adressing an INS issue

[!EpIc fAiL!]

ok as some ppl might have noticed my weird activity lately. i am here to tell you that the reason i havent been so much more active is b/c i am having serious FPS drops latley, only does it when i play on a server with lots of ppl on. so if i get on and then randomly leave like 5 minutes after i die or what not, its not b/c im rage quiting . im am on my new laptop and my brother is hogging the desktop. :facewall: :cursing: :angry: and so if i am on and i am camping in one spot (usually defending a objective) its b/c i am getting good FPS there...lol thats why i usually get the sniper and miliant weapon so i can snipe from where i am getting a decent FPS like 17 and up. i will try to get my issue resolved ASAP. but despite this issue i am still going to play INS. the game is to great to let this issue keep me from playing.

Sounds like the problem i was having on my laptop, was lucky when my fps was in the 20's.

ya i know its not my video card cause it has 1.3 GB memory. and it can play DODs and HL2 smoothly. and cause it plays fine when the server is under 15 players

You might try re-installing INS if it's only occurring while you play this particular game. Especially since those other games have much higher system requirements. I don't know for sure, though. Good luck!

how can i un-install and make it where it wont remember my system settings and other stuff, pretty much make it like i never installed it. cause i tried but it remembered everything, my name, system setting and my screenshots where saved..etc

Hmm... interesting. I would try un-installing it and then deleting the Insurgency folder in SteamApps. I really haven't had much experience trouble shooting Steam and it's problems are unique. Someone else here should know more.

You can uninstall it by going to your games folder on steam, and right click it and choose delete content, and than just reinstall it.

It doesnt delete your game, just the content of it, so u can redownload it

You can also try to find settings that give you higher fps I am pretty sure there must be a guide out there about one.

17>5. :confused1:

17>5. :confused1:

exactly. my FPS goes as low as 9. and if its 17 and up its playable. atleast to me.

I don't think laptops are the issue. I'm playing on one and my FPS is fine...

I'm having the same problem, so 17 fps is decent lol. I drop down to 9 at times.

Anyway, maybe if you reduce video quality and audio quality. I personally put ALL of my games on the lowest dx possible. I'm running ins on dx7.0 lol. l4d only goes down to 9 I run smooth on all other games, hl2, CS:S, tf2, but ins has been quirky lately.

ya it does this on the lowest settings too. my graphics card has 128mb dedicated and a total of 1.3 gb, so i doubt thats the issue. it may be the source engine, but idk.
