its really laggy on my system for some odd reason... im running it @ 1024x768 im gettin a max of 20 fps and usually 11 fps. i have every settin on max and 2xfsaa/16x anisotropic filtering.
jk2 was running fine before even at 1280x1024 6xfsaa full details

rogeld · Sep 6, 2003, 02:19 PM

Not sure what to tell you BiG, I have a slower CPU but the same video card, and I have 4xFSAA/16X AF and all settings maxed and it ran smooth as silk. I suggest lowering or turning off your FSAA and/or AF and see if that helps at all.

Why just play the demo...? I've had a different form of this game for about 1 month........

Hey Big...

Try turning off Dynamic Glow & Shadows...you'll see your fps jump back up then too.

I've also noticed w/ the latest Cat's & Fraps they don't like this game much...at least the "version" I have. So the old cl_framerate works well.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 6, 2003, 09:34 PM

i always used cg_drawfps in quake. and man i want dynamic glow and shadows

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 6, 2003, 09:44 PM

well turning it off made it go to 30 or so... this has to be a ATi issue. now way a radeon 9700 pro should be runnin a game at under 30 fps. its retarded

Dyre Straits · Sep 6, 2003, 09:46 PM

I'm having no issues at all with this demo. With just about everything turned on....including the dynamic glow and shadows.

I'm playing at 1152 x 864 x 32. I might be able to bump the res up, but it looks and plays great!

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 6, 2003, 09:48 PM

anyone with a similar system setup as me with a 9700 pro tell me how is it

Dyre Straits · Sep 6, 2003, 10:00 PM

FWIW, I do NOT have TruForm enabled.

Necrosis · Sep 6, 2003, 10:12 PM

Hmm odd....

W/ it off I hit around 75fps at 1280x1024 AA4x/AF8xQ..I'm limited to 75 because of my monitor.

Now with those options on I'm hitting around 35-50FPS.

with which options on

Necrosis · Sep 6, 2003, 10:41 PM

Everything in the game, all the eye candy. BTW, try turning off triple buffering to see if that will help.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 6, 2003, 10:48 PM

ah man thats why i play these star wars games. the eye candy!

Necrosis · Sep 6, 2003, 10:57 PM

BTW, I meant I have it with all the eye candy on, and earlier was I was talking about just those two options.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 6, 2003, 11:00 PM

man jedi academy graphics blow then... LOL if they used the Unreal Warfare engine the game would make me piss my pants because the amount of detail u can put on with that engine isnt even funny

Necrosis · Sep 6, 2003, 11:03 PM

The graphics are good but of course they good be better. I guess that is what happens when you use a graphics engine that finished development in 1998.

@/2ct!< · Sep 6, 2003, 11:30 PM

Graphics still seem a lot better than JK2 though, well, not a lot... have no fps problems here with decen settings

Then again, look at Call of Duty- same engine, but the graphics in that demo are amazing, even by todays standards. The engine is showing it's age a little though, it won't be long now before no new games use it.

i think this is a cat's driver issue... im thinkin bout goin back to omegas hmmm

If you're going to try an older set, I'd suggest the ones based on CAT 3.4.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Sep 7, 2003, 12:31 PM

thats wut im thinkin... but i also play ravenshield which i think had their issues even in 3.4. but 3.4 was the best.
