. The mod will load another dinput8.dll automatically if it has the name dinput8.dll.

Note that there might still be compatibility issues between the different fixes, mods or injectors that have nothing to do with the loading process. To increase the compatibility with other mods or injectors that are using a wrapper DLL, this fix offers two methods for remote loading of additional files.

If you lack the trust in random people on the internet - and I would not blame you - feel free to use a meta online virus scanner like VirusTotal to verify the file. In that case, it might be necessary to add an exception rule to the scanner. Since this mod consists of an executable DLL file that uses "hacking techniques" such as injection and hooking, it could be classified as malicious by antivirus software. There are currently no known issues with the fix. Rename or remove the dinput8.dll from the folder of the game.*Note that for the FEAR expansions the fix also has to be installed into the corresponding sub-folder of the game For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FEAR Ultimate Shooter Edition"* Extract the file dinput8.dll to the folder containing the executable of the game.The fix does not make any permanent changes to the game or to Windows and can easily be removed. The fix is agnostic towards the game that uses it and should therefore work with all versions of a supported game, including the Steam, GOG and retail versions.įeel free to provide feedback if the DLL works on other games as well. A similar problem has also been reported to occur in other titles, like Prototype.Īlthough this issue can often be fixed by disabling most/all HID-Devices in the device manager, it is bothersome to do so and lately some people reported that that solution does not even work at all anymore, especially on machines running Windows 10. However, the problem also crops up in other games using the same engine, such as the FEAR expansions or Condemned: Criminal Origins and with non-Logitech hardware configurations. This problem is probably most widely known in regards to the game FEAR and often occurs in conjunction with the usage of Logitech devices. The DirectInputFpsFix fixes a bug that causes the FPS to severely drop after a few minutes of play.

#Ancient space low fps manual#
It is easy to install and does not require manual disabling of HID devices. Or will the GOG version of JA2 simply 'work as is'? The 'Readme ' is bloody ancient but the goggame galaxy JA2 file list says 'galaxy_jagged_alliance2_2.1.0.13.The DirectInputFpxFix fixes an input related FPS drop/slowdown problem that occurs in FEAR, its expansions, Condemned: Criminal Origins and other games. JA2 is installed on a HDD but win10 is installed on an SSD and I don't use a pagefile.Ĭan you recommend a file as I simply wish to play the game and after looking thru the Q&A I'm kinda confused by so many answers that apply to the mass of mods, game versions of JA2, exe versions & win7, win8 & win10. I'm running win10 64 on an old intel 6700 cpu and gtx1080. win7 ran one older game but win7 was not a great OS for me personally. Now I finally have it and I'm too worried to begin it because every time I try to run a game over 10 years old?. Is this issue fixed by now? I rem trying to find this game in 2009 and gave up. I just bought JA2 on GOG, it's xmas 2017. I suppose it is because gog.com took care to slow the game down to original speed, overdoing it in the process. The gog.com version is really slow for many people, me included, and the original version runs great.
