Hello guys,
I installed XWAU with a default configuration and found that my GPU load is quite high 60~70%.
during hyperspace, it reaches 100% load of GPU.
Is it normal usage?
Sometimes, it's quite hard to control the flight as it moves in the wrong direction.
My PC specs are here.
i5-10400F / 32GB RAM / SSD 512GB / Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti
Game display resolution 1600x900
Thank you in advance for your replies.

I haven't measured GPU usage on my end, but the hyperspace sequence is 100% generated in the GPU through procedural shaders, so that's probably correct.
Can you be a bit more specific? I believe what you're experiencing is the Gimbal Lock problem. This happens when trying to fly straight "up" or "down". In skirmish missions, this is easier to see because Suns and Planets tend to be located at these locations. Try downloading the latest hooks: we already have a hook (hook_gimbal_lock) that fixes that, just make sure it's enabled.Sometimes, it's quite hard to control the flight as it moves in the wrong direction.

Go to the Downloads section in the forums and then look for XWA Hooks Setup. This is the direct link:SkywalkerXF wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 7:23 pmWhere can we download those?Can you be a bit more specific? I believe what you're experiencing is the Gimbal Lock problem.

Unzip the tool and run it. It will download the latest versions of the hooks. Then you can just copy these hooks into your XWA directory. I think you only need the hook_gimbal_lock files to fix the problems with your joystick.

Thank you very much! I am getting that windows, where it says "isHookEnabled = 0" must be set. Is there any fix for this ?

Yes, open hooks.ini in any text editor and find the following:SkywalkerXF wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 7:36 pmThank you very much! I am getting that windows, where it says "isHookEnabled = 0" must be set. Is there any fix for this ?
Code: Select all
[hook_d3d]
IsHookD3DEnabled = 0

I found that flight is out of control when I faced a big planet as you mentioned.
and copying hoook_gimbal_lock solves my issues.
Thank you. blue_max
