Quake3World

I love Quake 4... the only disapointment is the performance of the multiplayer. I just got Call of Duty 2 and with dx9 settings on with everything at max except shadows (same setting as i use in quake4)... the multiplayer in call of duty 2 doesn't drop below 45 fps. The maps are alot more impressive and feature more effects. Please Raven/id... optimize the mp, the performance is terrible. I need my quake4 multiplayer without dropping below 20 fps. :icon23:

Obviously your computer sucks and you have no idea what you're talking about comparing Call of Duty 2 to Quake 4 (two completely different engines)

turn off itemshadows, it helps

also get a better cpu - mp is very cpuheavy

Eraser... I suggest you compare the two. COD 2 is drying many more polygons/effects/dynamic lights etc. No way the Quake 4 performance should be that bad.

CoD 2 = GPU intensive
Q4 = CPU intensive

You may be right... but just compare the two.

The geometry in the Quake 4 mp levels is almost laughable... the performance is unacceptable. The sp game runs fine... no way the mp game should chug so bad. I am not the only one that thinks this.

also, q4 is opengl where cod is directx

Its fine, the maps are designed for fun rather than competitive play and everything else including performance is ~satisfactory.

Then again, satisfactory for Quake4 is not acceptable

Its going to turn out great though, some cool maps being made and re-made. A few patches and comeptitive mod upates and it will own.
