FPS <<<<

by elemenT • 3 Sep 2007, 21:04 • Forums › Enemy Territory
Hi,

I recently bought a new laptop & installed ET etc.

This laptop is more powerfull than the one I had before but I have less fps.

Way less, as I had 125 constantly on my old lap.

Now I only have 15-30..

No spyware etc
could it be because of vista?

Didn't say it was powerful, but it's at least more powerfull than the one I had before.

I downloaded the fifa 08 demo yesterday, and it runs smoother than ET..

When I start ET, everything runs smooth till I connect. (I mean, the intro vid etc)

My point being, if my laptop isn't powerful enough, the introvid would struggle and my mouse wouldn't go so smooth.
I had a shitty pc before and if it's not powerful enough, the introvid, menu's etc wouldn't run like they do now.

SO I think it's not the laptop, rather a setting or smth?

Don't have enough money for a pc atm.

I'm surely gonna buy one again in the future - just not now.

only use 1 cpu and not 2 (taskmanager -> rightclock on ET -> showing permissions (?:o) -> CPU 0 (yes) CPU 1 (no)

Hope u understood it ;D

last menu = Go to proces here..
Sure it has to be done in taskmanager?

If you have too much time, could you make a screen of it? :)

Would be the easiest way..

install gfx drivers with openGL support.
Under Vista ET runs almost as smooth than under XP. And my notebook is 2 years old with Pentium M 1,86 and Mobility Radeon X700.

elemenT 4 Sep 2007, 23:21
I installed the newest drivers wich do support OpenGL =)

The FIFA 08 demo I downloaded yesterday plays more smoothly than ET.
Everything goes smoothly la times crossword when I start ET till I connect. (I refer to the intro video, etc.)

I agree 100% that Windows 10 is slow and intrusive. To think that my laptop just got formatted recently and the programs installed are as many as 5 totally needed by me programs that don't run together at the same time slope unblocked. These particular unnecessary processes has to be disabled by default and should only run when called to!
