Title: Choppy Video
Post by: Dan Pittman on April 06, 2000, 06:45:00 PM: P3 500 Voodoo 3 3000 O/C to 178 Win 98
DX 7.0a I have been flying AH since last
Sept. with no problems with in the last week
or so my terrain and picture is getting very
jerky. My fps are high 30 to 80s depending where I am? I recently put in the critical updates for win 98 including DX 7.0a and others including the enhanced sound files.
This problem just started recently has anyone had this happen to them? I understand choppy slide show if fps are low but mine are fine? My monitor is a Sony 17in. Any suggestions would be appreciated... handy

Post by: maddog on April 06, 2000, 08:21:00 PM: Not really but I bet its the sound file part.. One of my systems has a voodoo3500 and a Creative live or something.. when noise changed dramatically, like firing guns, video just hesitated for a sec or two...

Goto DUN (dial up connection) click on 'connections' , 'settings' , uncheck the show icon in taskbar thingy. At least that worked for me , and I have the same exact puter set up you do. At least thats my 2cents worth that I got from someone else.

Post by: Dan Pittman on April 07, 2000, 08:36:00 PM: I was able to turn off the online modem icon in the task bar but the dsl modem icon will not go away even when I click do not display in taskbar? I was just checking out the new version off line and noticed some jerky terrain in 1024x768. It's still playable but weird?... BTW thanks for the help... handy

Post by: Pollock on April 09, 2000, 02:35:00 PM: I am having the same problem, ran great with old version now it is choppy.

My puter: Cell 550, 128meg ram, voodoo banshee 16meg pci, saitex X36USB.

HT suggested renaming the "hirestex.res" file
this seamed to reduce it a little I will try a full Aces reinstall next.

Since I put in the new hires patch? I am
running at 1024x768 anyone had any luck running higher resolutions with a P3 500 and
voodoo 3 3000?

Post by: Heater on April 10, 2000, 02:34:00 AM: All,

I had the same problem and after the 1.02 update, I reinstalled the drivers for the Voodoo 3 3000 and it cleared the problem,
BTW also using the SB live with Liveware 2.01

Hope this helps

Post by: handy on April 14, 2000, 05:04:00 PM: Finally got it fixed I had taken out the connect icon but still had the dsl modem icon. If you right click on the dsl modem icon it has an option to hide it. With both of those icons out I am able to run in the 1280x1024 with no video problems at all..
Thanks for all the help...
