Linux autoexe

[Hugo Alberto Pelayo]

Hi folks. I use a linux version on ET. here are my specs, I hope someone can help.

 

 

 

Intel® Celeron® M CPU 420 @ 1.60GHz

 

2.5gb Ram

 

Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2

 

1280x800 laptop screen

 

DSL

 

Looking for better performance, graphics not to important other than for targeting and no confusing my team with theirs.

 

I play just under my screens resolution, the one above 800x600

 

I play with default, don't know if I should change to more or less.

 

Indifferent to this one, which ever people recommend.

 

I would say 90 as I get closer to the screen to see better sometimes.

 

I don't use any but if I should recommendations are always welcome.

 

I am very new to all this and am not optomized for anything.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi Hugo,

 

 

Not shure what you want , i guess more FPS???

What linux version you use ? Open GL? etc.

What is the outcome if you run glxgears???

 

It makes a big difference if you have a very "lean" distribution and not suse or redhat or equivalent.

 

I've tried running ET on Linux installed Dell with the same graphics chip and was not impressed with its performance.

 

So not so much answers and even more questions

I don't think an O/S will have a difference on your performance in ET. Mainly just the hardware.

 

And, with

Intel® Celeron® M CPU 420 @ 1.60GHz

you will hardly get decent FPS.

 

Just stick to the default config, take off some of the extra lighting(coronas, dynamiclight, etc) and make smaller adjustments.

I get the same fps on win and linux. The only differences in my config are:

- Thumb mouse button binded as kp_equals on Linux for some bug

 

Linux only config:

seta in_dgamouse "2" // mouse direct input for Linux

seta r_smp 1 // multiprocessor, doesn't work though... too bad it's not really implemented, more a placebo setting

seta in_shiftedkeys "1"

seta in_subframe "0"

 

Win only config:

seta r_smp "0"

seta in_dgamouse "0"

kp_equals becomes mouse3

 

another difference is that you can't use r_ignorehwgamma on Linux, the rest is the same.

 

Here is my graphics config if you need some extra fps (I generally play from Linux):

I have checked it for you at http://www.cfgcheck.cl4ym4n.de/ you can double check, ofc it's not guaranteed to give you more fps, and please make a backup of your etconfig before. With my gfx card setting a higher r_picmip gives no fps gain at all, so I prefer to use 0, you might try to set it to 3.

Thanks for the responses guys. I use ubuntu as my distro, I don't lag or things like that. I use default settings and it runs normal just unsure of their is anything special I should not be using, like details settings and the like. I don't know much about how these things work or whether it would improve my game play experience. I'm generally not very good and often times spend it as spectator following other players around to see what I'm doing different. Thanks for all the advise. Anyone figured out how to connect to Vent servers from Linux? Thanks.
