The cache=1 setting can be improved by setting the NTFS permission of the cache file to reject write in.Therefore,no cache will be made.Relatively,Cahce=1 setting still caches.Another rectification:"CD1:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Torment\CDALL" is meaningless,feel free to ignore line CD1 the same as line CD5.Your work is highly appreciated.

Interesting, but what one is the cache file?

Great news! Many thanks Qwinn,

I recently started a fresh game though only just arrived at smoldering corpse after becoming a mage but I'd rather not reinstall/reply. Do you think updating the 3 components would hurt my savegame? If not, would I simply run the new setup .exe's from folder?

Interesting,,,

I always thought the graphical issues on older games only affected people with Nvidia cards.

I'm on a 4870 ATI and just tried this tweak/app to see what it's all about and I noticed a big difference! I always thought the jumpy animations were part of the game I've been playing for so long. I'm using a desktop res of 1440 x 900 and have installed PST @ 1280 x 800 (with ghostdog of course) and set the app the same. Everything 'feels right'. I'm impressed. Going to check it out on a few other titles now.

What's not so fine is I discovered that the video card doesn't output 1440x900 properly. Instead it outputs 1600x1200 and puts the rest in a window, which is rather frustrating to say the least. The same goes for several other resolutions, and even 1280x800 gets output as 1280x1024 with black bars. Basically the only resolutions that work the way they're supposed to are 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 1024x768 and 800x600 (and probably 640x480 - can't select it as a desktop resolution however). ALL the other resolutions are screwed up in some way. I'm rather annoyed to say the least. The driver CD that came with the card was actually missing a lot of resolutions as well - I don't mind living on the technological edge, but I figured basic things like this should "just work" out of the box, never mind 4 months after release.

EDIT: Tracked down the windowboxing issue - GPU scaling is always turned on in Windows 7 it appears, even if you uncheck the button to deactivate it. The only saving grace is there's an option to at least use full screen games using it, so you avoid the windowboxing.

There is also a scaling option inside ATI CCC which you will need to alter accordingly as there are 3 settings to chose from. I've not tried Win7 but I would think the best option would be to totally turn off scaling options in windows and do it purely through ATI settings.

I have a 4870 which works fine with PS:T (on xp).

No problem Qwinn

Really looking forward to my next replay!

Massive thanks again for all your (and others) hard work!
