Quake wars demo isnt smooth

anyone else notice this game doesnt run that well?

maybe the game is poorly optimized

It runs great on my box with all settings maxed except AA (which is set to 4x) in 1680x1050.

GeForce 8800GTS
AMD 64 X2 4200+
2GB DDR2-800

Maybe on Windows Vista.

...Then again, ALL programs are horribly optimized on Vista!

It runs pretty smoothly on my partially ancient rig:

2gb RAM 400 MHz

Ati Radeon 850XT

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700

with high settings.... :D

The only two things I can think of that might be the culprit is there might be a visual setting turned on (within the game) that is causing major slowdown or perhaps your drivers are not completely updated.MythPro1

I have the newest nvidia drivers

I also dualboot to XP so i went there and installed it in a different directory, it still runs pretty poor.. and thats at 1024 x 768 everything set high except for i think its dynamic lighting? or something.

i have a 22" monitor but i still get that tear effect as if the game is lagging a bit when i do turns and stuff, and i tried turning on V synch.

I'm running it smooth on 1024x768 maxed w/o AA. The game, overall is impressive in some ways. Making rank is way too easy and new abilities are given left and right, I find the shooting fair. But it lacks intensity most of the time and some of the vehicles aren't really fun to use.

The game is alright, but it's likely I'm not buying this.

im running it at 1280x1024 with max everything except for antialising, that's down to 2x. it looks awesome and plays awesome.

rig:

4 gigs of DDR2 RAM @ 800mhz

intel core duo 2 @ 2.13

I fear that Crysis is gonna run not very well, if Quake wars if anythng to go by.

the character models look ok, some parts of scenery do too.. but anyone else notice the ground textures look pretty outdated?

Outdated?

The texture system in Quake Wars is brand new and hasn't been seen in any game before. It's the new thing that Carmack brought to the table for this game. Instead of one texture being tiled everywhere, the maps are one giant texture with NO tiling.

The textures look fantastic to me.

Yeah, for all you Nvidia users. I read on another forum that there is a setting in the nvidia display settings, that has to be on. Here;

"Due to a driver bug in all versions of the NVidia drivers, ET:QW may be taking a big hit in FPS. In order to workaround this, go into your NVidia Control Panel, under 3D Options, and set "Multi Display Performance Mode" to "Single Display Performance Mode."

On an 8800GTX, this brought the FPS from 30 to 60+. I don't personally have an NVidia card, so I'm unsure as to the side-effects, but this will help ET:QW." (sponge) Forumn that I cited.

Hope that helps!

I got it to run very well, but I have heard that from a lot of people. I just didn't enjoy it that much.

I'm running the game in 1024x768, everything except ansio and AA is maxed. Get 45-50fps constant.

Specs: Amd Athlon 64 2800+ @1.87ghz, 1gb of ram, and an X1600 PRO... AGP.

It runs pretty well on my fairly generic machine.

3.0Ghz pentium 4, 1 gig RAM, and a geforce 7800GS

I have it maxed out at 1280x1024, except for AA. I gotta say it runs really smooth and looks really good unless I get into some crap server.

Unlike what a lot of people are saying, I like this game a lot. I think its really fun. I like that each class has its own types of missions and everyone plays a part. Anyone notice that the GDF seem to overpower the Strogg though? My one complaint, though, is the voice acting and some of the comedic comments... kinda cheesy.

Not sure what you could do to run it. Good luck though.

Gonna have to agree. i have a 7950 gt superoverclocked v.c. 4600+ dual core and 2 gigs mem. And the video card has a aftermarket fan that oc's it even more with thermal paste.

There is nothing smooth about this game(im used to bf2,fear,rb6 vegas,stalker,oblivion,arma).And all the graphics on the older games run extremly smooth maxed out. maybe because i dont have direct x10.Even the textures seem grainy and over done(way beyond stalker). The gun animation sucks and the sound is basic....maybe will see what happens after a patch comes out.btw..running new drivers on a nvidia card.

If anything I find that Strogg has a slight advantage but that's because I am a "nimble" player...I like to move fast and in all directions.

Just found out the game is capped at 30fps, no wonder it doesnt seem smooth as other games. I tried the commands from here http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2042but when i do that, i go into the game and fps jumps from 29-31 and basically doesnt budge from there unless i face a place where nothing is going on like up against mountain wall where it goes up to 60 that i unlocked it to with the commands.. which doesnt make ANY sense because i have a very good graphics card

i think something with this game is not right.

LOL ... can we all tell you you are noob ?

on a PC if it's not smooth, it's because you put the graphics too high for your settings

and your not even reading what i wrote man, i tried the lowest graphical settings and its still the same. Try reading what i type instead of skipping what i say.

Who's the noob now?
