Hey guys,
Recently I completely restarted my qw directory and decided to redo my cfg, as I noticed i just couldnt get steady FPS. My system specs are 2GIG ram, AMD Athlon 3000+, ATI Radeon 9800XT 256MB.
Since redoing the config, I've noticed by changing the video res up ive managed to get muuuuuch smoother running of quake, but what i've noticed is there is a real "sticky" feel to it. It's asif im bumping into walls everywhere and not as 'skatey' i guess as i run around the map. It feels much tighter. I dont know whether its just the smoothness.
Anyway I'm also having another issue where sounds occasionally cut out and it also seems occasionally my gfx just poo's itself for about 2-4 seconds rarely but annoying in game. WHat happens is, it sorta of stutters and my mouse movement becomes about 1/10th the sensitivity then it picks itself up again and is back to normal.
I will paste my cfg here and if anyone can shed any light that would be apprecaited.
P.S. i STILL cant get solid FPS, no matter what it's on. It's always fluctuating around the figure i set as max but never sits steady.
Cheers
Dracs
P.S. any other improvements/suggestions people can offer would be appreciated.
