  • 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.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • I edited my last post to be more helpful as it was about the same info Strahlemann wrote, but he was faster..

    Sorry but you claim you have no idea about computer but think you can judge about that kind of software should run faster on you computer? GW has very different kind of graphics, has very different ways of doing graphic stuff and I really doubt GW has any of the advanced stuff Nexuiz has.. Realtime light and shadows for example.. actually only a handful of games do have those but its getting more common now. As we said you have to disable a lot of features to make Nexuiz run on your computer. I'm sorry if this sounded rude but try to run Doom3 on your computer. It has similar advanced stuff as Nexuiz.. Granted Doom3 will look a lot better but it has fucking millions of dollars behind it while Nexuiz is just a hobby project.

  • Well Guild Wars has about the same requirements as Nexuiz (except for the RAM memory, where you need at least 512 for Nexuiz to run well) for low details play. The part where Nexuiz may do a lot worse is adapting automatically it your system. While GW may set the details itself, Nexuiz doesn't as far as I know.

    So what you should do is lower the details in Nexuiz (in the game's main menu go to Options -> Effects and turn off the RealTime stuff for a start).

    OR

    As divVerent stated, while in the game:

    Press Shift-Escape
    Type "exec low.cfg; vid_restart" [while the graphics engine restarts you might see flickering & stuff]
    Press Return
    Press Escape

  • If you mean these maps, you just need to place the files you download in the "<nexuiz_dir>/data" directory (assuming nexuiz_dir is where you installed Nexuiz) and you'll see them in the maplist when you make a server.

    I don't remember how the Q3 maps pack is archived, if you mean that one, but the main idea is you should get the .pk3 files in the "<nexuiz_dir>/data" directory ;).

    I think this is what Urmel meant but as it wasn't clear to me others might get the same idea so I'll say to Shaggy: Have you even read what Zdrinca is saying!? Don't post things that are, I'm sorry to say but, right out stupid.
