low-fps lag or low response to input lag?

Try "Show FPS" in the effects menu. What does it show?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Then:

install the current graphics driver for your card (which graphics card, BTW?)
reduce graphics settings in the menu, or press shift-escape, type "exec low.cfg; vid_restart" and press return.

2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS

Which ATI card?

Go on www.ati.com and download their current driver, and install it.

Sorry, I can't tell you more - I don't even use Windows.


If the new driver does NOT help, however, start Nexuiz, then:

Press Shift-Escape
Type "exec low.cfg; vid_restart"
Press Return
Press Escape

and try if that makes it playable.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

I use a german version of windows, but i try to translate it to proper english-windows language ;)

1. right-click on your desktop
2. choose Properties (should be the last point)
3. choose Settings
4. click Advanced
5. choose graphics-card (or something like that)

There you should get all the information about the type of your graphics card.
Then proceed like divVerent suggested and download the latest drivers here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

I hope that helps.

Btw. Welcome to the forums !

P.S.: The instruction was for Windows XP

got to http://ati.amd.com/ , click on drivers and software, click on your operating system (propably windows xp professional/home, click on integrated/motherboard, click on radean xpress 200, and click on go..
Now download the 'Catalyst Software Suite'..
THOUGH THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THIS SUITE HAS DRIVERS OF AMOST ALL ATI CARD AVAILABE AND THEY STILL WANT YOU TO KNOW AND CLICK ON ALL THE STUFF!!!! THATS CRAZY!!!
I'm not sure but maybe this download here works for you: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... _43737.exe
Thats what i got when i clicked on all that stuff..

On the other hand its not a very good/fast graphic card so i think you WILL have to lower a lot of settings to make things fast. First thing you should try to is to disable the 'OpenGL 2.0 Shaders' in the Options/Effects menu, i think it will make this faster for that card. But i'm not sure.
