Hi guys. what do you think about use linux to play only? ET will work fine or will i have some problems? What about teamspeak for linux?
Im getting some huge fps drops (50 @gr for example with my pc :< ). Maybe it works better with linux.. no idea...
grats.

ventrilo can be emulated but only with wine, and you will need a decent soundcard or else the result will be terribl
Because thoose fps drops are anoying me soo much.
and yes its way more smoother for me, but like i said, getting sound work when u play ET on TS is something like "mission impossible" with ALSA
et + ts2 = np in linux, but who play et and communicate on ts2??
et + ventrilo = depends on many things,configures, etc. = works, but bugs and weird use. (

only getting about 30fps and i couldn't disable mouse accel
and the ati thing is fixed 4 me :o)
Maybe lags are caused by some shit services or programs, should be better tweak xp sp2 if u want only play et.
Another question is what causing those lags?
You should clean-up your xp2, disable useless services, reinstall / update / install ( whql ) drivers for your hw, or just try another drivers, not every driver works properly :).
Next ill try some tweaks programs, oc, setup bios, et and use google to find where problem is.
If u think, u r vurnelable from inet, just install good firewall, and take care about your traffic.
I checked your profile, and your pc is really powerful for et :) dont see any problem from hw side, and et works on slower PCs properly with xp sp2.
Lets see. I have a dual core, 1gb ddr2 800mhz ocz. I had an ATI X1900XT 512mb and i only got 260+/- fps max with r_mode 8 and a random decent gfx cfg. Changed to r_mode 4 and i got exactly the same max fps (while using com_maxfps 999). Not soo much lags like nowadays.
2/3 months ago by ati x1900xt 512 decome crazy and i had to buy an Nvidia 9600 gt overclock edition from BFG (512mb). EXACTLY the same fps that i had with x1900xt with same cfg.
I dont think that my ram could be the problem but im not soo sure about my motherboard. Its a low Asrock without any driver/bios update since i bought it :\ I feel like i have "power" to have better performance but something inside my pc tower is blocking my fps, somehow.
I always use a low gfx cfg with gfx drivers for perfomance.
Any idea? Im getting crazy. I even had more stability with my amd 64 3000+ 512ram and fx5200 :\
edit: maybe i need some bios tweaks about ram but my bios is 20000 years old
I dont know how to help u, if u tested drivers, setup bios stuff, and didnt help you, it can be some compatiblity prob. U should try change some bios settings.
The only matter is that vent keeps on crashing in input and the few people having the same problem couldn't solve it.
Anyway, concerning the framerate, you might not have much more fps, but it will be way more stable.
ps: i dont thinnk that its normal 50fps @ gr using r_mode 6 with a uber low gfx cfg and a almost clean windows installation (2 weeks old)
I finally solved both problems using OSS.
