q2 prob any help pls

[old.CoaldusT]

hi all.

i wonder if any of you would be able to help me.

before i reformated when i run timerefresh in quake2 i would get 150+
fps in main arena q2dm1 and 400+ in railgun room "p3-500-ge-force-256".

now ive got drivers and stuff back the way it was "directX7a & det 2
driver for card".

do the timerefresh now in same res "1024x768" i get 59 fps no matter
where i am !. so i dropped to 640x480 done it again and got 59 fps !
wierd or what. it seems like its capped for some reason. i tried the
cl_maxfps command just in case but that makes no diff.

so if ya have had same prob or know what it could be pls help.

Your problem is the Vsync. In your display control panel thing, and in Q2's in game Video menu, disable the Vsync : what that does is synchronises the games fps with the monitors refresh rate of 60hz.. so you wont get above 60, hence the 59fps limit.

Hope that helps

Yup. Vsync. Personnaly I've left it switched on because I have the 'set cl_maxfps 60' command in my q2 console anyway to reduce lag :0 (And even if you didnt most servers are capped at 80fps anyway)
