I downloaded Moondrunk's replacement textures for original id models, and i have a problem with them. When i switch weapon there's BIG framerate drop (from 77 to 22-30 fps, sometimes even to 2!), but after about one second everything is back to normal.
I like to play with r_drawviewmodel 1, so this is very irritating bug. That's even more strange because when i use hi-poly models (from q3a, Plague's pak, Ruohis models) everything is fine! But when i put them to my qw i can't get stable 77 fps in 800x600 (all i have is old pc with GeForce2MX 64mb and 256 RAM...) so i try to use textures from Moondrunk site, but that's even worse...
Any idea how to fix this problem? (please don't write something like: buy new pc )

Hi,

Try to scale them down i.e. make them smaller in size, I think that should do it :|
Will not look as good but you'll probably get less fps drops.

The v_weapon replacements was even bigger at first and I got these huge fps drops when changing weapon just as you experiance now.

If you can't do it yourself let me know and I'll try to help you out.
