graphics card useless
« on: November 17, 2010, 06:39:21 PM »
ok ever since i have installed my graphics card, quake2 has the feel it is running alot slower. i have changed no settings. I am only getting 60 fps when i type timerefresh when before i installed it i was getting over 1000. someone suggested i used the command gl_swapinterval to 0 and that worked for a while it was up to nearly 2000 fps but now its just not working and i am only getting 60 fps in timerefresh

if it's a geforce card, open up the control panel and the advanced options and make sure "vertical sync" is set to "application controlled". "off" will work too.

see if that helps

I was on DM this morning for the first time in a pretty long time. Seemed fine to me.

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
