V-tecc Posted October 3, 2002 Posted October 3, 2002 Hi On maps like bespin, i have a framerate of ~20 fps! Can anyone help me? This is my spec: AMD 1.33 GHz ABIT KG7 512 DDR (2x256) Asus GeForce 4Ti 4200, Drivers: 30.82 (Have tried others) Windows XP Please help me, this cant be normal, I have checked the other threads on similar issius, but no one seams to know a real answer. V-tecc
V-tecc Posted October 5, 2002 Author Posted October 5, 2002 The problem seems to start when other players/bots connect to me. When im alone on the map, i have 100 fps.. if ~10 bots/players connect the fps drops rapidely to 20! Anyone?
Datheus Posted October 6, 2002 Posted October 6, 2002 If you have 10 bots, there's no way in hell your computer can handle that. It's gonna drop to 20. Same goes with 10 players, but maybe not as extreme as bots
V-tecc Posted October 8, 2002 Author Posted October 8, 2002 I have now uppgraded to a GeForce 4 4600 & amd XP2000+ Reinstalled windows (after format) and I have almost the same problem, only like 10 fps higher... what should i do for this to work?
Jay Jay Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 Are you playing in Mp mode or SP mode. If you are playing in MP mode what connection speed do you have. It may be that you internet connnection is losing data. I have that problem and I have yet to figure it out but I will help the best way I can
Deetox187 Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 Dude there isn't a problem here, your framerate is correct. The bots use a ton of resources, it will slow down for anyone when they have 10 bots on bespin. I have an XP1600 and a Radeon 8500 and i only get 20-30 fps with 10 bots on bespin, so i keep it around 6 or 7 bots and i get 30-50 fps. Mind you i usually play with low sound quality because high quality eats 10fps, so if you really need some more frames turn sound to low and you should get a significant boost.
LordXaoZ Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 heh, I have 40fps with my radeon 9700 PRO with 11 bots..on 1600*1200...doesen't make much diffrence to me... maybe you should lower the res and details..
CoreyGH Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 I have this same problem, and not just with bots, but with regular people. I get like 80fps on a map, and when 10 people join, the fps tanks to like ~20. I don't see why this should happen, how do human players eat up resources like this? It's a Q3 engine game, and i don't have problems when lots of players join a Q3 game. Or a MOHAA, RTCW game, for that matter. And lowering the res/texture size/model detail doesn't help worth squat

Darth Kaan Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 V-Tec, I have a similar computer setup to yours, except my GF4 Ti 4200 is a leadtek. I can play with 15 bots on bespin and my framerate is in the 60's. That's with all detail settings maxed, EAX on and in 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Jah Warrior Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 If you havent already try turning off v-sync, when the framerate drops bellow the sync mark it will half teh fps. eg if you dip below 60 fps it will show 30fps. I have a practically identical system to you same mobo everything and i get liek 140fps at times. one thing you could try is com_maxfps 150 that essentially uncaps the framerate and the result is a healthy boost in fps. I run t-bird 1.4 KG7 GF4 ti 4400 128 with 1 gig ram so what works for me should do same for you.
Darth Kaan Posted October 25, 2002 Posted October 25, 2002 Also if you have v sync off, go into the multi.cfg and set your max fps to 200 and hunk megs to half your ram.

But remember, this is for those who know what they are doing, and what the results are.
