Chat log and possible FPS increase

[Zoia]

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this here before, but I found this thread on VN:
VN Boards - Can disabling combat logging increase your FPS?

Apparently, WAR logs just about everything. All chat, tells, combat, etc, for all chars you have. When i checked, my witch hunter's log was at 38mb. Imagine what it could be in a couple of years.

There are ways to disable the chat and combat logs that's described in that thread(it wont affect the /tell logs).
One way was to write some /script command in game, but that seemed to reset once i logged off.

---------
Here's what i did(for those that haven't used addons before, like me):

Download and unzip this:
http://www.warpstone.net/DontLogMeBro-1.1.0.zip

In your warhammer folder, make a new folder named "Interface". In that folder, make one named "Addons".

Put the "DontLogMeBro" folder into the "Addons" folder.

Like this: C:/Games/Warhammer/Interface/Addons/DontLogMeBro
---------

It looks like some people have seen a good increase in FPS from doing this, while others do not. Might affect those with lower end PCs more, who knows.
MJ have posted in the thread and we might hear something from Mythic soon.

It's worth a try if you have slow FPS in scenarios, etc.

I think I will wait a bit and see what Mythic find out about this.

from patch note 1.0.2

Due to reports that text logging in RvR may have been affecting performance in some cases, we have set combat and chat logging to be turned off by default. Players who wish to turn their logging on once more can do so by changing their game settings. Please note that there is a certain risk to changing your game settings, and so this process is only recommended for advanced users.
In the game directory, in the user folder, locate the file named UserSettings.xml
Edit that file with Notepad or Wordpad (double clicking on it will usually result in Internet Explorer showing the file and it will not be editable)
Find the line that says, <Logging logAllToDisk=”false”>
Change “false” to “true”
Save the file to the proper directory

i have all log turn off and it make's uge diference in fps

That's pathetic really from a programmer's point of view. Can't be so hard to set up a new worker thread that can take care of the logging and disc writes regardless of the rendering pipeline.

Oh dear.

Thank you on the advice, will turn the logging to disc off.

i think that will come with 1.0.2 if you playing EU server's can always type this ingame:

/script TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("Chat", false, "logs/chat.log")
/script TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("Combat", false, "logs/combat.log")
/script TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("System", false, "logs/system.log")
/script TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("Guild", false, "logs/guildnews.log")

to bring bk log just type the same thing just replace the false for true ;p
