if you have been a good boy (or girl) then you may ask santa clause for a new pc - an you never know.... he might just give you one for being good :D

[hitaku]

I have new computer, on new computer ~120 fps, but how play on old compter? New computer using for multimedia and office only.

Why Quake 3 Arena fly and UrT very slow!?

[BorderFox]

I second that one - rebuild the older pc - more memory, new disk etc etc and use that for the office stuff. Seriously... use the newer pc for gaming and other multimedia stuff.

What are you talking about? I asked a specific question?
Answer on the merits, please!
But if you nubs, then please do not take anyone's time!

My computer is a super crappy netbook, but I boosted my fps quite a bit with config tweaks.

Go into UrbanTerror-q3ut4-autoexec.cfg
Then paste this into the file:

Urban Terror uses the shaders? If so, then how to turn off?
If I look at the trees, then low fps.
If I look at the smoke, then low fps.

It is a pity that there is not a professional players and at least one developer.

Thanks robberguy189, you good!
But it is of little help.

@robberguy189:
Who made this? Theres a bunch of variables appearing twice.

One time fps is set to 125, in the last few lines its set to 60
