DoD FPS Issue

[kanguhhh]

So 3 days ago now I started having some severe FPS issues with DoD only. Whenever I get around someone, whenever someone is shooting at me or whenever I'm shooting at someone really my fps just drops to around 40-50 and my game is incredibly choppy and hard to play. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling my drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling dod, and tried to set DoD on high priority for shits and giggles and none of it worked. The only issue is with DoD 1.3. I can run games like CoD4 at 250 fps constant. Do any of you gurus have any ideas?

I'm having the same issue, Mostly on lennon but other maps as well. All my other games run fine any help would be great!


Thanks

As I said in vent, try running the game in d3d. That worked for me when I had this issue with my old computer.

cl_particlefx 0
cl_bulletejects 0

should prolly help if you already deactivated vsync on your gfx

I never had a problem w/ fps issues in my previous machines.
I met poor performance in dod after installing a couple of Radeon 7950's in crossfire while running in d3d.
I had always run dod in d3d before this build and never had a problem.
When I ran the game in open gl the issue was eliminated and the game runs normal with the fps pinned, regardless of fps_max setting.

Try cl_dynamiclights "0"

That seem to fix my issue when I'm shooting at someone and my fps randomly drops to 50-60.

Are you running 2 video cards in SLI? My game was running choppy when I first got SLI so I disabled it for hl.exe

That's odd. I don't seem to have any issues but I might have accidentally configured SLI to do this. I remember there being a setting for primary/secondary graphics cards.

i run sli gtx 580 superclocked and i have never had a problem with SLI in half life.

if your running on a high speed net, and your computer is fairly new. I would consider try doing what I did by lowering the FPS_Max to 85 and FPS modem to 90 and see how that does. Also set your CPU affinity to 1 core, since this game was made on outdated tech that causes problems for some newer computers.

Also I am running on AMD 6770's in crossfire, and Iv never had a problem where I had to disable just ti increase my fps. it sounds more like bottlenecking then anything, so I would try setting your CPU Affinity to 1 and try the FPS changes also like I said up top.
