Pesty,

Been using it on GSA. Noticeable improvement in loadup speed and game flow.

Great work!!!! 

Have also changed to isdn connection so no more d/up!!!! Looking forward to some serious PvP now.

Can you tell what folder the dll files are in so I can back them up?

[Cptn_Pestalence_XC]

The main Orion Pirates directory..

Typically, if installed to default CD location, this is

C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates

In this folder are the DLL files that you need to back up.

Bump, since I had to hunt it down tonight.

This thread probably ought to be stickied somewhere.

I moved it to the enhancements sub-forum a while back so its handy.

And a bump for good measure!

P.S. Pestalence, when I speak of the smartheap dll I'm talking about SHW32.DLL the memory manager from MicroQuill. (and the version used with SFC3 still has some bugs if I recall correctly) Looks like it would cost us around $1000-2000 to upgrade to version 7. (OP was using v6.0.0.3 and SFC3 is using v6.0.2.58 and the debug version 6.0.2.29 SHW32d.DLL)

SmartHeap 7 further improves memory management performance for multithreaded apps and uses a more efficient heap design. It adds support for Intel hyperthreading technology and full support for debugging unmanaged C/C++ code built with .NET technology (SmartHeap 6 has partial debug support for .NET).

I think version 7 might help the serverkit as it is a mutlthreaded app.

Pestalence, You might want to give the latest MSS32.dll a try too:

Well the reports of this things usage look good, I'm not realy having much problems playing OP at the moment. I can force the maximum supported AA and AF from ATI Tray Tools for my graphics card. Will this affect my ability to play any of the mods online like SG6?

[Bonk]

This will not affect mods. Though I reccomend backing up the contents of the root folder of your OP install just in case the stability updater does cause issues for you, then you can easily restore the original dlls.
