More than likely that onboard vid card cant handle it........time to upgrade

Yeah the Intel IGP with 32 meg won't handle it by a LONG shot.  Need a GF4 or Radeon for decent results.

Yeah ... 0 fps offline here. The irony of it all. I waited over a year and a half to play AH until I could buy a system that could handle it (8 months ago) and now I have to upgrade to continue to play once the beta becomes the full release. Oh well ....

sez lez vez and all.

I was planning on upgrading anyhoo. Just haven't stashed the cash to do it now. Here's hoping it stays "beta" for awhile.

buying sucky cheap systems just to stay behind the norm - heh

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67 gig)
256 meg or ram (yeah, I know)

The wife is laughing her arse off. :rolleyes:

Title: FR Zero on Ah2 Beta
Post by: chipster on October 15, 2003, 10:42:09 PM

framerate zero right from the start. I have a Hercules 3D Profet 4500 64Mb video card, Win98SE, a ton of ram, and AH1 ran great. it takes 2-3 minutes per frame right now, this is not good. What do I need to do?

Post by: GScholz on October 16, 2003, 05:40:25 AM

You say you use the drivers that came with the PC.

First go to http://www.nvidia.com and upgrade your video card drivers, very important!

Secondly use DirectX 8.1 minimum. Dx9 if you can.


I have only one question though, what the he!! is Gadu-Gadu ?!? :D

Post by: mora on October 16, 2003, 05:51:55 AM

If you want to get optimum performance from your card get your drivers from here: http://www.omegacorner.com/

Omega drivers in performance mode boosted my FPS a lot. Overclocking helps too and theres a tool with those drivers that helps you to find the limits of your vid card.

If you have a VIA chipset in your MOBO, then you should get latest 4in1 drivers from here:http://www.viaarena.com/

If you want to tweak some more you should try to disable un-needed services in Windows XP, instructions here: http://www.blkviper.com/

Cmon guys it has posted time and time again you will need at least a GF2 to play this game.  Intel onboard graphics, or anyother onboard graphics wont cut it........and for those of you with TNT2 boards........uh welcome to 2003 that card is 4-6 years old.  Pony up and drop $70-$100 for a new vid card.

you have the intel 32mb onboard video card ... Pent 2/ celrons came with that combo alot... I had one once and it lost its Frames rates back in verson 1.09...  bet its a hp also ...

It will never play ah2 . sorry ..  but if it has a asus mobo in it they have a agp slot on them ussually and its an easy upgrade on a better video card..

If you do not have a dedicated Video card (one that isn't attached directly to the MOBO, you wont be able to play this game.

I hope that 32MB memory is your onboard Video and not RAM :)

To find out how fast your system is:

Click start, then click Run; type DXDiag in the box and hit enter.
then copy the important info to Microsoft Word, or here.

I don't think that makes sense...graphics don't look that  good in the screenshots I saw.
Maybe HTC should optimize their code.
