bad FPS and annoying bug, ect

[pvt.Johnson]

hi i am on a mac and i am getting terrible FPS, one sec it will be 55 fps then it will dive to 15 i dont get it. bots really lag my comp and online isnt to good either. i have all the effects off and playing on a low res with low texture detail but i still get major lag.

i use control for alternate fire and if i hold it down and try to move at the same time i get this error "unknown charter 19" and my player starts moving around with out me controling him.

there are two launchers that came with Nexuiz, one is called Nexuiz and one is called Nexuiz-SDL, which one does a mac user use?

i only have 32mb of vram and 1Ghz but i can play some other games just fine, please help. thanks.

The problem is rather the polygon count of the player models - it is known, but unfortunately we have a lack of modelers.

Thanks for reporting, I will look into it. I did the OS X build, but I have a three-button USB mouse plugged in so I didn't notice. Hope I'll find the cause for the patch to 2.0.

The one that works better for you. Can you try to reproduce your bug with the other one?

The CPU clock shouldn't be the problem, but what graphics chip do you have? If it's a Radeon 9200, bad luck. I have the same - and it is too slow for playing. The only thing that helps there is "r_showsurfaces 1", but you get high from that when playing too long with it on.

Any card with 32mb of ram will have a hard time with nexuiz 2.0. Mainly becouse of the amount textues used, but also like div0 says the poly count of the models. There is a control variable (cvar) that allows you to lower the quality of the tetxures by reducing their size. this will ofcourse make the game look less good but will most likely help your fps. The cvar in quesion is gl_picmip. First try the "low config" shiped with nexuiz like this:

open the console (~key or shift+esc) and type in

Code: Select all

exec low.cfg ; vid_restart

if this still dont help you can try

Code: Select all

gl_picmip # ; vid_restart

Where # is a number. the higher the number the lower quality textures are. low.cfg sets it to "2".

Another thing to try and lower the res from the options->video menu.


Hope this helps you.

i will try some of the stuff you two mentioned.

the control bug only occurs in the Nexuiz launcher, the nexuiz-SDL seems to be the better version......

i noticed in one of the first versions of Nexuiz the game ran fine on my computer, all the later versions lagged like heck. what happend?

Texture other eyecandy amounts inreased to meet popular demand. i never played 1.0 myself, but from what i hear it was preddy slow? oh well thats history now anyways

do you guys plan to fix this high polygon count in future versions? its a real shame i cant enjoy this game.........

so as you can see, we lack modelers to redo them

future version?

[esteel]

Did exec low.cfg;vid_restart in the console help with your FPS? I admit i have more powerful hardware but its also a tremendous increase in FPS if i use low.cfg (vs normal.cfg which is used by default).

[pvt.Johnson]

how do i know if it works? will the screen reset or something.

btw, on the map "skyway" i am getting LOTS of lines and rips in the graphics........ (low qaulity? but still doesnt explain why that would happen)
