My FPS is great now BUT
« on: December 12, 2001, 05:48:00 PM »
When I get real close, like 300d from an enemy my graphics stutter like crazy (round 2 seconds for each frame) and its impossible to fire guns or do anything at all.

I just reinstalled my entire system, installed 7.58 Det drivers.  This doubled my FPS from around 30-35 to 60 (capped).  I had this prob b4 but can't remember how to fix it.


Any help would be appreciated, thanx

Sounds like a modem thing, either your sharing IRQ's, or go through the "Dail up networking" properties and turn down the connect speed to 19200, and in the advanced tab uncheck the "use error control". You can also slow down your "FIFO buffers" to something like 1 notch from the left.

Hope something helps.

Just an idea but try this ...

1>Double left click My Computer / Double left click Dial-Up Networking Under "Connections" in the Menu bar choose "Settings" / A menu will pop up and you should uncheck the first box "show an icon on taskbar after connected".
2> Right click your dial-up connection in the Dial-Up Networking window / Choose properties/ On the "General" tab, hit the modem "Configure" button / On the "Options" tab, uncheck "Display Modem Status".

Their are 2 things to uncheck.

I am getting this same stutter tonight.  First night I've noticed it, no changes made to computer set up.  Haven't played a lot recently (around 2 hrs this tour) but I was playing sunday night I think and this wasn't happening.  Mic is muted in sound set up and not selected in recording set up.  I did install ah voice tonight, but I was logged in once with it running and once without and noticed it both times.  
Any suggestions?  It looks like a lot of people are experiencing this tonight.  It is weird that it would be a latency issue that would cause a frame rate drop with it.
I did notice that it seems related to the size of the plane being drawn on the screen, possibly when it makes a switch to a more detailed model (I'm speculating about that) because it happens around d350 but if I'm zoomed in (most of the way with the [] keys) it'll happen around d700.  So far I've just noticed it with planes from other countries but I haven't gotten close enough to any friendlies to know if the same would happen.
Here are my system specs:
AMD 1.2ghz T-Bird
Epox 8K7A MB
512MB PC2100
Inno3d Geforce 2 Pro Graphics Card
3Com Ethernet Adapter connected to cable modem. (not on dial up)
Windows ME

TIA,
sequence

Yo Reboot

 This mite not help ur particular prob, I c it once in a while also, (cable also)seems to happen more when there is alot of ppl on and ur net status is looking like a saw blade.

 Had small screen freezes(sec or 2) using the latest det drvrs, went back to 21.83's and freezes r gone.

 If you havn't done it yet got to web page
 Get the sguide_me patch and install, for 98 get the 386 patch and install it first then the sguide. These have given me an avg speed of 1.4mbs- 2mbs dependin on traffic.

I've had the same problem for a month or so.  Radeon 64 DDR here.  Going to 16-bit reduced the problem, but it's still there.
It predated the first release of AH voice (I think).
