Yeah...this thread makes it quite apparent that it is, very much so, CPU based.

Looks fairly standard

Play a Tom Clancy game if you want shadows...this is Quake.

You need at least 2 people to start a match.

Shotgun is very powerful, and plasma is just fine if you learn how to use it.

I was skeptical, but by just installing these drivers I gained 8-10 FPS in the ggl-timedemo.

x800XL

Looks very nice, but is it just me or is the scale slightly off? Its just you. Scale is 1:1 from Quake 3 (I know because A) I have texture wit hgrids on them to help me and B) I have decompiled the original map JUST for scales). It may look odd, it may be the view height difference, but its all 1:1...

Also, when I run that ggl timedemo it says invalid token or something. I can only timedemo regular demos, not netdemos. How are you guys doing the timedemo with that demo file? I dont recall the exact error I was getting, but it wouldn't allow me to play that demo until I renamed it, removing the h...

Performance is actually reduced when using an X800 XL.

Looking nice so far

use the image_ commands.

seta image_downSizeLimit "64"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "1"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "64"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "2"
seta image_downSizeBump "1"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"


etc

if u had a 3200 6800gt with 1gb of good ram is stuck on 60... pentium? rofl... I'm not saying you need a Pentium CPU (I use an AMD CPU as my first post in this thread states) I said something at least as fast as the specs the CPL are using. I personally prefer AMD but I'd sure take a high end Intel...

Yeah I have a very hard time believing some of the people who have posted are getting a constant 60 FPS in situations such as a 10 person FFA Deathmatch, even at 800x600 Low Quality.

P4 2.4b, 1024 PC2700, x800XL and I dont get anything close to 60 FPS unless I'm staring at a corner.

These drivers help a lot. Without them, obviously, turning on OpenAL lags your system to high hell. Installation of these drivers allow for OpenAL to be turned on without an FPS hit and provides more positional audio.

P4 2.4b
1024mb PC2700
x800xL

800x600 Low Quality
CFG Tweaked to look like poop

33.82 fps


If I go back to default config and put it on 1280x with High Quality I get 31.74 fps. Something is awry...

I've heard Start Run "cmd" :: Enter

Once the cmd prompt is up, Alt-Enter, then Alt-Enter again.

Lemme know if that works

Give this config file a try: http://www.inevitabledemise.com/td/q4/ I have pretty similar specs: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (Barton) 2Gb Ram x800 XT PE (AGP) Ive lowered my vid settings as low as they go (800x600) ..used that cfg (looks like shit) and my fps still drops to 10-15 whenever I go into a flagr...

All the servers I've played on have had the pm_bob commands protected...as in unable to be switched off. It may work in single player, but as of now it doesnt seem to be optional in multi.


Edit: And to help the thread, add +disconnect to your cmd line to disable the intro movies.

How does it feel, physics wise? Is it similar to VQ3 or CPMA... or maybe a combination of both? Really curious about the movement
