Quake Wars is FUBAR, being capped at 30fps

juno_first · 27 Sep 2007 at 21:20

Are the makers of QuakeWars having a joke?
At 30fps everything stutters & its hard to target a bot.
Has it been designed for a joypad/console?
Dont they want to scare slower pc owners?
Why have a vsync option if the game wont do more than 30fps?
Whats the point in buying a £350 graphics card if you cant play at a nice smooth 60/90fps?

I presume everyones demo is capped at 30fps or is it an nvidia thing?

Ps. Wheres DX10, this is 2007!

PPS. Good playing game, like 2142 with higher res textures :rolleyes:

com_unlock_timingmethod 0
com_unlock_maxfps 90 , 120 etc.

Use them to unlock the fps , only works for online.

there is an issue with mutli screen rendering and the game, check google about it.

it lags like a bitch until you switch it to single screen rendering

juno_first · 27 Sep 2007 at 21:43

ahh ta, thought there may be a fix, I'll give it a go
Seams a shame not to play a fine game just because of a major bug or blackmale to get you play online.

i run two screens

i noticed the game takes up the 2nd screen which is unusual

is this whats slowing it down ?

I'm running single screen settings and with all settings on highest 16xAF 16xAA my FPS are 18/35. Very poor, needs a patch ASAP, disappointment with my specs:
C2D @ 3.2
8800GTX
4GB OOZ @ 800mhz
If I turn off shadows I can manage to pull a massive 29/40FPS :mad:

my 2nd screen caused for a 2 fps in the menu, and sub 1 fps ingame at lowest gfx settings, while with just 1 screen, I could play it fine almost maxed.

it's the aa that hits fps for me (on the demo) as soon as i raise it above 2x it becomes jerky (everything else max) - i have an 8800GTX and i've noticed it in other games too. spec: Q6600 @ stock, 4gb crucial ballistix @ 1066mhz, 8800GTX

Funny turning AA off doesnt effect my FPS but turning down the AF does give me a performance boost

Turn down the AA, if your playing at a decent rez and on a good monitor there is no need for anywhere near 16xAA.

lol

the day had to come sooner or later didnt it ?

that the games caught up with the hardware. Not in a long time have we had hardware that was capable of running games at the very highest settings at 16 x AA

It uses an OpenGL renderer

Crowze · 2 Oct 2007 at 20:05

Not sure if it's applicable in this case, but I had terrible performance until I unset 'Force DXT3' I think it was, in the nVidia control panel (well, nHancer actually but it's the same thing). Smooth as butter now.

juno_first · 2 Oct 2007 at 22:52

OpenGL LOL
Wheres 2007 OpenGL !!!! gimme some eye candy yum yum
Mine never goes above 30fps no matter what settings I use

stifler · 2 Oct 2007 at 22:59

i think its a corkin game(possibly the best release this year so far). my fps is 30-40 outdoors and 45-60 indoors but its that smooth that you'd think i was double that, aint even found a laggy server yet

Think you'll find its game not the hardware, hense people with 7800GT's getting more FPS than 8800GTX users. Awaits patch.......

I get around 50-60fps outside, more inside. This is at 2560x1600 (3007WFP-HC)with all settings on full apart from full AA. Single 8800gtx.
