Optimalization

[bigfoot]

Hi there again!
I have Celeron 1700mhz, 640 mb-ram, Ge-Force FX5200 128mb
and I can´t find good UT2K4 optimalization for me. I am using 1024x768 and every detail on low except textures and character detail-they are high. But I am getting just about 15 fps or less (with 8 bots) and I don´t see any differents between 1024x768 and 800x600. My friend have Duron 1400mhz with 128 mb-ram, some 64mb Radeon and he is getting about 25 fps with max number of bots on every map. Do you know some good advice how to raise fps up? Thank you

Sorry for that crappy english

Strange, set it to 1024, crank all the details high, reduce shadows to off or blob (they don't help anyway...) and take off weapon decals. Try that.

Lol, it will be worse than before.

Shadows are pretty nasty... they might help. Put the rest at medium.

If necessary, drop it to 800... I prefer smooth over pretty. Kinda like my women.

You're cruel Uwasa...


Try this, set it to 800x600, set shadows completely off (biggest bog of most games) and details down too, decals and etc off (for now) and then ut it into window mode. "Alt+Enter during the game" usually does the trick, you can maximize it so the minimized version is spread out across the entire desktop, but the toolbar still shows, which helps a whole lot.

True, windowed mode works very well... I had the problem where I had widescreen, but not a PC strong enough to support widescreen resolutions... talk about dumb...

And yeah... I can be cruel... can't help it...

Lol, it don´t help too much. but now, I am getting over 50 fps at KF 2.1 main menu
