Qrack 1.60 sluggish movement

[Mach10]

I need your help ... as soon as I start Qrack 1.60 ... everything becomes slow.

I use ESC to get to the menu ... hit ... single player ... slow response.

When I appear in the first area to begin moving ... my mouse movement is sluggish ... [I move my mouse to the right to head over to the right side and the barrel either moves only a little bit or not at all]

If I go into the control section and use the up / down arrows on my keyboard ... same thing happens I hit the down arrow and no movement happens ... a moment later ... I've overshot what I wanted to make adjustments on.

I've used the suggestions in the Qrake setup guide ... --- recommended you use: "glQrack.exe -noforcemparms -conwidth 640 -conheight 480 -width 640 -height 480 -zone 1024 -bpp 32 -mem 32", as seen here: ---

I've done the ... -mem 32

and the command ... cl_maxfps .... 60 or 72 .... ????

Well I could try it ... but where is the info on it ??

I use regular Quake with D3D ... and everything is great ... no problems

Anybody know what's up with this ??

hmm. strange

Is your computer used by alot of different people

Would'nt allow you to change it? Is your computer used by alot of different people (household machine) and if so, are you a limited user?

Nope ... nobody but me ... my wife sometimes when her computer is acting weird ... not very often ... she doesn't do all the things I do ... with a computer ... she checks her email ... goes over to Amazon and looks for books to read ... etc ... etc.

sluggish movement ... addon comment

While trying to get Qrake to work ... I couldn't change the commands in the shortcut ... WinXP ... wouldn't let me.

I remember seeing a fix for that ... and so I did a search ... this is what I found ... website >>> http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker

It has many other flavors:

Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

go the website >>> http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker

works very well ... and allows me to change the name of folders ... that I used to not be able to change without rebooting and it lets me addon ... extra settings in the Qrake shortcut.

And also ... Qrake 1.60 is working great now ... thank you guys for the help you offered me

smooth fonts was already off ... My system choice is set for best performance

Well things have improved ... I really hate it when WIN XP wont let you make changes in a folder when I've played with it / or messed around in it.

I couldn't add the extra commands in the shortcut like ... -mem32 or other stuff. I even rebooted and still couldn't ... so I went to another drive and created another Qrake folder and then I could add the extra info into the Qrake 1.60 shortcut.

I added the line

glQrack.exe -noforcemparms -conwidth 640 -conheight 480 -width 640 -height 480 -zone 1024 -bpp 32 -mem 32

And ... I tried playing it again ... this is wierd ... no sluggish movement ... this time ... Well I just now played some Qrake 1.60 ... and no problems ... YEA !!

Okay here is the config settings ... even though it is now behaving ... WIERD !!

Post your cfg??

check for spyware?

My system is less than yours and runs just fine.
But i dont run a ton of taskbar apps while i Quake

[Baker]

I'd like to help, but I'm not super knowledgeable about Qrack, except to the extent it the settings are the same as JoeQuake 0.14

Yellow or Rook will eventually see this post. This sluggishness thing seems to come up quite a bit with Qrack (I think I've seen the question 5 or 6 times). If there is a standard answer for this, Yellow should put it on the Qrack page.

(I looked in some of the threads and don't see a clear answer. -mem 32 is important, for sure.)

Your equipment video card look excellent.

sluggish movement

AMD +3500 64bit CPU ... running at 2.2 GHZ

2 gigs of ram

several harddrives

Logitech Keyboard ... and ..... mouse [Logitech CLICK! Optical Mouse]

ATI Radeon 9800 AIW video card

All other games work fine ... DOOM 3 ... Half Life 2 ... Quake 4

[IEEE 802.11]

[Windows XP] Here's something to look into; right click My Computer, choose Properties, select the Advanced tab, click the Settings button for Performance, select Custom and uncheck Smooth Edges of screen fonts.

I had this issue with Tribes 2, turning off the smooth font edges sped up performance greatly because it was smoothing the fonts in the game.

It could be something else tho.
