Taking a break.

[Shake the Crime Stick]

Well for some reason DoD runs like crap now. Dont know what happened, but I upgraded to the latest forceware drivers and now DoD is totally unplayable. Its not just eGo servers, any server. I was on Avalanche earlier and it was fine but there were only 6 or 7 players. Seems when a server is populated the performance goes right down the tubes. Its not lag, its the game itself. Its like Im getting 15fps where I usually get 60+ on my rig. Didnt change any settings and cant find a way to fix it. I tried going back to the last version of forceware but that didnt help at all.

For now I'll be taking a break from DoD until this issue resolves itself. Either the latest forceware totally breaks Source games, or something is screwy on my rig and I cant be bothered to tear it apart right now.

Adieu all, hopefully I'll come back soon and shamelessly camp the MG on Kalt!

Nvidia

I had problems as well with the nvidia 9800 gtx+, however, it's nothing an ati 5870 hd won't cure. It cured mine. Weappon X was running my old 9800 gtx+, but now he has a 285gtx with the latest driver on win 7 and it runs pretty well. Maybe it's vista? Is that the os you are running?

I was feeling the same way. I felt hits were off, I got random lag spikes, models would materialize as I got closer even though none of these were a problem.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled it and things have been fine. I can finally use my rifles in peace.

Well I uninstalled and deleted any traces of DoD. Reinstalled it, and now it seems to work fine. A few hitches here and there but its probly just lag. Guess something got corrupted or perhaps it was just too bloated. It runs at almost 60fps for me with 4xAA and 4xAF on highest settings at 1680x1050 so my rig handles it fine. Im on Windows 7 64bit btw.

I did try some other servers that downloaded a bunch of crap so perhaps there was a resource that was causing some problems.
