The game is fully 3D, mapped by an invisible grid; vehicles tilt to meet hilly terrain, and projectiles can be realistically blocked by obstructions.[7][8] The camera is free-moving and can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan up or down while navigating the battlefield.[2]
That being said I used the dgVoodoo2 since I have a GTX960 graphics card and was fairly certian it would appreciate the higher direct X version being used. The only two configuration changes I made to Voodoo was to force it to use my graphics card instead of try to software emulate, and to full screen the game on my secondary display.
3: download and install Zeus nGlide wrapper from here - -software.com/downloads/nglide (this is a \"glide wrapper\", translating legacy Glide API calls that Mfatigue can, and prefer to, use, to modern DirectX calls.)
4: reboot your computer BEFORE YOU INSTALL, then install Metal Fatigue normally to C:\\metal when it asks you what kind of graphic api to use, chose the 1 with \"GLIDE\" in the name (that will make it use the Zeus nGlide wrapper)
5: download the latest version of =true , and save it as C:\\metal\\MFatigue.exe , overwriting the original (it's a modified version of the US MFatigue.exe with region lock removed, 4GB LARGEADDRESSAWARE patch applied, locked to 1 cpu core to work around game-crashing racing conditions, changelog at )
Metal Fatigue is, like so many other strategy games, rendered in full 3D. And like so many other games, it seems as if the move to 3D doesn't add anything to the game that would be missing in 2D. Metal Fatigue is 3D just for the sake of being 3D. 3D is entirely appropriate in cases where line-of-sight is an important factor or where you can get down to the level of the action. Neither of these issues seems to be very important in Metal Fatigue. The 3D is really only useful for getting a look at your units that have passed behind a mountain or for trying to locate a specific enemy in a giant clump of units. The camera controls are very smooth but they don't allow you to get close enough to the action.
Gameplay is where Metal Fatigue truly shines. Sure, there are \"tandard\" RTS features that everyone will recognize, e.g. harvest resources (lava in this case), build buildings, produce units, annihilate the enemy to go to the next mission. However, gameplay Metal Fatigue centers on giant robots, and they are not just another unit you can build. For starters, these robots are huge: they tower over vehicles and buildings. They are also carefully animated and built, in true polygonal 3D graphics similar to Total Annihilation. You have to manufacture different parts of a robot separately (e.g. torso, arm, leg), and each part can be researched for improvement. Before they are battle-ready, you must staff them with a human pilot unit.
The improvement of fatigue strength is crucial for the industrial application of structural materials for ever. In the past several decades, solutions of this problem are tightly connected to the enhancement of tensile properties, as it is generally accepted that the improvement of tensile strength usually leads to a corresponding improvement of fatigue strength1,2,3. Accordingly, a variety of strengthening methods, including alloying4, grain refinement5 and heat treatment6 were carried out for higher fatigue strength. However, this relationship seems not remain for long: at high-strength level or in the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF)7,8 regime, the fatigue strength tends to keep constant9 or even decreases10,11 by further increasing the tensile strength. The transitions of crack initiation mechanisms and dominant fatigue damage mechanisms12 are considered as the underlying factors that changed the initial linear relation. Based on these studies, a parabolic relation between fatigue strength and tensile strength was proposed and confirmed by large amounts of statistical data13.
In this study, an α-Cu-Al alloy with high Al content (Cu-15at.%Al, which displayed the best fatigue properties in Ans research18,19) is chosen, with the cold-rolling and annealing process29 (which brings smaller deformation damage in comparison to SPD methods), aiming at improving fatigue strength a step further.
For ordinary SPD materials, the fatigue strength exponent b is usually much smaller than the undeformed state5, thus causing the shrink of fatigue ratio σ-1/σUTS. According to the former investigations18, fatigue strength exponent b is a reflection of fatigue damage mechanism; the microstructure instability and initial damage of SPD materials can be considered as the two main reasons for its decrease. In this section, the original microstructures as well as microstructures after fatigue test were carefully observed by EBSD and TEM, to evaluate the cyclic stability and initial damage level of our materials.
TEM characterizations displayed in Fig. 4 further confirmed above analysis. In general, the grains are rather clean, no micro-cracks or inclusions were observed. Even few dislocations could be found in grains with smaller size (Fig. 4a) after the fatigue tests. In relatively larger grains, more dislocations initiated and dispersedly distributed as typical planar-slip patterns (Fig. 4b). This distinction among grains with different sizes indicates that the fatigue damage prefers to occur in larger grains; as the range of grain size is rather narrow for our materials (Fig. 3b,e), this kind of damage concentration is not so obvious. As for the conditions of grain boundaries, coherent annealing twin boundaries with few defects can be frequently observed in grains with various sizes (Fig. 4c,d). In contrast with typical deformation twins containing many defects and steps38 that would lead to de-twinning39, or the imperfect nano-scaled twins which could cause the twin-assisted grain growth40, these micron-sized annealing twin boundaries possess perfect coherent structure with lower energy state and better thermal stability41,42,43. According to the microstructure observation, this recrystallized microstructure contain fewer initial damages and display better cyclic stability in comparison with typical SPD structures15,16.

According to above results, the recrystallized UFG microstructures produced by cold rolling and annealing gained larger fatigue strength than both the NGs attained by SPD processes and the CGs obtained by high temperature annealing. The superiorities of this UFG structure could be summarized as follows based on former tests and observations.
According to above analysis, the optimization of microstructures can effectively improve the fatigue strength. Different from alloying and grain refining, the microstructure optimizing can create new path for the fatigue strength improvement. As displayed in Fig. 5a,b, from the original CG state to different conditions of the refined grains, the values of fatigue strength fall on two different curves corresponding to the two refining processes: i) SPD and ii) cold rolling plus subsequent annealing. Obviously, the latter is more effective on the fatigue strength improvement than the former. While the single grain refining method usually put emphasis on strengthening effect, the microstructure optimization concerns mainly about the efficiency of fatigue strength improvement, which can be evaluated by the fatigue ratio. As the relationships shown in Fig. 5c, through optimization, the fatigue ratio can be increased, with an upward rotation of the former grain refining curve.
(a) Relationships between fatigue strength and yield strength. (b) Relationships between fatigue strength and ultimate tensile strength. Different paths varied with grain refinement processes were shown as curves in figures. CG/ECAP/HPT: data from An et al.18, the coarse grain/ECAP/HPT specimens; present results-CR+AN: data in this study, specimens fabricated by cold rolling and annealing. (c) Summarization of the effective method (microstructure optimizing) and strategies (strengthening and damage reduction) for the improvement of fatigue strength. CG: coarse-grain; UFG: ultrafine grain; NG: nano-grain; CR+AN: cold rolling and annealing; SPD: severe plastic deformation.
For years, strengthening is the widely accepted strategyfor fatigue strength improvement1,2,3, even though it has been proved to be imperfect9,10,11. According to the present study, it is obvious that there exists another way besides strengthening, that is reducing the initial damage and dispersing the accumulated damage, which can be summarized as damage reduction (Fig. 5c). Both strategies have unignorable influence on the value of fatigue strength. In other words, either of their effects on fatigue strength improvement is limited when they work separately; proper cooperation of the two strategies can function effectively.
It is worth noting that both strategies function in a variety of forms and scales, widely from atomic-scale up to meso-scale. For strengthening, defects in different dimensions and scales can help improve the tensile strength to different levels. Solute atoms, dislocations and boundaries, although in varied forms and through various mechanisms, share the same function of strengthening. For damage reduction, it can be roughly classified into damage decrease and damage dispersion: the former puts emphasis on the absolute quantity of damage, and the latter focuses on the distribution of damage. Fatigue damage can be diminished by eliminating the initial damage (changing the density of original defects) or improving the deformation reversibility (changing the deformation mechanisms via alloying20). Damage dispersion is realized mainly by improving the homogeneity of fatigue damage accumulation, which could also be achieved in different forms including the diminish of micro-cracks (avoiding over-severe deformation processes), and the decrease of extra-large grains (increasing the homogeneity in crystalline sizes as well as their cyclic stability). In this way, the two strategies would provide a wealth of possibilities for the future studies on the fatigue strength improvement. 153554b96e
