I don't think so. I believe that's to make the weapons sound less monotonous.
Re: Win9x: is there any battery notification?

Is the laptop plugged in or are you actually running off the battery? The icon probably won't appear unless the computer's using the battery.

There's an option to show the power meter icon. Should be in power management.

Completely forgot to follow up on this one. Replacing the existing Bink dll in the Morrowind directory with Bink version 1.5y completely fixed the issue. Thanks, DosFreak!

why 63hz? sources like the old tweakguides page state the game's ticrate is capped to 60fps. as far as i remember the game played fine with a 60fps cap in afterburner/RTSS, i don't know what version of that will still run on XP though. internal framecaps or even just vsync are usually a lot less …

I haven't tried any ports yet - I'll start looking into it. Though, I did read on PCGamingWiki that the timing issues are still present using dhewm.

MrEWhite wrote on 2022-08-10, 23:04: This can be fixed by having a VRR monitor though. That would fix the stutter, sure, but wouldn't you still run into the timing issues (audio being out of sync)? I'm on a CRT monitor and not even setting the refresh rate to 63Hz will prevent the syncing problem.

After some more research and testing, I've come to the conclusion that is not possible to have both smooth gameplay and physics/audio in sync. It's either one or the other as all "fixes" for the stutter put the audio/physics out of sync. Apparently, this affects all Id Tech 4 games (Quake 4, Prey, …

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Doom_3#Textures_are_low-resolution.2C_even_on_Ultra_quality Thanks, that did the trick for the Ultra quality settings. Now all that's left is the micro stutter. According to the wiki, the easiest way to elimate the stutter is to remove the FPS cap by using the …

I've installed Doom 3 (with patch 1.1) on a Core 2 Quad, GTX 580, 4GB RAM, Windows XP machine and I've run into two major issues: - I cannot enable the 'Ultra' quality setting . It seems as though the game cannot detect my graphics card and is defaulting to low settings. I figure I can make a config …

Can you tell me how can i Use Intel- ATI ? I simply install Windows XP and then install the drivers for the GPU. No problems whatsoever. I'm using a Core 2 Quad Q9650 with an AMD HD 7950. I also use an ATI x850xt without issue in combination with the same CPU. You may be running into some …

Why you Edit the HDR in the Config CFG ? FC is only make for 1280x1024 So I wouldn't have to enter it into the console during gameplay. Not sure what resolution has to do with it, but Far Cry supports resolutions beyond 1280x1024. I'm playing at 1600x1200. I have not Played FC with AMD-ATI, because …

Does anyone know what the 6th CD is that's included with the retail release? The readme nor the instruction booklet explain what it's used for. The CD case says it's a 5 disc package but there is a 6th disc labeled, "AMD64 - Not For Resale", without any "Install" or numbering text like the other CDs …

Looks like the game had defaulted to shader model 1.1. I think the issue was caused by the fact that I changed the 'r_hdrrendering' setting directly in the system.cfg before even launching the game for the first time. After reinstalling, loading into game first, and then entering the command via …

Any idea why I'm unable to turn on HDR? I get a black screen upon loading into a level with HDR enabled and if I try to turn it on via console command, nothing happens. Using a GTX 580 (262.99 driver) on XP SP3 32-bit, retail game patched to 1.33. EDIT: This is bizarre. Same issue with an HD 7950 …

Started running into a driver crash on the level 'Core'. It'll either crash immediately upon starting the level, or shortly after. Rather than test more drivers, I decided to try out my Radeon HD 7950 which is a nice performance boost. Also, the rockslide FPS drop I described in an earlier post …

Performance is playable throughout the entire game with 'Very High' settings at 1600x1200 (anywhere between 25-60 fps). It's just when those rock slides occur in Awakening that the FPS dips into the single digits. It spikes right back up to normal once the rumbling stops. My guess is it's some sort …

Does anyone else experience a massive framerate drop during the level 'Awakening' when the rock slides occur? Everytime those huge boulders tumble down the mountainside, my FPS goes down into the single digits. What could be causing this? Some sort of CPU limitation? I'm using a Q9650 Core 2 Quad …

Playing Morrowind GOTY edition (which is fully up-to-date) on Windows XP with a Core 2 Quad Q9650 CPU and I'm experiencing stutter during Bink videos. The audio plays back fine, but the video appears to "lag" behind the audio at random times, only to quickly speed up to get back in sync. Any way to …
