Hey all, DeathByRifleGrenade is having problems with his newer home PC which is why he's never around later in the day anymore. He said he'd be on way more at home if ET was playable. I told him I'd ask around, and I also told him to check this forum Anyway, the problem is unplayable low FPS. All I know is it;s Win10, and he's tried Run As Admin with no success. I remember some ppl having similar problems. Any ideas? Torb's FPS fix qawet.proboards.com/post/121735

Although I think a gunked up CPU fan was the ultimate cause of my FPS problems I think a new PC would be safe from this , here's some other stuff I first messed with in trying to improve FPS: ^^ I think for ATI GPUs r_primitives is supposed to be 2, for NVIDIA I don't think it makes a difference. (I don't really know anything but that's what I saw) - Added an exception to the ET exe in the windows anti-virus thing settings - Ran ET in compatibility mode for Windows XP - Depending on ATI / NVIDIA you can google various things have found that have fixed FPS issues (for NVIDIA there were some specific settings to change in the NVIDIA control panel for the W:ET exe , for ATI I think their might have been some setting you can use for older games or something) - Made sure I was using the best config settings, there's lots of config stuff on google, I can't really recall it all to write out here but there's lots of stuff on max fps , max packets, etc. Not sure this would fix an unplayabe-ly low FPS though but maybe something to consider once things are working better.

That ET Legacy one doesn't work with punkbuster servers so maybe they don't show up in the list even?
On Win10 if you haven't tried, you might need to right click it and in the compatibility tab run it in XP Mode.

Diz had sent this to me a while back and it improved my experience dramatically
// Net
seta cl_timenudge "0" // Supposed to be for adjusting prediction for your ping. ##CB## EQ 0
seta cl_maxpackets "100" // Cap for data packet transmissions (upstream). Leave at same value as com_maxfps. ##CB## IN 40 100
seta cl_packetdup "1" // Duplicates your packets "n" amount of time
seta snaps "40" // "Snapshots" for server to send you. ##CB## EQ 20
seta rate "25000" // Cap on the connection bandwidth to use, 1000=~1KB/s. ##CB## IN 15000 25000
// FPS
seta com_maxfps "71" // Sets cap on the frames per second. 125, 76 and 43 common 'tweak' values. 71 = less recoil. ##CB## IN 40 125
seta com_hunkMegs "64" // Amount of memory (MB) assign to the hunk.
seta com_zoneMegs "24" // Amount of RAM to allocate to... Zone? Map & texture loading?

71 fps recoil trick only works with single pistol for duals or smg feels awful.

I just bought a new pc and got the same problem. My old pc with an on board video card is way better than the new pc. I have very low fps I can't even play.
This is the new pc

Graphics & Video: 4GB AMD Radeon RX 560 Graphics
