John1545 Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 I load maps VERY slow, and I have no clue what the probelm is. Is there any tweak that I can do to speed it up? Here are my system specs: 1.4ghz Pentium 4 256mb PC800 RDRAM 60gb 7200rpm Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 Hard Drive Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 platnium sound card ATI Radeon 8500 128mb DDR Video Card
Andy867 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 You may want to try updating your video drivers from ATI's website which will have the latest CATALYST drivers for your card/Operating System. Also, what resolution are you running the game in, and do you have any programs running in the background, and do you have the VIDEO DETAILS maxed out, or what?
John1545 Posted April 15, 2003 Author Posted April 15, 2003 I have the details maxed out, no programs running in the background and I have the latest drivers.
griff38 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Well what is slow? 2 minutes, 20 minutes? My maps always seem to take for ever. Try this, open the consol and start a map from there. For example pick a big map like narshadda and type this: /devmap ffa_ns_streets this will start that map, look at the consol that should still be up. You should see a statement like "600 milliseconds to load all items". If you get a number, post it here. I'll check back later.
Andy867 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 80 seconds really isn't that bad considering all that has to be done to render the maps, especially the larger ones, and with the details maxed out, it has to work even harder to draw them, which takes up even more time.
John1545 Posted April 15, 2003 Author Posted April 15, 2003 But people with slow computers load faster than me (with details maxed out)
Andy867 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Well it also depends upon the card. Also, try disabling the EAX in the setup for the sound... EAX is known to cause problems here and there
griff38 Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Originally posted by John1545 80 seconds I would be happy for 80, mine is usually higher. Andy is correct, make sure EAX is off, it's overated. I don't think there is anything wrong with your system.
