At wits end with DC cuz of horrible fps. - Page 3

yeah well i used to have problems with bf1942 then i just turned hardware accleration on and put the channels at 64 and it runs smooth now.

... oOo: i dont see how turning the sound up would make it run smoother, because logic would tell you if im getting bad fps, then turning hardware accel on and boosting the channels would constitute even more cpu power usage. maybe you were joking ....anyways sw-14 i tried putting the sound on the lowest possible settings with the lowest amount of channels...and i hopped back into the server i had been playing on all night with the lag. I must say, i was able to drive and fly with minimal lag, a definate improvement. however, since i turned the sound down so low i cant hear any of the sound effects except for firing weapons oOo: i cant hear engine sounds, or helicopter sounds etc. this really detracts from the coolness of this game, as sound is an integral part of it. anyways i guess ill just have to live with this shitty sound in order to play without humoungus lag. kind of a give and take cry:

Actually, Office Depot might be right. Try turning on hardware acceleration and sound to either 22 or 44 khz and see if it runs smooth.

oOo: oOo: oOo: omg office depot you are right! im sorry i dissed you i thought you were f'n with me lol biggrin: I FINALLY GOT IT YEAHHHHHHHHHHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW awesome! i put my sound up to 44khz with hardware accell on and sound quality to 100% and to my amazement NO LAG! i am really confused on why turning the sound up to max would reduce lag...but anyway i dont care cuz it works finally w0000000tttttttttttttt evil: evil: happy: happy:

[quote="|ANIMAL| 1SG Jaybird":8ddc4]I thought i would make this new thread about dc, because frankly, im losing my mind. Whenever i i hit certain places in maps, my fps drops below 10, and in some cases it completely freezes...and by the time it comes back, im already dead. For example(s): when i play the midway map for dc...whenever i spawn on the iraqi carrier and attempt to fly a mig or the hind-my frames per second come to a screeching halt. I have tried everything graphically and soundwise...ive even turned it all the way down and ran my rez at 800x600. My specs are quite formidable and should be able to handle this with no problems.

P4 1.5

asylum gf4 ti 4600 128mb ddr
windows xp prof w/ sp 1

i really enjoy the dc mod, but at this point, its unplayable and i cant have fun anymore with it because of this. Yes, i have all the current drivers for my soundcard and vid card. i just dont understand this. plz help! SW-14 have you heard of this problem? cry:

all of my other games run fine. (vietcong gets a little hairy sometimes...but its ok) i would like to get this issue resolved cuz i love dc mwah:[/quote:8ddc4]

dude thats like sounds like a kick ass system ... wtf?

yeah all i needed was to change the sound options oOo: anyways, its a pretty decent machine, but its not Hillary Duff worthy eh swill? ed: eek: biggrin:

Why did you ever doubt me? happy:

JBird · 05-02-2003, 10:52 PM

oOo: cuz i thought you were kidding, plus it really doesnt make sense. turn up your sound options would = more cpu usage, i dunno, the point is it works now and thats all i care about biggrin:
