Low fps in Q2
« on: July 31, 2005, 03:10:52 AM »
so I'm running a new computer..

WinXP Media Center 2005
P4 3.0ghz
ATI Sapphire Raedon x300SE
1GB RAM
etc...

and I'm getting only 50-70 fps in Q2.. I'm using the r1q2 client

I've tried playing around with my video settings and turning off VSync and setting it to Max Performance.  I've also tried with NoCheat, Q2Advance and the regular 3.20, and same thing..

my old computer

Win 98SE
Duron 900
GeForce4 MX400
512MB RAM
etc..

I was getting over 400fps with this computer.. wtf?

If your problem is due to the 2k/xp refresh cap, refer to these two threads.

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
