Hello, new player to darkmod (not new to the Thief serie) , after getting the torrent finished i decided to give a try, loaded the training mission to test how it would be. After a longer loading time than i expected, i was having lots of fun noticing the gameplay being very close to my beloved Thief 2 in the stealth rooms , i decided then to get to the melee/archer rooms. In the archer room i had some noticable fps drop, i don't know if it's normal though (never played doom3 so i have no idea how the engine is), while i didn't noticed such thing during the stealth fun i just had. Then i moved to the melee room and ouch, when i am in this situation , viewing the melee "arena" this way : the framerate is incredibly low despite there's not much i see there, while when i enter in the arena to fight, the game is back at being playable, once out of the arena, same thing if i look the room as in the screenshot, it's worrying me as it's only a training mission and supposedly smaller than a big one. I read the faq and applied the settings suggested when they weren't already there, and even went as far as disabling the bump map (r_skipbump set to 1) , giving the game a nice Thief 2 - like look (no bump maps in those oldies) that i actually liked, improving a bit the framerate in the archer room. But still the melee room has that horribly slow framerate when you see the arena. At that point i don't know anymore if it's something wrong in the mission itself, if it's a setting that i should turn off and have no idea about (despite i turned off a lot more than suggested), or if it's simply the doom engine that does not play well with my system in specific conditions encountered in that melee room point of view. Any idea ?
