ET jagged problems

by Novi • 7 Mar 2008, 20:25 • Journals
I have a fairly brand new PC. I've been playing ETQW for a while and thought I'd played a fun 3v3 for old times sake on ET.
For some reason I was getting really jagged gameplay.
It was like it was skipping frames or something.
I have no idea why as it should work fine :S

Any help is appreciated! Sorry about my crappy description but I have no idea how to solve this.

Yeah it set it to 1 core before playing and it was jaggy.
▼
Novi 7 Mar 2008, 20:46
Hmm this is odd. When I set it to run with both cores it runs fine. But when I set it to one it goes all jagged... ususally the other way around... very strange :o

if you are running xp i heard they are problems with quad core, so i guess same goes to duo
Parent

Novi 7 Mar 2008, 23:12

you say 8800... so i guess you have the right drivers installed...

Right Click @ desktop -> nVIDIA control panel -> Advanced(if you havnt already done so) -> Manage 3D settings -> Threaded optimization -> Off
▼
Novi 7 Mar 2008, 21:08
Yes I have the right drivers ;D
I've tried what you said and I'll see if it works
Parent

Novi 7 Mar 2008, 21:20
thank you it worked!!!
Parent

Novi 7 Mar 2008, 21:09
Actually no it didn't work. It is much better with 2 cores but still a little jaggy

I find old graphics card drivers work best with et. especially the newest nVidia drivers make my et go all jumpy. Try installing drivers from ~1year ago

sNoOp 7 Mar 2008, 21:11
ur et is just as fucked up as mine
▼
h1tmAn 7 Mar 2008, 21:13
If your having the same problem, with nvidia card
Parent

sNoOp 7 Mar 2008, 21:17
i dont think it has anything to do with nvidia, the ram usage just goes up to 100% and then ofc its fucked

h1tmAn 7 Mar 2008, 21:21
O well, just a suggestion but hey no harm in trying :)
Parent
