A couple of quick questions

[FraS]

I like this game alot! Couple of little things though.

1. Loading time. I thought UT took ages but it can be literally 2-3 mins before I'm actually in game. Doesn't matter if I go from all seeing eye or from the in game browser. Is this normal? the loading wake bit takes about 1-2 mins, then i get in game - get to the screen that explains the game type - hit ok then the screen goes black and have to wait for another minute before the spawn selector comes up. Also exiting the game can take quite some time. once I'm in game it runs fine. Suppose I should be thankful :)

2. Mouse wheel. I have a Logitech 4 button with mousewheel, when I use it for weapon select it just goes mad cycling through the weapons like ive held a button down. Anyone else get this? Know how to fix it?

I have an xp1700, 256mb ram and an ATI 8500
TIA

Although it probably takes me a couple of mins to get in game as the loading of the map does take ages I don't get the black screen after you get the game description. I always then go straight onto the team select with no delay.

On exiting I seem to be ok as well, I haven't tried it but have you tried the console quit game command? The command it Game.disconnect which you type into the console (` button brings it down)

on your mouse problem I am afraid I don't have a clue.

I sometimes have the problem that when i'm scrolling through the weapons it keeps changing which 'direction' it goes through them. i.e. scroll down it goes one way, keep scrolling and it goes another. Mental. Tried getting drivers for your mouse, etc?

As for the loading time, it could be that you need more ram. If you're running win2k/xp then it might be worth investing in another 256mb (should set you back about fifty quid I think)

Whoops forgot to mention my specs for comparison.

Running XP pro with 512Mb of Ram a geforce 3 (64Mb) card and XP1800+ proc, ADSL connection.

So it may be ram as our specs a pretty simular. What frame rate do you get out of intrest?

I get around 70 FPS in 800x600 32bit

The command is console.showfps 1 to enable
console.showfps 0 to disable.

I was getting all sorts of mad stuff happening with the demo - flickering polys, freezing randomly, and never getting to the spawn screen on loading.

I boosted my ram from 512Megs up to a 1gig and binned my GEForce2 for a GEForce 4 ti and I'm not getting any of the previous problems (well apart from having to suffer a 56k modem, but I can live with that for the moment...)

I suspect though it had more to do with my GFX card than the ram.

thx for the help. After reading a bit I found out that the black screen I get before the spawn screen is due to RefreshLock. It cuts to 60hz in game then the screen blacks out while it applies a different refresh setting or something, I'd rather wait a minute and get a decent picture :)
When I'm online - appart from the first 10-15 seconds where it's all jerky my fps ranges from about 45fps (riding a tank from chase view with ppl around etc) to 90fps (walking around by myself). I run at 800x600x16 with all detail set to max. I havn't really thought about graphics much, it looks nice and doesn't visibly lose in frames so I'm happy.
I've tried everything with my mouse now, don't think I'll be able to get it to work but it's a minor thing really.
I am running XP so I might look into getting some extra ram. Things seem to move on so quickly nowadays! I havn't had my system that long :rolleyes:

WinXP Pro, AMD XP1700, ATI 8500 64mb, 256mb ram, NTL 512 connection.

C u on server!

Heh i get 15 FPS walking around on my own and about 9 when i am in a battle with a few people.

I just need a new GFX card mine currently isn't HW T&L capable hence the frame rates :(

System = Athlon Tbird 1 Ghz - 256Mb RAM - Hercules Prothet Kyro II 64Mb AGP - Win2k

The GFX card is sweet and has good benchmarks but when it comes to T&L then jeez i'd be better of with a generic EGA card :P

First game i've had probs with.

it took me a couple of mins to load the map, when i had 256mb ram, but i bought another 256mb it decreased the loading time to only 30-40 seconds :D

Looks like it's the ram causing the long load time then :)
Thx
