Quake window/lag in win 7

[talisa]

very much true what roy batty said. i too have a copy of darkplaces with no mods or addons or replacement models or textures at all for nostalgia, and when i run that one i get insane high fps too myself all the time

If I run Dark Places on my current rig with no mods at all installed, just Quake, my music pack, and Seven's audio pack, I get about 1000FPS with res set to 1920x1200. So it's pretty much all the bling you can add that makes it heavy.

DarkPlaces requires GLSL support. If a video card doesn't have GLSL support, GLSL support will be software-emulated.

That's means no hardware acceleration. And very low frame rates.

About 70% of PCs ship with a Intel Integrated Media, which until the last 2-3 years, did not have hardware GLSL support.

Use DirectQ mhquake

It should be a criminal offense for anyone to recommend anything except DirectQ to a windows user with issues. Seriously.

Darkplaces doesn't work right on some computers, FitzQuake.exe acts all weird on dual core or quad core computers due to not having a clock fix. Qrack is a great client, but is doesn't behave the same, requires extra folders and it is unfair to put that burden on someone in a world of hurt. I'm just saying ...

DirectQ is conservative, reliable and any non-screwed up Windows computer running Vista or higher --- the last 10 years --- it runs great.

/One opinion.

Darkplaces is like asking for mustard and recieving Grey Poupon. It's on its own level in terms of a Quake Client...


You can try ..

create a shortcut to darkplaces.exe , then right click on the shorcut and properties.

in the target field, add ;

D:\Games\Quake\darkplaces.exe -height 1024 -width 1280 <-thats what mine would look like.his could be..

C:\Quake\darkplaces.exe -height ..... etc, change the height and width values to match his desktop resolution....

then run the shortcut, it should force the game to fullscreen.
