Warping like Star Trek

[Nemeth]

Your onboard vid card will run AH from 45-90 FPS easily, i have a GeForce 5200 and it runs AH anywhere from 30-70 FPs

[USRanger]

Taking off vertex processing seems to have made a big difference.  Framerates are under control and a lot less warping.  What exactly is it used for?  The only prob.  I have now is a little warping and I can see about 1 or 2 pixels worth of my desktop around the entire edge of my screen while in-game.  Nothing major, but a little irritating.

[Nemeth]

wow... weeks of changing every other setting imaginable its finally fixed...  lol
idk what the vertex actually does, but when its turned off on my comp the aa puffs only show 1/4 and things disappear on me
oh and the desktop thing i sorta get that when ever i black out i get 1-2 pixels of the game around the boarder... you may be able to fix that by matching the resolution in AH to your desktop or make it bigger/smaller
eg. desktop 1152 x 864, AH 1152 x 864 > 1280 x 1024

[USRanger]

Still getting weird graphic anomolies.  Could I have a bad (brand new!) video card?

[FBJoker]

SOunds like a few of us are having this same little prob. I just got a new rig with the AMD 64 x2 4600+ 2 gig of ram and just dropped an NVidia Geforce 7300GT in it and am warping all over the place !!!!!:mad:  As with what Ranger is saying its ONLY AH thats giving me an issue.

Almost forgot this My Net status in game looks like an EKG

This is getting

[FBJoker]

Well ranger if your rig has an Nvidia Network controler there is an update for the drivers and such

I updated them this morning @ about 0400 didnt seem to help but @ around 1130 i jumped on and my lag/ warping is gone and i'm even downloading a few things ( Games and Apps ) in the back ground and have all my detail levels cranked up... So idk whats changed in the past 7 hours but if it helps heres the link for the new network controler drivers

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp32


hope it helps



 I forgot to mention i kicked the textures back in my vid settings to 512 instead of 1024 so see if that helps

[USRanger]

Thx Joker, I'll definetely give it a shot.

[Monster0]

I should read all posts before I reply.

[FBJoker]

Well I'm my machine is running the game just fine with the textures @ 1024 w/the hi res pack in so idk whats going on also i'm not running any updated drivers on my card but the ones that where in the box

I agree, but this is a brand new off-the-shelfer.  The only things I changed were the vid card & power supply.  Also, AH is the ONLY program/game/whatever that is giving me any problems whatsoever.  This is my first AMD system & I hate it already.  Long live intel!

What was your original VC, was it by chance an onboard chip??

If so you may have issues with the old drivers...which will reload (at least they do on my compaq box). I have a "onboard ATI" and it caused all kinds of issues. The culprit was the driver that controlled the memory clock....run a drive cleaner {I recommend nasty file remover} and see what you have.....

[humble]

should have read thru....

Any MB with onboard drivers has a conflict if you switch to another chipset. If you built it yourself its easy to fix...U erase the relevent drivers. The retail boxes invariably have some type of idiot feature that reloads these drivers. My compaq has a seperate HD partition {8G} specifically set aside with the system restore. I had to Fdisk the thing to kill the gremlins....

[Nemeth]

problems may also lie within AH, i assume that AH was originally built for a 32 bit processor instead of the 64 bit processors that you guys are having problems with...   Rangfer if u want to get rid of the 1/2 pixles of destop try adjusting ur monitor manually until they go off the edge of the screen

[USRanger]

Copy that.  Will try ALL of em, trust me.
