what could possibly happen to drexel? from almost 100% completed missions it, now - after the patch its completely broken, crashes on the rocks and stuff, around 5-10% win rate now
same situation on 3 different machines, perfect/medium/low performance

Well, I definitely know what the problem is here!

What you describe is a timing issue - it has to be reading the starter timer image incorrectly on your system(s). The starting timer image changed to ":47", which is less prone to error than reading ":50", but now we could use sample pictures from user systems that vary in color from developer systems.

If you can, follow the directions a few posts above to take a screenshot of when the timer reads "3:47". Save it (we just need the "47" part) as a .png and post it here, and then we can include that image as part of the starting timer check in the next build.

I'll do that asap, but in the meantime, a quick fix might be to reduce your image tolerance until you see the mission starting exactly at 3:47 (and not earlier).

ok, thanks for quick reply
after a lot of tweaking i managed to make the bot work on 2 of my machines (good and medium performance) one of them had to use 5.32 tho
but problem persists on laptop, i think that they changed something with graphics because it works much worse than it used to, less fps

anyway i got the screen that you wanted me to take

this is the one that doesnt work , whats more its not even detected by latest unstable build, (5.32 detects it but doesnt work properly) using this one on laptop

EDIT: after making windows1920x1080 resolution it is detected by the bot (latest unstable), but higher res means even lower performance which end up pretty bad


and this one works with latest unstable, after the short test the result was 7-0:

EDIT2: crushing is not the only problem, now, it seems that the bot fail to kill 60 interceptors and that never happened before

Thanks for the contribution! Both have been added to the latest x86 build, and they will be checked against every time Drexel starts.

The laptop issue might be that Drexel is now autofiring and checking for two colors instead of one; it is more accurate, but could be performing slower with a less efficient CPU or graphics card. For that machine, you might try checking psx debug enabled to see if performance overall improves.

EDIT

After reading your edits, I think I'll go back and test the single color check method again. If I can find just the right shade, it might make all the difference while improving performance speed.

thank you very much, again

well im not sure if wasting so much time on my case is really worth it, i mean, i could of managed to make it work on 2/3 of my computers, only the crappiest one doesnt work. and other people are not complaining so i guess its somehow mine or my hardwares mistake. anyway the fact is that untill the patch i was able to get 90-95% succesful missions

so, im on latest unstable version now and my spaceship doesnt crash or get shot, now its not killing enough interceptors :/ makes around 48-50 no matter if there is psx debus / hd mode enabled or disabled :/

im so confused, it seems that every time i run the bot there is another issue while the other is magically fixed.
gotta do some more tweaking :|

thanks anyway!

It does open lockboxes, but slicing lockboxes only.
For example, it doesn't open Treasure Hunting lockboxes.

Is this an option somewhere? Doesn't open any of my slicing lockboxes. Checked on it one day and it was frozen in a loop because inventory was full and it couldn't accept mission rewards.


And sending only 1 companion at a time would prolly help keep from getting lower level items but the problem is I have had 3 metal missions level 6 before and also had nnone accept a single level 1 metal mission.

So does anyone have problems with Polith Minefield? It's having a hard time killing the ship in the end, and its skipping a lot of the mines it barely made them 150, infact it killed the last one in the last second that it could.. the issue with the mines is that it's targeting them maybe too fast I don't know, it's targeting everything very fast but not firing at everything, same with the ship i guess, the aim mark is staying on the ship at all times but probably its not firing enough, i couldnt see.... im 42 lvl with all tier 5 upgrades and EWP.... just dont tell me that I need EMP for it :P another 150 commedations...

Now having 100% fail rate on drexel even with the updated builds and adjusted skews and time delays. it just isnt killing enough interceptors and always tops out at 58 there are several big groups the bot misses and one group it fires at, at the end behind, an asteroid doing nothing.... anyone having the same problem?

If you want to tweak targeting timing you need to enable the psx on target timer. In this case best would be to disable timing override and enable psx ott so mission runs with default settings. If it doesnt manage to fight down the enemy ships, enable timing override and increase the on target time in 5 or 10 ms steps. Increase the missile delay if missiles are wasted too early, decrease it if too much much missiles are left in the end.

Polith benefits from EMP but will work without it too. Post a sysinfo, so perhaps we can say a bit more.

Ok what the ****? Why does it say that I have 2GB of RAM??? I gave 4GB to the VM, its using only 3GB tho, but why does it say that I have 2GB? That's why its giving and the other bullcrap that I'm runing out of RAM..... even in Computer>Properties it says that its 4GB and 3GB Usable..... That's an off question but still... this could be causing some of my issues, like delays or something when its runing out of memory right?

Your game settings seem to be ok for Polith. So guess its your VM setup again what comes in way. I would not trust Computer properties with memory reports in a VM, looks as if your Guest OS simply cannot use the available RAM. (Remember: 32bit OS needs special tricks to use more than 3Gig ram) As already mentioned - do not disable pagefile for microsoft os. Reduce VM memory to 3Gig, add one 3Gig ramdisk per VM to host, let the VM mount it and use it as pagefile drive then. If you use your default VM hdd for paging there should not be more than one VM per physical harddrive - no matter if its an SSD or whatever. Make sure that your Antivirus ignores the VM hdd files.
And ... maybe best is to use the the latest bot revision

[Darkbounded]

But I don't need more than 3GB, 3GB is more than enough, the problem is that it can't go above 2GB for some reason even that in Task Manager it says that it ~1GB of free memory... about the page file, I made a new D:\ with 2GB capacity in one of the VMs just to test if this is really the issue, I gave all that 2GB for Page File, it didn't do anything, and still I think that the problem is that for some reason the VM itself can't use more than 2GB, even that the Win supports 3GB and I even gave it 4GB which is pointless I know but still...

Will it work for bounty hunter?

Revision 233 is now available for download from our x86 link.

Changes:

- Drexel Sweep: numerous search, movement, and timing adjustments to improve main and bonus completion rates
- Initial tests show a 90%+ success rate for the main objective with the best available level 40 equipment and bonus off
- With the best available level 44+ equipment, the success rate so far is 90%+ for the main objective and 80%+ for the bonus objective

Please test away and let me know how it runs.

Not everything labeled fuel will make your car drive. Pagefile must have minimum same size than ram. Thats the reason for your problems.
