Hello, I'm trying to play unreal 1 (no patches) on my pentium 166MMX with 12mb voodoo 2 and 128 mb RAM, unfortunately, it is so jerky that it is unplayable! In many places i can only get 10 fps at 640x480. I know that this processor is at the very low end of the required specs but with the voodoo2 and large amount of RAM this should be better I think?
I'm certain that the voodoo2 is working and some other games like Quake 2 do play ok while I have the above issue with Blood 2 and SHOGO.
This particular computer is actually the very first that I owned and the configuration is the same as when i last used it and put it into storage. The only thing that I have done is reinstalled windows 98 and the drivers from the manufacturer disks and the last stock drivers for the voodoo 2 from falconfly. I remember playing Unreal a lot on this machine and i was wondering if it was always like this and I just put up with it or if there is something wrong.... I can't believe that i would have bothered to complete it if was always like this but maybe if I didn't know any different!
I was wondering if I could ask someone who may have similar specs to try and run up Unreal and report what kind of fps they are getting? Also any suggestions as to what may be wrong would be welcome!!
Thanks!
