Level 11 unplayable in single player campaign?

[jgodfrey]

Hi All,

New Nexuiz User here. I'm playing through the single player campaign and have run into a problem at Level 11.

Through level 10, the game has performed flawlessly. It's been very quick, fluid, and easy to control. Turning on the FPS meter, I seem to get between 60 and 80 fps on my aging system.

When I try to play level 11 though, the FPS drops to about 2 - 4 fps, which is obviously completely unplayable. It's so bad in fact, that it's hard to even get the system to respond enough to recognized the <ESC> press to back out of the level.

If we need to go into hardware details and current software settings, I can do that. Before we do though, is there anything "different" about level 11 that could cause such a horrible degradation in performance?

Thanks for any input.

Jeff

Strength is quite a system intensive map. I have found that there are certain sections of it which can be very bad with Deluxe mapping enabled. Have you got any forms of bump mapping enabled? Try disabling them.

Maybe you can try to play this Level with Low settings. It still looks nice too!

Thanks guys. It seems that I just had to tone things down some to make level 11 playable. I was just surprised to see my frame rate drop from the 60-80 of previous levels to a about 2 on level 11 with the same settings...

Anyway, I've toned things down a bit and now I'm getting about 120 fps on level 11.
