G200 and Unreal

[Kristian]

quickie question...

Is UT playable with the MGA 200? I tried but got no wall/ground textures. To little onboard memory?

should be working, but ... sloooooow ...

Dunno what went wrong on your system, post some details and we'll see

[Hunsow]

All I can remember is that with a PIII-500 and using a resolution of 640x480@16bit it was playable, even with the details to the max.

I saw this problem on my G200.
Going back to older (5.41) fixed it.

I use the following system:
---------------------------------------
ASUS P2B rev. 1.10 motherboard
128 MB 100Mhz SD-RAM
Celeron 400 MHz @ 400 MHz CPU
Matrox Millennium G200 AGP 8 MB
Soundblaster Live! with digital I/O
Quantum Fireball EX 6 GB UDMA/33 HDD [C:, D:]
Seagate Barracuda 20 GB UDMA/66 HDD [E:, F:, G:]
HP8100i CD-RW 24x/4x/2x [X:]
3.5" FDD [A:]
5.25" FDD [B:]
Momenta 56K fax/voice/modem
-----------------------------------

I can play Unreal in 640 * 480 16 bit colours without much problems.

Like Kruzin said, use PD 5.41. There is a known D3D problem with the G200 and anything PD 5.5x and beyond.

As to whether or not it's playable, well, thats a matter of opinion. I used my G200 at 800x600 16bit color, low detail players, medium world detail, and got between 20 and 30 fps most of the time(on an Athlon 650).

Hi HedsSpaz
Your FPS seems to be low.On my P3-450,64 MB RAM,my G200 (8 MB SDRAM)gives an average of around 40 FPS,at 800x600 16bit medium detail for players and same for world

I'm using a G200 and it runs UT fine as long as you stay at 640x480 16bit. Use the Powerdesk 6 drivers, they work the best for me. You'll need to copy the inf file from an older driver.

I have to agree with Kruzin... I used this machine at the MURC Lan Party II and it ran UT fine albiet 640x480. I did my share of fragging
