Still causes UT to jitter and hesitate a lot.

I'm concerned about these UT "updates." They seem to impact performance in the wrong direction.

Thanx Pauly !!!



I haven't tried it yet, but I guess it's business as usual, i.e. manually tweaking the config until it runs smoothly again ...

Cheers,

LOL.... Did Epic screw up the D3D implimentation again????????

Maybe it's a good idea to save the D3DDrv.dll file from 4.05 or your current working version and then copy it over the one in 4.20.

Has anyone tried this yet???? It may work

The new update is running fine on my machine. Only had to adjust brightness. I'm using Win2k, SD-11 board, Athlon 650 chip & Matrox G400 SH OEM board.

It seems to run smoothly enough for me- until I get into any sort of combat!! Then it starts to get jerky.

Only long enough to make me die, though.

It's probably been mentioned before but, I've found that if I have the AGP Apature set to 256 (great for OGL) D3D games get jerky and when I drop it to 64, well, smooth as silk.

[Elie]

Interesting point there Marz, I'll give it a shot

YUP!!!

setting the AGP apature settings to 64mb sure worked for me with the new UT patch

It's probly because UT requires so much memory.

[JesterTek]

Can anyone here actually get UT to work in OGL on the G400? On my system it starts OK, but as soon as it has to do anything ingame the textures go to pot. It looks like there are some TurboGL errors that make the G400 mess up textures as the move through the internal bus. After ~20 seconds of worsening textures the whole system goes Blue Screen of Death, or just crashes straight away.
(Tgl v130, UT 420)

The Q3A test demo jerks every 30 or so frames again as if there are timing problems with the TGL driven internal bus.

The OGL implimentation in UT sucks. It is not a driver problem. Use D3D and be happy.

If UT 420 uses too much memory (swapping) you should try UseAGPTextures=False (D3D).

Well, in case anyone cares, 4.20 seems to wreak havoc with my trusty G200. 4.13 worked great for it even though most people reported trouble. As soon as I installed 4.20 my performance got halved. I didn't bother to do any tweaking so I don't know if it would be possible to get it up to snuff or not.

So, for my fellow G200 users out there, just be forewarned, 4.20 may not be for you.
