Hello all, I switched engines from GLPRO3.50 to the latest version of DarkPlaces and I am facing the following issue.
I am aware that depending to your video-card and monitor the refresh rate is locked.
It is locked at 60Hz no matter what I do it will not go up. I did all that display properties foolishness, it does not go up.
That is not the issue here.
Via the showfps command my frames show 60. Ok, that is fine. It goes up and down, especially into the Start map at the episode selection area where there are lots of torches it drops down to 35.
Is this acceptable?
People say they get up to 150 frames.
I increased the frames to 555 via the cl_maxfps command and it has no effect, I continue to get 60 dropping to 30 around heavily animated areas.
Yet when I do timedemo demo1, I get 256 frames.
Is this a computer issue? My computer is fairly powerful and DarkPlaces can not be THAT demanding.
I have a single core AMD64, 1.5GB RAM, ATI 256MB video-card and Windows XP Pro.
I had another issue where my movement was inconsistent, I addressed that by using this command:
gl_finish 1;
I appreciate help and clarification for my issue. I want to get into Quaking, please help!
Thank you.
