Andy867 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 KAIA, is that with Force Feedback turned off in the control options? If not, turn it off and see how it runs.. Also, try this in the console, type set com_MaxFPS 200 that will uncap the max FPS that JA will be able to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiaSowapit Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Andy867, heh... I believe it is with Force Feedback off (as I don't play with a FF mouse or joystick). But in all honesty I don't really care, since my eyes can't tell the difference over 30 fps (I doubt yours can too unless you're superhuman). I'm as pleased as punch with my setup as is - everything looks gorgeous and gameplay is zippy fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Actually, by default, Force Feedback is ENABLED, which significantly slows down performance, and that performance will come in handy in SP when you have a LOT of entities going on the screen.

ChineseJedi Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 the invalid game folder error represents the obvious truth that there are still many illegal beta users that are running servers, and some of them get listed into the master server, and the eroor represents the incompatibility of the two. LOL u bastard... u have an uber computer. What do u have the dell gamin computer? Forget what its called. Dimension XP or something like that.

Andy867 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Actually, its a custom computer that I built from scratch... AMD XP 1900 768 MB DDR PC-2700 RAM 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM Gainward GeForce Ti4800 SE Golden Sample (upgrading it soon possibly) Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer 17" Monitor I just do regular maintenance on it and keep it up to speed in drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kataarn Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 These games need to actually have decent servers that don't lag out 56kers. That's the whole problem. That and they're probably WinXP on these servers too *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseJedi Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Just find a server close to where u live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiaSowapit Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 ChineseJedi, Dell? Eeek! No. Hehe. Alienware, with silly tower case and all. BTW, I completed SP with nary a drop in fps below 40, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy289 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Dude! Awesome! Do was SamFisher said... r_dynamicglow 0 com_maxfps 200 I went from 50fps to 115fps instantly! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiaSowapit Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Chewy289, you do appreciate that by turning off dynamic glow, you're missing out on some of the nicer visual enhancements in Academy? Also, though on paper a frame-rate of 115 might sound spiffy, you should be aware that the human eye can't honestly discern a difference much past 30 (when you go to the movies, the film is being projected at 24 frames per second; NTSC television is 30 frames per second or 60 fields per second). The point? You're sacrificing better looking graphics for the sake of a meaningless fps boost. If I were you, I'd leave r_dynamicglow on. So long as your original average was around 50, it's meaningless to degrade visuals. Just my humble opinion. Also, I'm not 100% on this, but tinkering with com_maxfps may result in packet loss between you and MP servers. I'd leave that at its default as well.
