Kinda strange that my fps remains 60 even when lowering th...

Can someone tell me the name of the demo that you run to get your average fps? And its timedemo (demoname) to run the demo in Q4 right?

oops I missed that KO at the end of your message, nm

I have the AA turned to off in Q4 but I'm not sure if Q4 uses AF when in high quality mode (I have both AA and AF both set to application controlled under the nvidia control panel). So I tried turning the AF to off under the nvidia control panel and played at 800x600 high quality, but I still get la...

Getting low fps on a high end machine

Hey all, I don't know what the problem is here. I have a high end machine yet Q4's fps still fall into the 30s and 20s. Even playing on recommended settings (high quality, 800x600) the game still lags. My average fps isn't always in the 30s and 20s, but at certain points (when theres alot of action ...

Funny, I never have had a problem with tons of bugs in game or the bugs you guys are mentioning. The only thing thats keeping me from playing on some servers is that auto-downloading is disabled. THATS the only issue I have with the game. Otherwise it runs flawlessly (but I understand there must be ...

I must be the only whos not getting any bugs in Quake 4.

The only thing that sucks is that autodownloading is disabled, but other than that it runs flawlessly for me.

Funny, I havn't had any issues with Quake 4. No lag (ping or performance wise) but I have seen alot of people get "timed out" and disconnected, although it never happens to me. Of course Quake 4 runs fine for me becouse I have an elite machine (Geforce 7800GTX 256mb, Athlon FX-55 (2.6ghz) ...

I used to use ASE but they havn't been able to support Quake 4 since the day it came out (which is like 3 months) and theres still no support for it. But GSA is not perfect either, DOD: Source and the Half-life 2 third party mods are still not supported, but the word is that their working on it and ...

Try going here http://www.gamespy.com/stats and see for yourself. http://www.csports.net also lists the number of online players, but Quake 4 isn't listed (probaly becouse ASE still doesn't support it). But thats how many players showed last I checked, at 11:40 pm. And also I don't think GSA is crap...

you know, I think Id software isn't what they used to be. I think after Quake 2, things started to go downhill from there. They used to be the best in the gaming business, but once some serious competition came (Valve, Epic, e.t.c.) they lost their position as being the best in the business. However...

Why is noone playing Q4 online?

I just took a peak at the Quake 4 stats (according to Gamespy) and the total number of players online are 184! yikes. This might be since its so late here (11:40 pm PST) but still thats a very low number for the new quake. My guess is that noone wants to upgrade for a better computer that can run Qu...

What will be Id's next game?

The only thing I've heard so far is that it will not be a sequal to either Quake or Doom, but something totally new (but still, of course, a FPS) and its been over a year since Doom 3 was released and still no word on it. So what are you guys thoughts on what it could be? Is there any new informatio...
