FPS Problems?

[YoraS]

:scared:I can't seem to make my card switch to 2d mode... It has directdraw 3d and the 2d mode, when i skip the vid test and set it to 2d mode and try the vid test again its always on 3d mode


I'm on a HP dv7 laptop, its a 2.1ghz dual core with 4gb's of ram

when I had a 800mhz pc i used to get 60-80 fps!!!! Now i get 20-40fps and it drops to 10fps in big mobs


any advice any help anone? :cursing:


it seems some people get 200-300fps in the stash area i get 60

it looks like in directdraw 2d isnt giving me more fps than direct 3d im so confused! lol

the newer the computer the worse d2 will play, its because of the age of the game that your computer wants to perform more but it has to force itself to work less than its idle performance, causing it to actually work more to work less?

Theres a spoof out there and i cant remember the name that creates an artificial 2d application which gets rid of it. google might help o.o

That's not quite true tbh.. I just got a new computer and I run Diablo 2 with constant 61 fps (hidden vsync or just the new computer = d2 plays worse thing?).. I realize that perhaps if I got an older computer I would get like 500^10 fps everywhere but why would I want to.

thanks guys, ive talked to a couple people online with good rigs and they seem to be getting 200-300fps ingame

i disabled vsync for all applications on my card but it still didnt help

i got it running in directdraw 2d and get a constant fps just wanted to get a nice 100fps+ to stay out of FPS spikes

by any chance is the program ur talkin about called like d2glfx or something, a glide fx simulator or osmething to that effect? i heard something about that thing
