ET running horrid and crashing when connecting to FA HARDCORE

[dj3hac]

ultralow fps with ati cards and r_primitives not set to 2 is a known problem with recent drivers, maybe it's that

 

yes i did try that. No luck

A followup for Sunlight's suggestion, did you use /seta r_primitives 2 (This should do set all)

Have you tried to disable crossfire while playing ET?

Or possibly set up ET to only use 1 video card?

 

Do you have the latest drivers from Radeon for your specific dual card setup? (Not using generic web/windows video drivers)

 

Yes my drivers are current (From AMD not manufacturer), and the results are the same with crossfire disabled.

I don't know if ET is build like that, but it could include all objects given when looking in any specific direction; and your view is simply obstructed by objects. I know this for a game called Neverwinter, where objects would load distally towards the character. If this is the case your PC (despite its epic specs, omfg...) seems to handle the amount of objects poorly; watching towards moving objects requires more than still objects, so players will limit your fps more easily. /cl_maxpackets 100?

 

It's usually a compatibility issue with ET. I remember trying to run an old game called Red Alert II when I first got windows 7. You'd expect it to be trippy fast, but the contrary was true

 

 

Have you tried the regular ET client instead of Legacy? Sometimes a solution may be simpler to find by attempting the solutions at hand. The treatment is the diagnostic tool!
