kaze 11 May 2011, 17:45
i mean, did you use an etqw config for brink or you just tried to play with default cfg and changed in the options some stuff? cuz i almost have the same pc as you and its blocking at 20 fps... i read somewhere that ati graphigcards had problems with the game but i dunno if this is really the reason of my low fps :s

no i just installed the game(skidrow release), started it, fixed graphics to highest launched and fired the console to configure sensetivity (ctrl+alt+~ afaik) didn't change any picmips or other config stuff, in other words default cfg

hehe, well atleast runs ET and rtcw smoothly:D i remember 4 years ago, in 2007, when ETQW just came out and all the hype around it and its cool gfx and shit, i had a beta beta key, and i had around 25 fps, it made me so rage hard so i asked parents (being 15 y/o meh) to buy me a PC on birthday, and i got it i was like FUCK YEAH 300 FPS ETQW, but when i got key the game died lol

HugTheSub 11 May 2011, 17:33
what about

-
the ironsights do not have any apparent effect
▼
unblind 11 May 2011, 17:34
thats a +
Parent
▼
HugTheSub 11 May 2011, 17:35
you could arge that from an ET point of view but that still leaves it utterly useless.
Parent
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:36
yea you can spray without ironsight and still hit most of it, obviously the recoil but hey
Parent
▼
HugTheSub 11 May 2011, 17:37
i dont see any real difference in spray when using the ironsights...
also it hides half of your screen and you will be affected by the weapon "climbing" when firing a lot more.
cant think of any reason not shoot from the hip.

I've already heard that its utter boring with bots. I am optimistic myself with the game but I don't see a long future of it.
▼
KIPE 11 May 2011, 17:39
seems like we have same kind of comps, did it run smoothly or did you have some lags?
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:43
i wouldn't say similiar :D yeah i played on high (only 2 options there, graphics and detail afaik + resolution) and didn't have any problems whatsoever, tho the HDR bloom (?) or whatever its called that new shit in every game that makes ur screen go blurry for some kind of "effect" is pretty annoying, but almost unnoticeable
Parent
▼
KIPE 11 May 2011, 17:46
8> well yeah you may have better CPU, but we have same graphic card so I was wondering if it works fine with it!

Well I think that is unnoticeable like you said or more like not effecting
Parent
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:52
why would you say i have better CPU?

quad > due no?

and yeah, i didnt notice anything about the lag
Parent
▼
KIPE 11 May 2011, 20:26
Well thought so :D, tbh I don't have any kind of knowledge about comp specs (anymore)

Nice if you didn't lag!:p

XAVER 11 May 2011, 17:43
Quotedidn't have any kind of lag on my shit old PC

specify, how much fps?
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:45
did not test it with fraps or ingame commands, it just felt smooth, and i believe i do know where the game runs 30 fps or 60 and above
Parent

XAVER 11 May 2011, 17:47
weird cause http://www.hwcompare.com/1660/geforce-9600-gt-512mb-vs-geforce-gtx-260-core-216/ mine's supposed to be better, yet it feels pretty lagish and i get around 50-80ish fps
Parent
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:50
well, maybe the difference would be that i run dx9 and u run dx10? i have no idea which one im running because it didn't specify nowhere which one i want, and ur card is far better than mine so probably yeah
Parent
▼
XAVER 11 May 2011, 17:56
any idea how to check/change dx settings?
Parent
▼
duNzy 11 May 2011, 17:57

Parent

XAVER 11 May 2011, 18:04

Pretty much my thoughts. Single player is just bullshit. Game runs smooth (looks like they sorted the engine). Graphics are decent. Are the turrets protecting the spawns? Can't really judge the game yet since I haven't played multiplayer. Definitely going to take a lot of time to get used to, reminds me of the time I first played ET where I didn't know wtf was going on or what to do.
▼
XAVER 11 May 2011, 18:29
ye theres turrets at the spawns to prevent spawnkill
Parent
▼
Ethr 11 May 2011, 18:31
+1 please talk more about the turrets

the splashdamage guy said on CF that they were for protecting spawns only but obviously engi's can make portable ones too

i hope they can be turned off though

duNzy 11 May 2011, 18:37
yesterday night was watching a stream being casted by United States of America greasedscotsman(?) and some other dudes, engis could build turrents and defend shit with them, weird
Parent
▼
Ethr 11 May 2011, 18:39
yeh thats part of the game
i think that needs to be removed pretty quickly even for public play
Parent
▼
XAVER 11 May 2011, 18:43
those engi turrets arent actually any good
they take about 3seconds to 'lock' on you and even then you can dodge easily. also as soon as you're out of their view they take 3sec again to lock on

and you can shoot them down with about 1mag


1turret alone doesnt actually do anything but delay you for some time
Parent
▼
Ethr 11 May 2011, 18:51
just remove them anyway if they add nothing
Parent
▼
XAVER 11 May 2011, 19:04
well they DO delay, and from what i've seen that might be a kinda good thing on most of the current maps

might as well be useless shit and just be annoying, guess we'll see
