Fps drop and Windows 8.1

[Ren]

Hey guys,

After many years, I'm back :D. I found a laptop (for free) with Windows 8.1 installed, and I soon installed W:ET and joined TM|Nodownload.

I'm really happy to be able to play again W:ET, but I'm experiencing an fps drop (20-30 fps)

I optimized the system and changed my cfg : in this way I earned 15-20 fps.

I was wondering if windows 8 is not very compatible with W:ET. Can it be useful to install Windows XP instead of W 8.1?

Easy fix for you...grab hammer and hit the computer a few times. It'll work amazingly!!

[Eagle_cz]

Defo try w10 or downgrade to w7 ... with w8 i had almost the same feeling like to drink frozen metaxa. You can try it, but you can't enjoy it ...

[miraro3]

Since it's a laptop, can we assume that you were playing with a wireless internet connection?

 

Welcome back by the way!

[PurpleHaze]

Don't listen, no need for reinstalling your OS for ET  although using Windows8 is good reason to reinstall an other OS, but because of ET. 

Just run in in comptability mode, oh ye and run it as an admin!

 

Miraro his question btw is a good one, playing wireless?

 

If you're not playing wireless and this settings don't help, can you send your cfg so we can check that. I'm a hero with fps settings, i love my powerpoint-ET-laptop game

I run mine on 8.1, run it as admin and connected via wifi or cable (depends where I play) and it does normal fps and no lag. So I dont think you can blame win8.1 for much.

C#

[Ren]

Thank you for ur answers

Ya, probably my laptop suck 

I'm playing with cable, no wifi. I run it in compatibility mode already and also as admin.

@PurpleHaze I will attach my cfg  thx u!

low.cfg

[Eagle_cz]

well, I don't see nothing wrong except this:

seta com_zoneMegs "16"
seta com_hunkMegs "1024"

try to replace it with this:

seta com_hunkMegs "196"
seta com_zoneMegs "32"

also, maybe, replace also this value:

seta com_soundMegs "64" 

 

[Ren]

Thx Sir, I'll try it

[PurpleHaze]

that ain't gonna help a lot, that config is just FUBAR. Sorry but it's made for a graphic card, you don't have, it's normal your fps goes down. 

I have attached my config, used for laptop with intel card (so for low settings), when my laptop is cold i can get 125 stable, my problem is my laptop heats up too much in summer

Things you have to change:

*look at binds, cause you might use other binds

*seta name : you'll have to change

*seta m_pitch: if you don't play inverted remove the - 

*seta r_customwidth and seta r_customheight : set this first to your maximum resolution. (I have widescreen connected so use 1920-1080, but if you don't have widescreen it will probably be 1920-1024)

NEXT STEP:

TRY IT

Works? great, remind yourself Purple is the best

DOESN'T WORK, NEXT STEP:

Lower resolution to 1600 - 1200, if not good go to 1280 * 1024. Me personaly i wouldn't go lower then that. (some play 1024 - 768, but for me it ruins the game). 

Works? Remind yourself Purple is the best

DOESN'T WORK?

Remind yourself Purple is still the best, but just needs more info what happens. 

Let me know how it plays out.

Tnks Toni @Ren better fps?

[Ren]

Ehmmm..no Purple, same fps, more or less 

I will try to kick some asses with 40 fps..I wasn't so bad in the past
