There's a force update command but you need to know the specific version the patch is patching from and to.

4583 works again for me too, with the above mentioned garbage stars login screen.
Performance is probably not so good. Btw how to enable frame counter?

FPS is ctrl+F12, but many people have it blocked and need to remap to something else in iomap.cfg
What GPU?

Thanks, I have a 560ti/1gb.
I consider to upgrade my gfx. What would you recommend for OT? Does 4gb vram give an advantage over 2gb?
400w power supply is the limit.

OT is quite memory hungry, especially if you boost quality and tile limits, so it's always good to go for more memory, as far as OT is concerned.

If you are experiencing some unusual slowdowns, especially when initially it runs ok but after turning around and running a bit it the fps drops, most often it is because all graphics memory has been consumed and the GPU started swapping it with the main memory.

I know it had been mentioned that you intended to go 64bit maybe by the end of the year. Is that still an ongoing possibility?

Yes, finishing the 64 bit build of our Chromium browser wrapper, other libs should be easier.

When loading a few different locations one after another I always see severe performance drops down to slide show fps, so I'm forced to restart OT. Is this behavior memory related?

Likely. Try resetting terrain settings to defaults and see if it changes anything. Also, if you have debug_keys=true in eng.cfg, alt+3 will give you some GPU memory statistics.

Version 0.8.2.4589
  • workaround for Nvidia <400 series cards driver bug causing initialization fail
  • block world shaders from being used before login and update check, shader precompilation doesn't cause abort on compile/link errors, allowing to check for updates
  • fixed camera restore after getting back from map projection mode
  • limiter and atmo adjustments on low GPU memory (<1GB)


People with Nvidia <400 series cards that got stuck please download the patch manually:

Should be new Nvidia drivers this week, hopefully.  Not that that means that they'll fix anything.  ::)
