blAuss Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) hello, so i recently copied my et folder from my gaming pc to some old but not so bad pc. Everything was fine and stable on the gaming one, but on this one now i get huge fps drops... I tried pretty much everything i know and what i have been told to do and still no solution. I tried updating drivers, windows, r_primitives, affinites, pbprior and nothing... one thing is that my gaming pc is intel based and this old one is amd based. pc specs of old one: - AMD phenom 2 x4 955 black edition - 6 Gb ram - Radeon HD 6850 Help appreciated and needed ps:: running on 144Hz peace Edited January 22, 2019 by blAuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenovo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) check, minimizing and, if the trilinear option is active or activated automatically without your knowledge in the control panel of the video card, it happened to me, if the problem is not that, in the list of drivers of the video card, try a another version of the drivers check the command on console /com_hunkmegs 56 is default value but this command is ready only, u need change from shortcut example "C:\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe" + set com_hunkmegs 512; + set com_zonemegs 128; + set com_soundMegs 64 you can also check this command r_primitives 0 r_primitives 1 r_primitives 2 trying out the three options, you will notice an increase in FPS, choose the most performing and stable option sometimes the cause can be another example 1 defective or obsolete driver for the network card 2 problems in your provider 3 spyware or background programs Edited January 23, 2019 by Lenovo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmerzen Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My not very useful 2 cents: 1/ ET has problems with ATI video cards, I don't know why. I've seen problems with even the latest cards. I can't provide a solution since I've ditched my ATI card for a good while now. 2/ In my personal case, using an Intel video card, ETPro lags and FPS are unstable, but jaymod, silent or any other mod has smooth stable FPS for me. So weird. Does your fps drop in any mod other than etpro? Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDragon Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Go in services and disable all 3rd party software related to the video card Just run the driver directly and let Direct X control it that is what is was made for ET and ATI and are enemies Edited January 24, 2019 by DoubleDragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blAuss Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Okay, so i've tried everything u guys posted but nothing really helped... I also made a fresh windows installation and updates. Now when standing still in the map i get a stable 125 but as soon as i start moving around its not stable and i get drops again. any other clue ? thanks for the help so far. i made a video to show you the actual thing: Edited January 25, 2019 by blAuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDragon Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 In your config you have to cut all the r_ati settings with Numbers off, change from 1 to 0 If you have primitives turned down already as you have said you did Ati has no vsync disconnect abilities like Nvidia does I mean thats what I think even if it says it does it don't the only work around is to create a shortcut of the ET.exe and set the r_ properties to fit your feel in a custom cfg and exec it through the shortcut and flush the display with a hard vid_restart all done through the shortcut. It is like being on a Linux when messing with Ati so you have to get it right before connecting to the server. This is a sample property of a shortcut ink file on how to execute a cfg through a shortcut the cfg must be in ETMAIN folder not wolf folder or mod folder this way you don't have to worry with what mod your changing to only just the server ip "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe" +r_customwidth "1680" +r_customheight "1050" +set r_mode "-1" +exec my.cfg +vid_restart +connect serveripaddresshere Can you post the config from the video that your showing from the above clearly it has issues, even my old GTX 750 doesn't drop fps that much do note my network is limited and my time online is short if I can help I will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check if your opengl drivers have changed or not recently. If yes changed - try roll back on your OS for old drivers and see how it goes. Your config is bogus, bogus - Just create new ET profile and use some good config. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
