Will the fps problem be fixed in time for 4.1? I ask because UT is pretty much unplayable for me with 29 fps. I should get higher frames with a 7600GT.

(woekele edit: made the thread subject more clear)

[Oswald (old)]

yeah.

[Woekele]

No.

Getting 30fps on a 7600GT means there's something else wrong, it can't be cause of a few hints missing. So what can it be?

First: try disabling vsync (either in your vidcard driver control panel or r_swapinterval 0, or both if neccessary). Vsync on 60Hz will make you drop to 30 as soon as you get ANYTHING under 60.

Also, try setting com_blood 0.

Also, if you have a dual core machine, set affinity to 1 core and set in the nvidia control panel to disable threading optimization.

Also, disable antialiasing/anisotropic filtering there.

Check the faq for some more hints/explanations.

Maybe you already did, but you didn't mention it, so I dunno.

I have a cheapo 5200FX on a 1.7 celeron with 768 of ram and I only drop down to 30-35 when there is some seriously crazy action going on in my FOV. Try what woekle said because that really shouldn't be a consistant rate when my crappy hardware maintains 75-90 pretty easily.

Yeah rahx, same at my parrent's PC, also fx5200. No way a fx5200 would out-perform a 7600GT, unless something else was very wrong.

and yeah some problems on our side are still going to be fixed...

[Woekele]

Adding hints (vis-blocking) in the FS maps, yes, they have already been adressed by the leet mappers. I'm not aware of other problems.

some still report the infamous fps bug (of constant drops in situations normally was higher).

not 100% certain but I think i noticed it too.

[Woekele]

Only possible fix I know for that is com_blood 0.

switching to older 8x.xx drivers gave some people good results too
