Fps cap?

That wouldn't be that much of a problem then. For me it fluctuates like crazy.... And I get good FPS in everything else.... It's just Legacy and EDGE that lag so bad.

well, does it do that to you in netplay? singleplayer? Its true that it fluctuates in multiplayer if the ping spikes, but single player shouldnt do that, ecpically if your able to get good frames in just about everything else...

I don't use Legacy, but could it be the way you have things set up? Like a cvar or something for the FPS? Is there such a thing in Legacy?

Umm no it's not about any of that stuff. And it's not just me either. Believe me I'm no port n00b. It's just Legacy.

And no it's not in multiplayer. The lag in MP would probably be completely intolerable so I haven'teven tried that. I was only talking about SinglePlayer....

Hmm... well man, i don't know, on either my 300mhz or 2.4 ghz computers, legacy runs just fine, with no issues whatsoever, and multiplayer lag is no issue unless the ping rises above 120. so there may be something wrong with your end of it all, try deleting then redownloading legacy, because ive got no issues with it in terms of extreme lag.

Oh I've done all of that. Trust me I'm way beyond any of that stuff - I've already tried 6 different kinds of Voodoo to make Legacy work. Nothing does the trick. And it's not so much "extreme lag" as it is "fluctuation in the frame-rate" which really gets on my nerves. One instant it's 32FPS and the next it's 12, then 25, then 6, then 28, then 19, then 30, then 2, then 24, etc.....

Damn, something sounds really wrong with your computer if that's the case.

you're running in 1024. don't. 800 is the max.

Pathetic. But it doesn't surprise me the least that Legacy exhibits such problems. So it looks like I won't be playing Nimrod for some time now until they get their act together...

you're kidding, right?
just because you can't play it in a certain resolution?

not everything can be perfect. DEAL WITH IT

Wow. I can summarize my response to the last 4 posts in: What The Fuck.

Does anyone understand anything I say at all? No really I'd like to know.

LK873: No, just because a buggy port doesn't run perfect on my PC doesn't make my PC messed-up. Of course, incidentally, in this case you ARE tight, because my Windows 98 SE installation seriously needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth (er, my HD). But I can run almost any other port just fine. ZDooM and Vavoom are probably the 2 smoothest on my PC....

CSonicGo: I didn't say I'm running at 1024. I've tried every resolution. Obviously, logic told me to switch to a lower resolution (at least to try it out) and see if performance becomes any better. I'm talkin' anything from the 320's to the 640's to 800 to 1024....

Graf Zahl: Pathetic? How so?
