Re: Mechwarrior 2 ATi Rage edition runs super laggy on Rage Pro?

Thanks, man! Great videos. I see that even with the "proper" video card running it, the ATi rage version looks kinda crappy. Ah, for the longest time I was fooled into thinking it was the best looking version - courtesy of one small screenshot included on an old ATi 3D Xpression box. On the upside, …

Dude, he spoke about that just a couple of posts above. Dude ! ! ! Okay, I got it, it is MW2. Remember to shove what is nagging you a bit harder. Cause it seems to slip out every now and then, from your rear. vetz: you are doing a great job ! http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/26921147.jpg …

DonutKing, I never knew such a kickass rescaling option existed for Dosbox. The results are more than acceptable to me (just looking at the screenshots I'd say brilliant). I'll have to check it out sometime and report back.

Ok thanks for the confirmation guys. Guess I'll have to deal with uber jaggies. Slighty off-topic but what the heck: would you guys recommend the "New Missions" option where supposedly some of the very difficult original missions in X-Wing are toned down? I've never played the single player campaign …

X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM ... no 640x480 resolution?

in DOS
Well guess I bought just about every version of X-Wing ever released now... - Original DOS version : couldn't run properly on my Windows 98 machine and no patience to troubleshoot it - X-Wing Collector Series version: runs great with nice 3D acceleration and even anti-aliasing but no iMuse …

So, it just boils down to one game? Any other games before the V2s arrived? I've really lost faith in Carmack. He was the shizanit back in the 90's though I guess. The thing that got me the most was that when Doom 3 was released the said that the world will catch up graphically [to D3] in a couple …

` timedemo demo1 That usually works, ;) though it's best to bind f1 to that command so you can bench with the console getting out of the way Hmm no "demo1" in my demo version of Hexen II, lol. Now trying to figure out the commands to allow me to record a demo myself. EDIT: Okay created my own …

Oh and once I get some benchmarks going, I'll swap out the 14.3MHz crystal oscillator on my M3D for something like a 18MHz one for a massive boost in performance...if it doesn't kill the video card. Overclocking success! I didn't change out the oscillator; instead I soldered on a simple toggle …

Turns out one of the radar modes screw up the targeting box and crosshair. I tried a lot of things in the control panel to speed it up including turning off fog, filtering and turning on automatic mip mapping to barely anything exceeding 25fps. You're getting 40+? Weiiiiiiiiiird... and what's with …

Aha! I found a fix! It is due to the amount of ground texture tiling that slows things to a halt. I had to open up the "skygnd.par" file, empirically find the offending map, and reduce the tiling factor. Details: For example, the Rolling Hills map in Trials of Grievance ran at sub 10fps by default …

It works with my copy. Thanks! (Netmech not tested yet though) For some reason I get a crosshair/targeting box alignment screwup also it runs slowly when you have the little 3d display of the target mech :P Hmm I really don't have that problem - it actually plays really well; if I had to guess …
