  • Epic shafts G400 users on 225f patchI guess for now :) hehe

    Well I am kinda impressed with the new 225F unreal patch, they created a brand new opengl driver and it really looks and plays awesome on my Viper 550 agp 16 meg I have played it without dead slowness and jerkyness but now it flows effortlessly at 1024x768 16bit/K6-2 450 128 megs sdram(my g400 32 meg should be in tommorow). I noticed however that in the text file for it it mentions that the opengl driver was optimized for the TNT only and that we should not expect any good performance on other cards till next patch. Well I for one think that is flat out wrong. Gee jimmie the patch works well with one card out of a few hundred chipsets, lets put it up for download" hehe well guess us g400 users are out of luck for another month Here is the text from the text file, tell me what you think Jediphoenix
    OpenGL Beta Driver

    New, rewritten OpenGL driver.
    Works quite well on the Riva TNT. Important: you need the latest TNT Detonator drivers from NVidia's web site for this to work.
    Other cards are in the early testing phase now. Don't expect a lot. We can't provide support for getting Unreal OpenGL running on other cards or answer questions about them at this time.

    Umm, dude, the 225f patch is 6 months old and Epic gave up on OpenGL in favour of Direct3d. If you aren't running D3D, it's too slow. Epic is releasing ONE final patch for Unreal, but it's only a Direct3d patch. D3D is great in 225f now, but it will improve some with the last patch, which should be out *fairly* soon now that U.T. is done. Here's hoping.
