Cinematic Mod 9
There are 2 versions of FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod 9:
- The Base version, ready for 32 bit Windows.
- The HD version, including more and more detailed HD textures, but requires a 64 bit Windows and a very very fast computer! (see screen 15 -> 18)
The v9.5 Update is for both versions. Make sure to use the Character Pimper to chose the new models after installing this update!

Info & changelog
Performance Warning!:
The Orangebox/Source Engine is getting outdated and performs poor compared to newer engines like the Cry-Engine or the Unreal-Engine. It's almost impossible to get good framerates with enhanced viewrange, hires-textures and high polycount. Therefore prepare yourself for fps below 40 in some open areas, unless you're using the latest NASA supercomputer.
Snapshot Release:
V9.5 is a Snapshot-Release. Currently i have reached the source-engine limits in almost all areas. Unfortunately the limits are quite low. The current build of the source engine can't render detailed open areas or nice foliage without hitting this limits. (Compared to the Cry-Engine: Source engines 100 % entity limit equals approx. 5 % of the Cry-Engine limit) I'll take a break now, hoping the next engine version will give the possibilities, i need.
History:

CM9 BASE
- CM9 Spin-Off (all HD-Models are ripped from the BASE version) -> This version is 32bit ready

Sound drops or crackling:
If sound crackles occures, you can fix this by setting the snd_mixahead value in the autoexec's of CM's subdirectories. You will find the autoexec.cfg in the FAKEFACTORY_CM9\hl2\cfg FAKEFACTORY_CM9\episodic\cfg FAKEFACTORY_CM9\ep2\cfg directories. Try different value like snd_mixahead "0.2" or snd_mixahead "0.4" for increasing the buffered time of soundsamples. This will fix crackling or dropouts, but can lead to slightly asynchronous or delayed sounds.
Microstutter and Heapsize:
If you encounter microstuttering ingame (animations), try the heapsize command. Add -heapsize {bytes} to the shortcuts, i.e.: Shortcut: Cinematic Mod EP2 Target: ....launcher.exe" -heapsize 512000. But NEVER set the heapsize above [YOUR INSTALLE RAM / 3] or 512MB
Setup.exe and virus warning:
Setup uses a tool called SetACL for setting write permissions to the mods screenshots / cfg / SAVE directories. Some antivirus software could warn about possible malware. This is a false positive.
