Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Byrthnoth]

Check your UI scale setting. Put it to 1 and then try again.

I had a similar problem yesterday when I first got 4.0 I had 1-2 fps with just my one char running. I ended up having to open up the config and turning on the mip mapping and super____ (can't remember name, supermapping? or something I'm terrible with computers). No clue what they did, both options were auto turned off, but when I turned them on it fixed my framerate. Try that? Hope that helps maybe.

Tried with super sampling, mip mapping, bump mapping, on, off, and various stages in between, still craps out and drops everything to 1 fps the moment i get a second character from PoL to ffxi launching. Any more ideas out there?

Is there any way I can prevent windower4 from determining what my graphics settings should be? My laptop has shut down due to overheating 3 times already today, a problem I've never had before except for rare occasions.

[Darkmagi]

Yeah, been looking for a solution to that all day.

You can determine this, over-riding whatever settings it decides.

Start a new instance of windower 4.

Profile > Edit resolution > Game > Supersampling off.

Should be the same as before.

I can't seem to run windower 4,I have windows 8 if that helps, the program stops/never goes past/crashed always at "Launching Playonline" I get a "Windower launcher has stopped working" message I'm doing right click > run as admin. I'm already on my 4th fresh install and idk what I'm doing wrong .

It defaults to off...but incase I toggled it on and off, and my graphics are still super high...and I set it to on incase it was working backwards, no success.

Is it possible to move Timers and PetTP on X/Y Axis? If so, then how?

Sorry, just installed Windower 4 yesterday, I expected it to be something simple like Supersampling.

No idea.

Not sure on PetTP, I don't use it.

Timers is Windower4 > Plugins > Settings > Timers.xml

Can edit with C++ like spellcast scripts.

Per Byrth's suggestion, I made a crash dump for my problem with crashing when taking screenshots. Is there a specific person that's preferred for me to send the .dmp file to?

Windower (and all .dll plugins in the same place) has a bug tracker/feature request portal at Github. Just [Open issue], give it a meaningful title, short description and attach your crashdump here:

Really probably obvious one but it's bordering on making it unuseable for me - the game's just gone so incredibly dark compared to old windower and no amount of fiddling can get it back to being useable basically - running through dark tunnels or whatever is completely impossible to see where you're going. Have fiddled with all the settings I can find - but to no luck.

In Bahrain and just got done updating. Has w3.x been fixed to use //commands, or /console exec files (Only gear macros)? I've downloaded w4 but kinda on hold to install it as my desktop is still in storage until I move out in town, and playing on my gimp laptop. Been reading the stories of impossible to dual box and such.

Gamma settings?

[Cesaria]

Gamma settings?

Fiddled with them which improved things a bit - but it's still incredibly dark to the point you can barely run through the alleyway parts of town at night.

game_forceambientlight 1 I think is the command you want. I know the stock init.txt that comes with windower4 has it enabled.

So, windower 4 crashes randomly during a battle only. Anyone else having this problem?

[Byrthnoth]

Go to Timer's settings file and use <graphicalMode>false</graphicalMode> to reduce the frequency of those crashes.

Will try tomorrow. Thnx for the quick reply.
