Wrong, read again. They were getting 700+ FPS on the menu screen, not in game. And it is possible.
|
I was talking about the menu screen. I'd sure love to see proof, not that having a frame rate over 50 matters.

I personally do not get 700 FPS on the menu screen, but I have seen as high as 550 on my friends computer. As for proof, you will have to ask the people who stated they got the 700+ FPS or so.

Does anyone know how to provide feedback or submit technical problems to the author of this tool? Have looked at the original site and does not appear to be a easily accessible way of posting/informing him/her/them - mind you i may be being stoopit.
However, the collective genius's here may well be able to help. I have:
AMD 3500+
2 Gb Ram
NVidia GeForce 6200 turbocache 256 mb card (cheap i know, but came with system).
Tried the tool but have the following problem. When i start renegade through the Renguard icon, the game "attempts" to load and i get the renegade sound but a blank (black screen). The EA Games splash is not visible,; i click esc to get through the video etc until i arrive at the options screen. Here is the problem. There is all the relevant imagery but no writing and no visible mouse pointer  which means it is impossible to progress the load.
In reaching that point i had updated the Gphx card drivers from the nvidida site. I had downloaded the correct Direct X and installed it. I even went as far as updating my monitor (LG CRT) drivers. I restarted PC. I un installed Ren (completely) including several registry flushes to ensure complete eradication of Westwood components etc. Did a complete and fresh install of renegade and checked it worked satisfactorily. I tried all the variables in the WWConfig2.exe - all gave the same result. I removed tech two files and ran renegade and it worked perfectly, but with my standard 75 FPS.
I ran the prog again in windowed mode and got the game to work but only at 30-40 FPS (i set up a single player server for myself). I turned windowed mode off and got same problem - invisible mouse and no writing.
So....................... any constructive advice as i would like to try this and see if it gives an improved game experience.

Well actually, 700+ fps is at the screen directly before the map loading screen (joining game dialog box). At the menus, i get 100+ and in the game it drops to 50-70 fps.
And one question, how am I going to reinstall ATI's drivers if OmegaDriver screws up my system. (I haven't installed it yet.)

If you need to reinstall the ATI drivers simply download the latest one from the ATI site. Then uninstall Radeon Omega Driver form your add/remove programs list and run the executable to install the ATI one.
I doubt you will have any problems with it, I use the Omega drivers and I find that they are much more reliable than the ATI ones. The ATI Tray Tools also have some nice features that I use.

oh, and another thing, renegade now crashes when you alt-tab >.< I presume it's not supposed to do this?
|
It's a problem with ATi cards, relates to either AA or AF, try turning them off.
|
My GF6600GT does this with AA and AF off dude...it's a bug

I agree to this, their great drivers. Soemtimes i get mine up to 100fps ingame but thats with hardilly any movement, and i have PCI which is the worst graphical interface ever! And two monitors with action on both of them.

if you have xfire go to options and disable in-game support for renegade, because renguard bumps renegade to game2.exe, xfire tries to interface with renguard. For some reason it only causes crashes with this patch on... wierd

Or just point XFire at game2.exe (and tell it to use the right renderer or else you'll still get a crash).

I don't use Xfire much anymore, but if I remember right it doesn't update that often. Or have they been doing updates more often now?
