Major fps drop

(maarten144) #1

Hi lads lately im having major fps drop problems and i cant seem to find the problem. Here’s what happened. I downloaded ragner-x-s config and with his help i adjusted it. Then i found out it was too sucky and i made some mistakes. But thing was i had done seta in the autoexec so my etconfig was also set. So i thought to myself lets be a smart guy and reinstall ET. I reinstalled it and it didnt play properly so i made a very small autoexec.cfg with a couple of cvars in it so i set picmip to 2 lodbias to 3, amtosphericeffects 0 shadow 0 dynamiclight 0 r_mode is 4. Everything was fine at my own server (that lw thingy with etpro 3.1.0, 217.67.241.215) but today i went to AWA and Astra server and on normal maps like oasis and fueldump i had an fps of 9!!! Has someone got any ideas for me? cause im so confused :’(

well that explains it then. Your comp doesnt meet the min requirments.

I would agree, you’re trying to play a $50 game on a $20 computer

lol this does not explain it at all, cause ive been playing ET since november 2003 and as ive said befor it all worked fine until now:S

turn all your graphics to minium and set your hunk megs high.

(maarten144) #9

before between 25 and 45, i increased hunkmegs, though im not setting all to minimum. Im thinking i did soemthing wrong cause i got the same settings as befor and now its fps dropping. But i cant seem to find the problem

rofl how do you play with 25-45 fps in R MODE 4? make sure that r_swapinterval is set to 0. Also www.et-center.com, for all your et needs you won’t get much help here.

well i guess you messed with a good thing then! oh and do LW wants a clanwar 3v3? against AsTrA?

(maarten144) #12

yeah 3v3 sounds good but aint astra dead? and turned into smurf :? Anywho mode 4 is 800x600 aint it? so thats good. Ill do a little search on etcenter and try to find out what swap interval does.
