Correct settings ?

Recommended Posts

I'm playing the mission Patently Dangerous at the moment . I've been experiencing a sluggish rate of play with this mission , for example , when I try to run as opposed to walking the game freezes and I have to turn off the computer to exit . The graphics also freeze for a few seconds when say drawing an arrow ready to shoot etc.

Don't know whether this helps but my Doom 3 setting are :-

Video medium quality ( although I can set this to high without problems )

640-680 screen size

Full screen yes

Doom itself runs perfectly o.k

 

Dark Mod settings :-

aspect ratio 16.9

screen 1920 x 1080

full screen yes

vertical sync no

antializing off

texture 2 x

ambient standard

interaction shade standard

bloom off

 

my computer is 1996 mhz

with 1536 mb ram

Radeon 9550

 

Can some kind person please let me know how I can ( if indeed I can ) tweak the above settings to ensure a less sluggish game. As I say, Doom itself seems to run o.k so it may be one of the settings. Thanks in anticipation !

My old system had a Radeon 9600. The thing that really choked it was screen resolution. I'd recommend running the screen resolution much lower.

 

On my monitor (LCD native 1920x1080), 1280x720 still looks very good. That's a difference of 763200 pixels that have to be calculated!

Thanks for the quick replies folks , will try out your suggestions. I accept that the Radeon is a ( very ) budget card. It's been o.k for me though up until now and can't be bothered to revamp my system at the moment so will juggle with the resolution as you say.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
