luismuziotti Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 And to serious people like Kurgan and many more, should I downgrade the dircetx 9.0b? cause I think this is causing me a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahamrick Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I don't think it's direct x 9b. I've been using it without problems. What are your system specs and what settings do you have the game on? What do you have enabled and what don't you? I think that would help some of us help you better if we knew what you had.

luismuziotti Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 nVidia GeForce 3, Athlon 1.4, 384 mb RAM, 7200 rpm hard drive. Not the ultimate gaming machine, but it works, still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahamrick Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 What are you running the game at? I'd think that you should be able to run at 1024x768 at high detail, with anistropic filtering turned all the way off, dynamic glow turned off (I don't see a difference with it on or off, except in performance..) Also, remember to turn off force feedback and use simple shadows. Those two, and dynamic glow being turned off gave me the highest boost in performance.

luismuziotti Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 Ok, I'll try that! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahamrick Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I'd say if that doesn't give acceptable peformance, either turn down the detail settings or lower your resolution. Before I got my new computer, I was running a 600mhz Athlon and a GeForce256. JO ran pretty good with medium settings on 1024x768 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractal-Coffee Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I actually find all this rather amusing. I've got a PIII 450 with 256meg of RAM and a TNT2 (yes, you saw that right) and I haven't noticed any problems yet. 'Course, I'm not stupid enough to run the game with everything set at max, but it's mostly on mediums/highs at the moment, and it's all just peachy. Perhaps I'll hold off on getting a better system until after I finish with the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luismuziotti Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Anybody knows how can I do to see an FPS indicator in the game?, I mean, I saw an indicator in games like Counter Strike and Black Hawk Down, of course those games are MP, but everybody is talking here about FPS and I don't know how to determine at what rate I'm playing. And of course, If I'm asking something absurd you can tell me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luismuziotti Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thanks for your help pahamrick, at last I managed to get decent performance (60max-15min fps), but I'm still convinced that this game have problems, coz this engine is too old, ok, the game needs a better hardware than JO, but if I don't have this better hardware, give me at last same performance as JO gave (110max-50min fps) at much lower settings but not even that?, if I don't have the system I don't care, but they can't degrade the gameplay so bad just because I don't have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 or an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.

pahamrick Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Not a problem. Here's hoping we get a patch that fix some things, because as it stands dynamic glow just messes everything up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
