it's because you are cursed: getting 37 fps with a game locked at 36 is obviously a cursed thing... Jochen Heistermann <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : 8j4rre$t5l$15$[email hidden]...

I loaded and installed the D3D patch. The good thing is it works the bad thing is the performance drops. In 640x480 I get only 28 frames on clear track and with 1024x768 it drops to 17 frames. Under the same conditions I get 36-37 frames with OpenGL. Whats wrong? Here is my system: P2-400 with Riva TNT1, 128 MB RAM and plenty of space on the harddisk. Jochen

Try tosshighestmip=1 Andrew McP

Texture trashing? Try reading the readmeD3D file and change the "tosshighestmip"-something... K.S. Br�nnick

Try the NVidia 5.22 Detonator2 drivers. If all else fails you should probably look into buying a 3d accelerator that's less than 3 generations old... -- Eric "Jochen Heistermann" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8j58k1$9p7$13$[email hidden]... > > I have put all that numbers on Zero as recommended.

Other people are reporting better performance with the D3D patch so don't know why you are not getting the same effect. I can't tell on my machine because I have always got max fps (36) with Glide, OpenGL and D3D on a P3 800@900mhz. Read the readme file that came with the patch and use the settings in the core.ini that they recommend if you haven't done so already. Maybe it's time for a new vid card and/or cpu. -- Nos

actually I'm running the demo on the same (similar) system... you just need to turn the double res mirrors to 0, since that card can't get much above 1024 if your lucky. And then turn off secular lighting, and possibly dynamic lighting. The game looks many times better than the OGL patch. So many people are calling the D3D patch crap compared to the other rasterizer, when it's really apples to oranges. The double mirror think is of course going to slow down the frame rates from the other rasters that don't have it. Eric Busch <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8j5afb$9er$[email hidden]...

Try reading the file next time, instead of just skimming through it. Many settings shoulkd be on 1 for optimal performance. Tosshighestmip=0 will need about 15 mb of texture memory. KSB

Well i am experiencing the same problems, and have tried a lot of things to make it better. I do believe that the TNT 1 card is getting a bit tired compared to all the new geforce cards. At this moment in time it looks like we are stuck with the OpenGL patch, which isn't half bad with the right drivers. Bolt "K.S.

I have absolutely no problem running GPL on a TNT with the 5.22 drivers and the D3D patch, i just did EXACTLY as the the readme said Sudesh "Bertel Bolt-J�rgensen" wrote:
