You should use Clip Hint.

Uncheck the box for "ARB-Erweiterungen fur Texture-Kompression".


Now I need to see your entire conf.ini file Big Grin

...then go test the above changes. By the time you test, I will have your conf.ini evaluated.

nonplusultra,


I especially need to see the OpenGL or DirectX section of the conf.ini file.

The 8800 GT is a bit week to use OpenGL, but you might be able to get nice image and performance with it. We shall see.

nonplusultra,


I see that you are using OpenGL.

The OpenGL section of the conf.ini file is what I need.

nonplusultra,

Look closely at the above changes that I made and apply them. After you test them, let me know the results.

I applied them, the lines are now closer together, but still there.
I'll update the driver of my graphics card tomorrow, im offline now.

Good: Progress and "process of elimination", as we sometimes say in the West.

yea...thats my issue im trying to fix..when stuff blows up or lots of fire and smoke my fps drops and laggs. My squad recently switched to UP3.0 and I hate it with a passion. when i was running hsfx my game ran like it should but now it runs like crap and i got so fed up with it I reformatted to see if that would help. do you know any specific settings I can tweak to try and get my fps a little bit higher when explosions/smoke/fire happen?

Hi, Snook

Many things effect FPS, but most of them only slightly.

However, Anti-aliasing has a huge effect on it. Land, sky, and sea textures also have a big impact on FPS in systems that are challenged for one reason or another. (Distance detail or the range at which distant details become clear, called Anisotropic Filtering)

Another thing to consider is that UltraPack has some nice features to help you. I would recommend asking for help in this thread and at UltraPack website.
