Re: MBTR Demo - 5 fps on Voodoo2...why?

I have the same problem, voodoo2 and p2-266.... what has improved framerate while racing is hit F8 to turn off the 2d overlay screen thingie, and hit escape and turn view distance all the way down. At some parts of the track the framerate hits 40 fps and feels fine, but whenever a 2d sprite has to be drawn, the fps drops down to almost nothing. (for example hit the brakes to make the brake lights go on, and you lose about 20 fps. "Thomas Heineman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8kqnid$sam$[email hidden]...

What is wrong? I can run all my other games fine, but with mbtr demo i get max 5 fps! I have tried to fiddle with the settings but nothing seams to help... please help me out (im using the latest v2 drives on a p2 333) Thanks! Thomas

Well, one of your problems may lay in is that in the options menu u selected the 24bit render laying mode. I am not talking about the resolution, but an option on the panel. if disabling that, it should greatly help. and the test machine of the developers are p2 333's with a tnt2 so system specs shouldn't be a problem -- Sincerely, Mark F.

Thanks for the sugesstions! I reinstalled "old" v2 drivers, and hit f8 and made the "drawahead" less... now im getting 50+ fps with framestutter now and then :) Thanks! Thomas Fun game btw :)

I got this at first as well using the generic d3d rasteriser. Try the voodoo banshee. MS (getting 18 fps on a P200MMX and V2 card) . <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8kt9ej$g1e$[email hidden]...

Well, the trucks are limited to 100mph and you do sit high above the road, so I'd be surprised if you got any feel of speed (except when you misjudge a corner <g>). The readme promises a dash view in the full game. BTW: I get reasonable 800X600 on a PIII-450MHz and a single V2. Life is unfair, isn't it? Jan. =--- Larry wrote...

This game is going to require a LOT more than a V2/P266. I've got an 800 and a GeForce DDR and pretty much have to run 800X600. There is a real lack of sensation of speed with this game. That's a shame. Other than that, and the lack of a dash view, it's quite nice and, for a change, different! -Larry tampa <[email hidden]> wrote:
