  • No server, just a normal player. I was also trying to avoid having to shut down utorrent, etc while playing. I have had success with other games doing this. I usually give utorrent's ports low priority, the game high priority, and my pings and performance were the same with utorrent running and without. Maybe just having…
  • I don't know if I speak for the majority of the guys who would play...but I'd definitely be down if it wasn't on a Friday night. I figure most of the guys who play are older now and the days of staying in on Fridays to play video games are in the past. Not trying to sound like a dick or anything, just MHO.
  • Not sure what I'm actually getting, I have Vsync on.
  • To be honest nothing in the "Graphics" submenu made much of a difference for me. The "Texture" submenu is where I found the biggest changes. Unfortunately anything but max or near max makes the game look like crap.
  • So I uninstalled the card completely, and reinstalled it with the original install disc's catalyst drivers. The difference was night and day. I used to have drops down to 10-20 fps, now I'm at a solid 60 almost 100% of the time. We'll see how things go with different maps as the servers get more populated. Thanks for you…
  • Yea the structure thing happens even if I turn everything down to the minimum. Is there a way to force precache of the textures?
  • It seems like that is exactly the issue. The frame rate is silky until i start looking around quickly while up in the air. Then it gets jerky. If I'm in observer mode and keep looking around the same spot, it smooths out in a second or two. Problem is that during game play you are never looking from the same spot more than…
  • I assume it's like any other game, you find the file, open as a txt, and change whatever value? It was at 220, I tried 4096 (max?) and no change.
  • That being said, I still think it would be a cool mod to have. It would add even more strategy to choosing your loadout, instead of just packing on everything you can. Unfortunately I know nothing about Tribes mods, other than that I hate when the server with the mod I want to play is full.
  • I have tried with it both on and off, there's no difference. To be honest I notice no difference in any program with it on. Since it's a texture problem, I'm assuming it's probably the GPU. One more thing that I forgot, I used to have an X300 128MB card, on the same computer with 512MB of memory. That was back when Tribes…
  • I only turned up the Catalyst settings because I had to turn down the terrain texture details. It made absolutely no difference. And that is the only setting that changes anything. I have tried every graphics detail, every resolution. Even if I run at 640x480 it still jerks when I do a quick 180. The reason I think its an…
  • Yea I don't think so. I made a few cap attempts with nothing but the energy pack. I was no faster....and got owned quite quickly.
  • Yea I couldn't tell which one you meant, since you mentioned both P4 and crossfire. The game is definitely playable, just I have to turn the terrain textures down to about 75%. With the catalyst settings turned way up, I really only notice the texture difference when flying. I'd be willing to bet it's an ATI specific…
  • Hahaha no, just a single X800XL, it's in my signature. I've found it easier on sites like these to put my setup there so people don't have to look for it. Anyway that's my setup, and it doesn't look like it's going to be changing anytime soon, only so much money to go around dude. Either way it's gotta be some glitch in…
  • So I disabled multithread support in ATI Tray Tools, no difference. It's wierd, I can play with all the Catalyst settings on highest with no issues, just when I turn Terrain Textures up is when it gets jumpy when I make a quick 180. Probably something ATI related. I've learned my lesson.
  • I'll try using ATI tool or something, but its a single core processor with HT, so disabling HT removes the need to set the affinity, as the system only sees one CPU.
  • I also am having this issue, if anyone knows why I'd love to know. I disabled HT, no change. Everything is maxed out except for terrain texture detail, I have to keep that around halfway. My D3D frame rate is abysmal, so I'm running in OpenGL for now.
