@kurtkz
Can you release a dumb down version that plays at 30fps for me?

 

[Allrounder18]

Revert to old driver and speed is even slower now.

I'm running the latest version of CH. I think I might have put my laptop to sleep at some stage so that probably logged me out.

RE batsmen getting bowled, some are some aren't. Some misread the line/spin and played inside the line, but some were beaten in flight and played all around it.

RE lbw, not usually, normally playing across the line and missing, but not always, sometimes just playing outside the line and getting beaten by the turn, other times beaten for pace by a yorker and missing it

@Allrounder18: I think i found a solution. Will update you later if you want run launcher and set frameskip to 30.

 

[Allrounder18]

Already tried that ,but the game skips too many frames and it becomes unplayable.

Eagerly waiting for your update

 

[Allrounder18]

Ok upgraded to latest video drivers , only slight improvements in frames ,still unplayable ,Now counting on you Kurtkz.

OK - another patch:

- more UI fixes
- added option in Launcher to use MesaGL driver
- tweaked batting
- tweaked AI batting aggression
- fixed pitch conditions in career mode FC
- fixed white lines & flickering on field in career mode FC
- action camera (career) doesn't switch to boundary view
- fixed animation on Match XI view
- fixed bug where non-striker would sometimes keep wandering up the pitch after the bowler has the ball
- tweaked speed of edges

@Allrounder18: Please do the following when you update:

1. run Launcher
2. check Use Mesa OpenGL driver
3. click on Play

this should hopefully help. It runs fine on my laptop (HD4000 gfx too), hopefully it'll work OK for you...

@dancingmongoose: When you log in again it'll remember your details and log you in automatically from there

 

[Allrounder18]

Can you tell me how to ball cutters? Will try that mesagl and update you.

 

[Allrounder18]

Ok WoW its working at GG speed very much playable when batting or bowling ,but slow down occurs when the batsmen hit the ball and fielders gather to collect it ,still very much playable though.

 

[Allrounder18]

Just won my first match , Aus vs Saf (me) ,slog match dale steyn finishes with MOM as he bowled a wkt maiden

Next: How to bowl cutter please.

 

[Allrounder18]

Now to the sugguestion and improvements:
As a fast bowler myself I really enjoy fast bowling but not quiet like the idea of bowling peach of a delivery always at a will with the help of pitch marker ,I think it should be removed and the game ask you to bowl which length (full ,good and short) and which line (off side offstump ,just outside off stump or on stumps) thats it and then the game will decide where the ball will pitch , good bowlers will pitch on good areas and bad bowlers will pitch on bad areas also in a pressure situation (like final over of the innings ,or bowled really poor last couple of deliveries etc)if a bowler has low pressure handling skill he will likely to bowl wide or bad delivery ,this will really add to the game.
Or If you are not gonna remove the pitch marker atleast have more variation b/w your setup marker and the actual pitched delivery.
What you say Kurtkz?

 

[Allrounder18]

What is this autopower? Can you actually control the power of the shot with the keyboard? how it works?

 

[Allrounder18]

Btw does the characterstics of players works in the game ?
