Re: Half-Life Performance Issues

So, odd thing. I decided to change out heatsinks between my Katmai and my Coppermine, seeing as the Katmai was really the one that needed active cooling. Once I did that, I got to Blast Pit, and it's running somewhat better than it did on the Coppermine, even though the Coppermine runs at 600MHz, …

You can also use the -32bpp flag for 32 bit color as the old version of the game seems to default to 16-bit. Game looks much better for me that way. What kind of range do you see while you're playing? I ran FRAPS, it borught my performance down in general, more frame drops and the such, but it …

I honestly have to say that I have zero idea why Half-Life continues to have frame drops like it does. I have changed the drivers to the Detonator drivers instead of the ASUS drivers, I have tried setting it to low-quality audio, I have looked to see if EAX or A3D are enabled (they aren't), and I'm …

I don't know what to tell you, but imo 35-40FPS avg is pretty bad, you are probably hitting very low minimums. Are you pulling those numbers by estimating or do you run something like FRAPS to determine the framerate? No, I'm not using anything like FRAPS, I'm just estimating, really. I can't …

Yeah I got a bum board I guess. It works totally fine everywhere else but F1 will make it go insane with smiley face characters in DOS mode so I can't open help menus in any program unless I launch it in Win98. I wasted a good deal of time trying to diagnose that with no luck, but I digress lol. …

Just a curiosity because I bought a new se440bx-2 a year or two ago from ebay. When you hit F1 on your keyboard in dos mode does everything go haywire and crash ? :P Just tried it, and everything works fine. I guess yours might have been buggered or something. You should definitely be getting …

Aaand while testing half-life a little, I get a BSOD. I had turned it to render sprites using software, and used low-quality sound, and it was running alright- I had paused it a few times before to turn around and refresh the page on Vogons to see if I got any new responses, and I paused it again to …

Half-Life is very demanding, but the TNT2 M64 is actually alright, especially at 640x480. It really is the CPU that causes the performance drops here. As suggested, disable A3D or EAX if enabled, they would only make the CPU overhead greater. Also, make sure to use older drivers, perhaps Detonator …

Do you have EAX/A3D enabled by any chance? Your sound card does not fully support those in hardware and that might be causing issues. Just guessing here. No, not to my knowledge. Unless something like that gets automatically enabled, I don't see why one of those options would've been selected. …
