Post your system specs and timedemo scores here. Preferably two runs, a med-res, high-detail run and a high-res. med-detail run.

Does Quake 4 ship with premade demos? If not it may be best to record one first.

Post by **Fender** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 12:48 pm

I just assumed... If it doesn't...

I'm sure an "official" one will popup soon.

Okay, I just made a quicky timedemo since there no demos included.

There are two types of demos, Demo and NetDemo. I have no clue what the difference is, however here is a quick timedemo I made

http://media.ggl.com/files/ggl-timedemo.zip

Extract that file, and put it in your "C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\q4base\demos" directory. If you do not have that demos directory, create it and put this file there.

Next load up q4 and type "playNetTimeDemo ggl-timedemo.netdemo"

It's slow and will take a bit but when it's done you can check the console for the FPS #'s.

I got 60.

AMD 3200XP w/ 6800GT + 768MB RAM

The other 'Demo' type creates huge demo files and their timedemo actually pops up a box at the end giving you the info. I wonder if this NetDemo stuff is some sort of legacy timedemo that id software put in until people have no problems downloading a 90MB timedemo. Or a really huge Demo.

Same commands to run the timedemo in q4?
(when you have a demo to run)

Post by **D|S-Syn-** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:39 pm

See my long post above, it has the commands a demo to try.

Post by **DooMer** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:48 pm

Yeah, netdemo is the new demo system raven made so demos aren't huge. I guess they left the old doom3 demo system in.

Ah, a netgraph and a player death console with weapon icons. The weapon model here is the BFG i guess.

I had to rename it to "ggl" as Quake 4 complained about the "ggl-timedemo" name. However, I did get results:

Intel P4 2.4
1Gm generic RAM
GeForce 6800 (128Mb, not a GT)
800x600 High Quality

= 29.71fps

Post by **Azer** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 5:20 pm

Got 48.8fps with a:
AMD64 2800+
512MB RAM
Radeon 9800Pro 128MB

I might upgrade it to a Geforce 6800 (and try to unlock the extra pipelines) next week.

What resolution and settings? I'll have to look into that "unlocking the extra pipelines" you mention.
