framerates and 109

I think your right about the cpu speed being the culprit. I was greatly affected with my 533 mhz amd chip. There was a problem before 109 though. When I first started AH I had no problems at all, I was very happy with the game performance, then came the server problem with the T1 line or whatever, that was hit one, Then ver 109 came out, that was the killer. I can still play but alot of the fun has gone out of it for me, I still go on squad nights but I dont play the ma anymore. I'm hoping all these problems can be fixed but I dont have alot of faith that patch 2 will solve all the issues affecting gameplay here. Bottom line is, The single most important aspect of mmog's is playability. I have played alot of online games and I have seen lag and instability ruin alot of good games, I'm hoping it doesn't happen to AH.

I'm not familiar with that one.... Expound please.

Secondly, we talked online last night about manually setting my refresh on my monitor.... Mine offers me Optimal, Default, and 60; is a Hewlett Packard M50.  I think there is a patch/update, will update and try again.

As for PCI slots.... Pulled my modem card to clear an IRQ.  Moved my Audio up a slot, and nothing is in my slot adjacent to my AGP slot.  I have determined the nVIDIA drivers don't work well if you overlay them.  A complete manual uninstall seems to be the only way to change, and don't try to put older ones back in.  I did get the new ones working.

I completely reloaded Win98SE on Saturday.  Minimum install - Did all the updates, loaded Sound and Video drivers just to see what would happen... Didn't make much difference, if any.  I guess the only option left is to wait for the update :rolleyes:

Thanks again,

hmmm 60hz the only option....


BigMax take a look at RivaTuner, available from http://www.guru3d.com.
Some nVidia drivers had a bug disallowing any refresh rates above 60hz.  Now I'm not sure if that affected all OS's though.  The RivaTuner comes with the ability to work around this bug.



Your AGP aperture setting is in your BIOS, I think its in Advanced Chipset settings, but click around in there you will find it.
