Low FPS?

Post by **Milan** » 01 Jul 2010, 20:51

Yeah, I discover how...

But the most important is that I don't have turn on any program and it's showed me some 30 processing and Hopeless 2 isn't turn on

Should I turn off all these programs? Btw, Hopeless 2 took me about 50% after 1 hour of playing... Might be cos my laptop become warm after 1h of playing...

Be sure you don't have any "processor sucker" apps running when the browser is open.
And again, close any other browser windows or tabs (they waste RAM).

Remus Sorry,

but I'm just an old man who does not know much about computers. How do I get this test??

Think, it is always very good to help an old person ....

Come on Marcos ...
- launch the game and set "MouseLook = OFF" in the starting menu.
- find a VIP camp with 6-7 players (you may also try on "Beginners"

) and join.
- right mouse click on the Taskbar (at the bottom of the screen) and select "Task Manager".
- select the "Processes" tab and take a screenshot.
That's all.

Good.
Now let's tune up the Windows OS a little bit.
Control Panel / System / Advanced / Performance Settings / Advanced / Virtual Memory Change.
You said you have 4GB RAM, so set "Custom Size",
Initial size = 4096
Maximum Size = 6144

Reboot and you should notice a better RAM management.
The game should also run better after 30, 60, 90,... minutes

Yes.
As you can see, the current values are wrong.
You have 2GB initial swap, but the recommended value is above 4GB.
Set both values (initial and maximum) to 6144 (6GB) if your HDD has enough free space (>25GB and >25% for "C" partition).

It won't let me rollback to XP. I can't upgrade to W7 either. I don't know why. It's stupid!!

But I will show you my motherboard and maybe you can tell me a few options.

I read that ANY type of graphics card will blow onboard graphics away, so I'm thinking of just getting a 20 dollar small card (I don't know what those slots are called) because, remembe, graphics cards wont work in my PCI slot for some reason. What's the other called? I have some card with the phone line hookup in it that is my graphics (for all I can tell) because my graphics go blurry if I pull it out.

All I need is a stable 30/50 FPS. It would be a gigantic improvement over the 10 I average in a full camp or with 2 or 3 bad connections (even after the last set of updates, my PC evolved and now it's bad again

!!!)

And also, I want to make sure I get the right type of memory for my mainboard. I'm thinking of upgrading to either 3 or 4 GB, but tell me if it's a wasted effort.

You know, I've wasted money already on a graphics card that wouldn't work and the wrong type of memory.

If you need to see all my specs, I have 'em snapped and ready...

And for craps and giggles, here's my current graphics setup. I don't know what I'm looking at here and thus don't know how to go about replacing it with a working option.

1) - you cannot add the 2nd GB or RAM
- you cannot use that 9600GT graphics card
- you cannot install Windows XP.
How the hell do you want to improve something if you don't change anything?

2) you didn't tell me that your mainboard does not have PCI Express slot.
:smash:

It means that your Commodore 64 is using AGP (x4 or x8) slot for graphics.
Search for any Nvidia GeForce 6600GT or 7600GT with AGP slot.
They are very cheap and you'll notice a HUGE performance boost in 3D games.

I can upgrade the memory, but I got the wrong type of memory.

I got my money back for the memory module, so it's all good.

I read this, tell me if it's t/f: You have to get the same type of memory your computer uses. So I would need to get DDR2 memory.

I had got some PCsomething-or-other memory because it was cheap. The modules looked the same to me, so I thought it was all good.

And, this is what I read on a site when I was testing my mobo's compatibility: "How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB."

So I'm assuming this means I can upgrade my 32-bit Vista to 3GB of memory.

And I do have a PCI slot, but it's this retarded slim design of my Inspiron - once I put that big-ass card in there, it wasn't recognized. But a smaller one that fits might do the trick.

Regardless, I'm shopping ONLY at places with a return policy!

1) 3GB is a bad choice.
You need 2 modules (2x1GB or 2x2GB). Be sure both of them are DDR2-667 or DDR2-800
2) Yes, it's true.
Any 32bit OS cannot access more than 2^32 = 4GB I/O addresses.
So function of your mainboard resources and graphics card VRAM, if you have 4GB system RAM,
you can use less than 3.25GB of them.
3) Vista was a Microsoft bad move (the same as Millenium, 10 years ago).
A collection of bugs ...

XP-SP3 or Windows 7 are MUCH better options.
But if you're stuck with that Vista ... just go ahead.
4) Nvidia 8600GT (as I recommended you a long time ago) has the best performances/price result.
It's also much smaller than 9600GT.

I'm looking at a series of low profile cards now that fit an AGP slot.

I'll tell ya one thing: These types of cards are almost extinct!

I guess everyone else got the memo that the Commodista is BAD NEWS!

And are you saying that 2GB is the best option? Or to get 4 so it can access the 3? I don't want to waste time/money.

AGP slot for the graphics card???
You said "PCI Express" slot.
You cannot have them both.

Josh, don't play with these things.

I told you about one of my testing systems (3 years old):
Core 2 Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2-800, GeForce 8600GT, XP-SP2, Internet Explorer 6.
49-50 FPS is full camp (8 players) on any map!
Here is the (cheap) graphics card:

I changed the numbers and restarted the computer ... I played about 90 me ...

My FPS with 5 jopgadores is stable at 49/50 but with more than six players he is unstable. Ranging from 49 until 22/50

Playing in CTF it was stable at 50/50. At other times he started with and ended with 50/50 32/50

Already made a big difference ...

No. I wasn't talking about both. You said get an AGP slot card, so that's what I was looking at. I'll need a low profile card (because of the slim case) and I'm also checking the power supply and all that....

That card pictured looks nice, but it's MASSIVE. Full profile cards won't fit. I need one of those little ones.

My PC is the exact opposite of women - look at it that way!

To stay at 49 FPS with 7-8 players you also need 2 other good components:
1) a fast (and expensive) network card (router).
More players means more network data to be processed.
2) powerful soundcard (such as Audigy 2, 4, etc).
Most of the onboard soundcards eat a bunch of processing power.
p.s.
Your processor is an older dual-core version.
A Core 2 Duo is about 40-50% faster than your processor (at the same clock).

Remus!!!

I just spent 3 hours talking to the Dell support tech about what type of video card will work on my system.

This guy HATES me!

I asked him about 600 questions, everything from the PSU to the slot and how to install the low profile bracket!

I only had 6 options, so I picked the most powerful card to run on a 250w PSU.

I ordered the Radeaon X1300 DMS59 256MB GDDR2 PCI

I hope it's good enough. I know it's not tops, but I'm sure it will be better.

Now, before I order the memory (yes, 1 hour of the chat had to do with compatible memory

but I forgot one question), is it better to just get 2 1GB sticks or to get 2 2GB sticks? I know that my max memory is 3GB, but will having the extra 1GB technically hurt anything or slow it down? Or will I not experience a performance boost at all with max compared to 2GB?

Oh, $124.99 for the card, btw. There go this week's groceries!

GeForce 8600GT is faster (at the same price), but Radeon X1300 is not bad.

On a 32bit OS, 2x1GB RAM is the best match.
But if you found some 2x2GB modules at good price, go ahead.
Stay away from 3 or 4 RAM modules, because there is a big chance to get stability issues.

Josh,

Here is a Radeon X1300 benchmark:

Radeon_X1300.jpg

Note: not included in this benchmark, GeForce 8600GT is about 150% faster than Radeon X1300.
But I'm sure you'll notice a significant performances boost.

I talked to the guy and looked around myself forever and just couldn't find any of the GeForce models you talked about that were both A) low profile and B) 250w or less.

For anything else, I'd have to make case modifications and/or a PSU upgrade.

The guy said the reason my last card didn't work wasn't because any slot or compability issues with the mainboard. It was that I was trying to run a 400+w card with a PSU that wouldn't even cut it on.

I've read reviews about the card I got. I realize it's extremely low end.

But compared to onboard, I'm positive it's a 10x improvement with the new memory too!

I think scappit has had the same problem as me with low fps for the last month since the VIP map

. This morning i have taken all my internet plug-ins out of its folder except director shockwave and put them in a new folder.My fps are now ranging from 40 to 12 which is not great but is better than 25 to 4 which is what it has been for over a month. When i can be bothered i will put the plug-ins back one by one to see which ones are affecting my fps. I don't know if this is a good idea but my fps are defiantly higher. This was all on mac but maybe you can do this on windows or maybe I'm telling you something you already know

Post by **Timberwolf** » 17 Jul 2010, 11:18

I've been struggling as well. I hardly play anymore. I make about 50 kills per week.

I just simply can't compete anymore. Low FPS. Freezing camps. Impossible-to-kill players.

It's like overnight everyone suddenly got faster, harder to aim at, and half flat out become invincible.

I purchased a new graphics card and memory and I'm having worse problems now than before. So if Scrap's dealing with any technical camp problems, then I definiely feel his pain!

Basic unregistered players in the beginner camps kill me. Honestly. I can't even beat them these days.

Lenny,

This isn't anything Remus did. If anything, he's been updating it constantly to make it better so people with bad PCs like mine can have a better experience.

I never expected him to do that much.

Here's my theory on why the gameplay is "different" now.

Most of the players who have settled in have done so due to some reverse Darwinism. Because of worse connections, only the poorer quality ones play so often. The majority of the players are from far, far away from the server. When they get packed in there, it goes from bad to worse.

They can only compete with one another. The rest of us cannot compete against them.

This is what I think has happened. It's nobody's "fault." It's just how it happened out.

Do what I'm doing (eventually when I get time) in marketing the game locally to get some better quality options in camp. More players from the UK and more players from America will have a higher probability--no guarantee, obviously--of having better connection quality. Thus the FPS will be better and overall gameplay will be better.

Here are two recent entries:
Zcyber : (18/37) , 26 warnings in 5 minutes (15+11)
ahmet : (16/41) , 27 warnings in 5 minutes (16+11).
Most of the players with bad connection have something in common:
they lose data packets!
It means chaotical movement and lost bullets (from machine guns mostly).
Also, if you don't have a poweful processor, the players with bad connection
will decrease your FPS value (because they send bursts of packets to keep the 28 medium value).
The new feature I'm working on will get rid of players with horrible connection.
In addition to that, you'll be able to set some filters for your camp:
- no restrictions
- good connections only
- very good connections only

Post by **Lenny** » 17 Jul 2010, 12:16

Many players are having the same problem of low fps. Who didn't have before is there not something you can do

What about a camp for players who have been members for 6,12 or 18 months would that make any difference. I know Remus is very dedicated and works hard to make the game the best it possible can. It's just sad to not see players of old. I have seen gunul once in three weeks.

After I set my HDD to maximum performance (I'm not really sure what that does per se lol) and got another gig of memory, my blue light freezes have stopped. The light doesn't even flash fast anymore when I load up the game.

Can I also set my processor to a higher capacity or something?

35 / 50 very low fps please help me

Kuja, that's actually decent quality FPS.

Very low would be 15 and under. I've played with 11/50 for most of my time at the game.

Rarely do I get over 30 in a camp for a prolonged period.

But here are a few quick things you can do to improve your FPS.

1: SHut off all your other programs! Turn off MSN, WL, Yahoo, other browsers, etc!!! You don't need these.

2: Don't use cheat engine

3: Make sure your PC is nice and clean w/o bugs and all that.

4: Use IE6/7 and not other browsers, especially IE8

5: Right click on your desktop and find your graphic control panel (if you have onboard) and turn off the antialiasing.

Beyond that, I don't know of any more.

An extra gig of RAM and extra memory allocated to my video helped my FPS a lot.

I didn't know where else to post this.

My FPS is a lot better now (although it really SUCKS in VIP if there are more than 5 people in camp), but my typing is WAY worse than it's ever been.

Even if I'm just going into the camp, I'll press enter to type and "wwdd" pops up. And if I've been playing 5 minutes, fuggedabboudit! All I see for an hour is wwwsssddwwssddssdddsswwwssdssww.

I can't use any of the commands.

It was never this bad, even when my PC sucked more. I don't get it.

EDIT:

If I fooled with my keyboard buffer, would that make a difference? What if I increased the size by 50x or something?
