[d3th_viper]

:( Iam another counter-strike fan i realize that if you get better fps your shot ratio goes up :D So if any one can help me with this your time would be greatly apprectiated!PLEASE HELP!

are your specs still "pent/2 400mhz with 100mhz system bus 96mb sdram memory 32mb ati all in wonder with upgraded drivers 8.1 directx "

What operating system are you running?

What screen resolution are you running?

Are you using OpenGL?

For your video card make sure you turn vertical sync off.

go to your counterstrike directory and find the file config.cfg then copy all the parameters and post them,,, dont post all the bind commands for your keys.

hmmm how do you insert a bmp?

[bknight]

ok try this in config fps_72 put it to 100 or 120 so in game it should be at 100fps it will go up and in game

[tHE_0ne]

fps_max or somthing set it higher

also try

r_decals 0
mp_decals 0

[BlackSword]

fps_max "100.0"
fps_modem "0.0"
mp_decals "200"
rate "7500.000000"
cl_updaterate "30"
cl_cmdrate "30"

Your mp_decals was way to high try 200, additionally you can limit your rate to 7500, some servers are capped at 8000 so if your pushing 9999 that may cause some pain. Additionally I like to even out my cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate.

Actually my PIII 450 at home,,, I think I have updaterate and cmdrate limited to 20.

I will check it out tonight.

One question for you is,,, how many FPS do you get now?

P.S. You didn't answer any of my other questions,,, are you going to answer them?

[d3th_viper]

will try it out and let you know how i make out thanks agian!:D I did awnser your questions you asked what system im running that would be windows 98 you asked what screen reslution im using that would be 16 bit high resalution @ 600/800 and am i using open gl yes Iam using open gl but today i turn open gl off because it seems to be locking up my system my modem even disconnects. and nothing happend when i used just software in game hmmmm. BUT also i was getting between 10 to 20 FPS:( but i just change my config and i will let you know how it works!

[d3th_viper]

well i tried it but no change:( Iam still getting 20-27 fps hmmm. what gives blacksword? AndTHE ONE r_decals ? hmm couldnt find this one?

[BlackSword]

Well my p3 450 with a rage 2 ATI card win98 gets anywhere from 45 to 70 depending on what action is going on (with res at 800x600).

hard to say what you will get out of your p2 400.

did you disable vsync?

what openGL settings can you set on your video card?

worst case you could lower your resolution to 640x480, or try taking it down from the 16bit high res.

also try this when starting the game (it will save some memory)
"C:\Half-Life\hl.exe -noipx -numericping -nojoy -console -game cstrike"

you don't have to put the numericping,, I like it just because I like to see the number.
