i usually run mine in windowed mode and at the start of the game i press the "F8" key and c, then click enter.
I also run a program called Game booster. It closes any unnecessary background processes,
Gives only couple extra FPS but every bit counts =D

ok, the new westwood host gives me a message that my password is no good even though i played on it yesterday, and i can't access my account, so i downloaded renguard and when i try to play on their servers i get and endless loop of,"download renegade ptach, restrting", so i guess i will wait til TT comes out with their patch or hope someone write a install guide for windows 7 users, ty

How To:

Install Renegade on Windows 7:

1) Insert the disk in the CD/DVD drive

2) Press Install during the setup

3) Follow the steps during the setup/installation

4) Use the config program (WWConfig.exe) in your Westwood/Renegade folder

5) Start Renegade, in the main menu pick Multiplayer Online, Westwood Online, Advanced Listing, enter a random name and a password (8 letter or numbers i think). Download the patch if needed.

6) Pick a server, and there you go

Tested TWICE on Win7 x64

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

This doesn't meet the minimum standards of spam.

Your FPS is locked at 60 because vsync is enabled. If vsync doesn't cause any noticeable problems you could just leave it, otherwise you should be able to disable it in the video options
